The Chronology of Armonía
The Realms of Armonía are just that, Realms, meaning every Realm has a different revolution period following the sun. Unlike the sun, Lusine solved this problem by sending Elathese priests to become moons for every Realm. Each Realm has a designated Moon ambassador who acts as the moon of the Realm. This led the Realms to make a unified lunar calendar instead of many solar calendars. (This is a slightly confusing concept due to the complexities of the personified and non-personified versions of the moon. The Elathese priests are human-like, yet they are a more diminutive form of the moon. If this still doesn't make sense, that's okay. It's not supposed to make complete sense since they are gods, and we are humans, humans unable to understand the complexity that is divinity). A day lasts 24 hours. There are seven days per week, starting with Akudei and ending with Endyrdei. There are 12 months in a year, ranging from Elaymalune to Kuolemaa, and each month being approx. 29.6 days long. A whole year is 355 days long. As the year rotation is 355 days, there is no need for any leap or make-up days.Moon, Seasons, and Eras
The 1st of Elaymalune marks the beginning of Eteri, the Spring Season. The 1st of Myrskma marks the beginning of Idris, the Summer Season. The 2nd of Ardaelune marks the beginning of Avani, the Autumn Season. The 2nd of Luftilune marks the beginning of Shui, the Winter Season. The moons of the Realms each have a 30-day cycle with a one-day offset, making each month approximately. 29.6 days long. Every month, we will experience a full moon and a new moon. The Universe of the realms is split into two Eras: the Chaos era and the Harmonium era. The Chaos Era was ruled by the tyrant overlord Chaos and ended during what is known as year 0. The Sun and Moon twins ruled the Harmonium Era, which began after a successful banishment of Chaos, now known as year 0. The Universe existed way before the Chaos Era, known as the Wonder Era, though it is not counted as a legitimate era for the obscurities it holds. The Chaos Era was around for thousands of years before the Twins successfully brought it down. The Harmonium Era has since lasted 4047 years.*Note the Celestine calendar applies to the Realm of Elatha but doesn't apply to the Realm of Xihe as Xihe has no moons.
