Tulkon Calendar

The Tulkon Calendar is the main calendar used by the Four Earthly Peoples. It is centered around the year that Bytu became the Tulkon, which is called 0 AT in the calendar. The year is 12 months long. Each month is four 7-day weeks long, and the seasons change every three months. The calendar was developed by Tulkon Darrokh when he built the Temple of the Tulkon, and has been adopted by all cultures and religious traditions. Darrokh deliberately left two months unnamed so that they would be named after the next two Tulkons, who ended up being Nyrota and Kedur. Some important holidays are included. (Note: the birthdays of each of the Tulkons are holidays in several religions, but there are too many to all be included here!)
