Voxana uses a thirteen-month calendar of twenty-eight days each, totaling three hundred and sixty-four days per year. Each month spans exactly four seven-day weeks. The calendar is shared across both continents, though local naming variations exist in some regions. Scholars believe it predates the Split, making it one of the few cultural artifacts that survived the cataclysm intact.
The year begins with Frostfall, the first month of winter, and ends with Loomtide, a month dedicated not to any god but to the Loom itself—a time of renewal, reflection, and the turning of the cycle.
| # | Month | Season | Character |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Frostfall | Early Winter | First snows fall. The world quiets. Communities turn inward. |
| 2 | Frostveil | Deep Winter | The coldest month. Hearth-bound. Stories told by firelight. |
| 3 | Starlight’s End | Midwinter | The darkest nights. Stargazing, remembrance of the dead, and vigils for the returning light. |
| 4 | Thawmere | Late Winter | Ice breaks on rivers and lakes. The first stirrings of movement after the long cold. |
| 5 | Bloomwind | Early Spring | First flowers. Planting begins. The wind carries the scent of new growth. |
| 6 | Greenrise | Mid Spring | Growth surges. Forests awaken. Druids hold their most sacred rites. |
| 7 | Summerflare | Early Summer | Heat builds. Trade caravans launch. Festival season begins. |
| 8 | Brightcrest | Midsummer | The longest days. Peak of light. Major holy days for Sarus. Guild contracts surge. |
| 9 | Moonbask | Late Summer | Warm nights under bright moons. Lunar celebrations for Uvian. Romance and revelry. |
| 10 | Stormsong | Early Autumn | Tempests roll in off the Great Sea. Harvest urgency. Amera’s faithful rejoice. |
| 11 | Harvestmoon | Mid Autumn | The main harvest. Feasts of plenty. Trade peaks as goods flow to market. |
| 12 | Ashfall | Late Autumn | Leaves fall. First frosts. Preparation for winter. Debts settled. |
| 13 | Loomtide | The Loom’s Month | Renewal and reflection. Not tied to any god. The weave turns. The year ends and begins again. |
Loomtide holds special significance across both continents. It is the month when temples of all gods hold joint services, when old grievances are formally put to rest, and when the Firefly Brigade traditionally reviews the year’s expeditions and records. In many communities, the final night of Loomtide is celebrated with lantern releases, symbolizing threads being returned to the Loom.
In-World Note: Dating Conventions
Years in Voxana are counted from the Split, abbreviated PS (Post-Split). The current year is approximately 1000 PS. Events before the Split are dated BS (Before Split) in scholarly texts, though such references are rare—most pre-Split records were destroyed in the cataclysm.
