Autica is a land dominated by it's elements. Dramatic separation between the four seasons shapes the calendar of it's people. The Autican year lasts for 380 days, separated into 8 months of alternating 47 or 48 days. Each month is marked by the cycles of Autica's dual moons, as approximately every 47 days both moons enter the new moon stage of their cycle simultaneously. Weeks last 7 days, and use the common denominations for their days.
The seasons change approximately every two months, with the coming of spring occurring at the beginning of the calendar year, follow by summer, autumn and finally winter. Spring and Winter last slightly longer, on average, by a week or two, than Summer and Autumn.
Years are currently tallied AGT (After Golden Tyranny). The current year is 264 AGT. This years stars-sign is the Leviathan.
Dates are written in Day/Month/Year format, whenever noted by scholars.
