Days of the Week
It may be useful to know the day of the week and the hour of the day for certain riddles and magic.
To calculate which week day it is for any date in the Haldeven Calendar, just follow these simple steps:
subtract 1 from the year
multiply the result by 366 (the number of days in a Haldeven year)
add the number of days since the first of the year (i.e., don't count 1st St. Jephson)*
divide the result by 7
if there is no remainder, it is St. Milo's Day
if there is a remainder of 1 (.1428), it is St. Trin's Day
if there is a remainder of 2 (.2857), it is St. Waring's Day
if there is a remainder of 3 (.4285), it is St. Thyra's Day
if there is a remainder of 4 (.5714), it is St. Felam's Day
if there is a remainder of 5 (.7142), it is St. Sibyl's Day
if there is a remainder of 6 (.8571), it is St. Sibert's Day
*A simple way to calculate the number days since 1st St. Jephson is to subtract 1 from the day of the month, and then add to the result a number based on what month it is:
St. Jephson -- 0
St. Fiona -- 31
St. Madho -- 61
St. Aithne -- 92
St. Morley -- 122
St. Jilian -- 153
St. Jacoby -- 183
St. Alda -- 214
St. Selig -- 244
St. Odile -- 275
St. Norval -- 305
St. Dagmar -- 336
Thus, for instance, 8th St. Odile, Year 1963, fell on St. Sibert's Day.
Hours of the Day
The human nations in this setting reckon the hours of the day, like the Romans, starting at dawn. So the 1st hour is the equivalent of our 6:00 a.m., and so on. Eg., the 1st hour of Sibyl on St. Thyra's Day would be noon.
Rouvanian Days and Months
The Rouvanian calendar is based on an eight-day week and an eight-month year.
