Shanian Calendar

The Shanian Calendar is a solar calendar with pseudo-lunar elements. It has 375 days in a year, 12 months, and 8 days in a week. Every month has 32 days with the exception of Wandermonth, which has 23 days. The calendar was set in place during the Makta Empire. The calendar starts 32 days before the spring equinox.

The month are named according to the astrological sign the sun is in during that period. They are in order as:
 * 1) Kingmonth
 * 2) Priestmonth
 * 3) Merchantmonth
 * 4) Fishermonth
 * 5) Servantmonth
 * 6) Craftermonth
 * 7) Farmermonth
 * 8) Warriormonth
 * 9) Bardmonth

 * 11) Rangermonth
 * 12) Wandermonth

Weeks
The days of the week are named as Restday, Shineday, Leafday, Rootday, Marchday, Sailday, Nobleday, and Royalday. They are named after symbolic representations of how someone feels during the work week.

Most countries have Restday as a government enforced day of no forced labor. Even slaves to be allowed to take a break on that day. No one is forced not to work though and may work voluntarily.

Weeks are also sometimes named according to the quarter phase of Lanark during that week. In this way days are rarely referred to as a number but rather year, month, week name, and day name.

Leap Years
Every 8 years a day is added to Wandermonth, which is called Empireday as it occurs on a Royalday. Also every 117 years a day is taken away from Wandermonth. This is why the last day of the year is called Knightday as it occurs on a Nobleday.
