The Imperial Calendar

In the Imperial calendar, there are four hundred days in the year, divided into 12 months and six intercalary days. The week is eight days long.

There are two lunar cycles. The larger moon, Mannslieb, waxes and wanes according to a predictable 25-day cycle. The smaller moon, Morrslieb, is unpredictable, save on the nights of Hexensnacht (“Witching Night”) and Geheimnisnacht (“Night of Mystery”), when both moons are full. These occasions are greatly feared, and even the most hardened cynics stay out of the moons’ eerie light.
