Marphat calendar
The Marphat calendar is a calendar in use across Ashnan, Etzsavaz, and Yazzerland, originally used in Marphat, with year 0 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 243.66 days, putting the year slightly over the actual solar year, meaning the calendar gains a day about every 200 years.
