Faynian Calendar

The Faynian Calendar is the most widely-used calendar in Saudade. It is named after the Fayne, who were assumed to have been the creators of the system in the first place.

The system has sixteen months, all consisting of exactly twenty-five days. Each month has five weeks, all consisting of five days.

Each month and day of the week is named after a specific significant Fayne, with all names coming from The Yugen, a book containing the origins of life on Saudade and its history before the disappearance of the Fayne.

Months
The sixteen Fayne which the months are named after are considered some—though not all—of the most important Fayne documented in The Yugen, the most notable being Ohre, Queen of the Fayne, and her daughter, Lain, whom the first and last months are named after, respectively.

It is a noted phenomenon that most Elementals born during a certain month are given that Fayne as a Patron Fayne, though exceptions are not exceedingly rare. Most notably, there are certain Fayne who do not have a month named after them that are Patron Fayne, and all children born within the walls of the Ministry Castle receive Ohre as their patron.

Days of Week
The days of the week are named after the Fiver Fayne, who were born five days in succession of each other.
