The Marphat calendar has a three-year cycle approximating the solar year as lasting 295.{{overline|665}} days, putting the year slightly under the actual solar year, meaning the calendar loses a day about every 10,000 years.

The Marphat calendar is a calendar in use across Ashnan, Etzavaz, and Yazland, originally used in Marphat, with year 1 being the ascendance to power of King Name, making the current year 4627 CY (Common Year). Its origins are unknown, but likely came out of local calendars in use across the Triangle sea. Due to the Marphat civilisation's influence on trade within the region, the calendar became the main one used in the area.

The Marphat calendar has a three-year cycle approximating the solar year as lasting 295.665 days, putting the year slightly under the actual solar year, meaning the calendar loses a day about every 10,000 years. The original calendrical system did not include the 200-year rule, meaning it gained a day every 200 years - this rule was added in WHENEVER by WHOEVER in WHEREVER. WE SHOULD THINK MORE ABOUT THIS.

Description

The Marphat calendar is a solar calendar with 10 months of 29–30 days each. The year consists of 296 days, with a leap day being removed from Bōmē in the leap years.

A leap year normally occurs every three years, normally on the third year of the calendar cycle, and every 200 years.

Months

Years are divided in 10 months, which all have Marphat names. Years are identified by consecutive year numbers. A calendar date is fully specified by the year (numbered according to a calendar era, in this case CY or BCY), the month (identified by name or number), and the day of the month (numbered sequentially starting from 1).
