The Imperial Kayotian Calendar

The Imperial Kayotian Calendar was invented during the Decade of Cheer, once the empire was formed and pronouncing itself throughout the land. It was cultivated by an agreed gathering of the new empress' more primal inner-circle, and opinions gathered from closer public. Initially it started in a three-month span, before adjusting with trade cycles and differing sciences, quickly becoming established just before the First Common Scholar millennia. However the months are considered more close to seasons, rather that more evened weeks/days. As a result, agreed anecdotal ideas for example have dubbed summer's season (Gilda's Observance) to be the longest for a warmer climate of origin with a hundred-thirty days to its namesake, and ideal expectations to hold the most productive activity within the empire.  

1. Month Of Void - Void is considered the starting season, as Void reaches into the depths beyond life until there is nothing, so it is the start of the month. Each return to the season, is a celebrated ideal of the world renewing itself and quickly regrowing life from winter. Mage work may be most idealized or guarded against in this period. However as the seasonal flux was more difficult to draw, its considered to have only 54 days and being the shortest month.
   
   
2. Gilda's Observance - Summer time, named from Gilda being the patron goddess of sun, fire, and the hot temperatures the season brings. Reketta in further reaches of the empire thrive best in these warm times, and its suggested to be the empire's most expecting and productive times. There is harsher demands to keep water supported in the captial regions closer to desert territories. Gilda's Observance is the longest month at 130 days.
   
   
3. Month of Dreaming - Month of Dreaming was measured once to be about the time it takes to start achieving consistently cooling temperatures, and transitions from fall to even holding in the deeper winter's greeting. Its considered the time when more indoor work is done by the aristocracy, and the likes of those that study magic and Dreaming, while others are allowed more rest and healing time to themselves. Month of Dreaming lasts nearly Gilda's length, spanning 115 days, once marked more by how long it takes to reach the first frosting over greener lands.
   
   
4. Time of Scholars - Roughly an ideal extension for the aristocracy to continue their work. It was initially split off from Dreaming and Void months to actually help arrange a better kept lot of time with tradesmen and the world that was coming into use of a unified "Common Scholar Period" of record and history checking. It also became integrated with more larger tutoring rooms to be a time of reflective studies and testing for younger reketta. It lasts 76 days. It is worth noting that despite calendar conflicts with other parts, the imperial reketta do go by the CSP form of dating their years in line with the majority of Ezqotia.

  Each week is then composed of six days. The days were mostly named after the theme of Titanism, ordered like an idea of creation or origin activity.  

1. Yolday - The first, as first there was Yol.
   
   
2. Gildenday - Named after Yol's wife, the all-mother Gilda
   
   
3. Solday - Taken from an older tribal idealism, this was meant to be "Soul Day" keeping in line with the origin of the world and granting souls from Yol & Gilda's love.
   
   
4. Dohg [Do-heg] - A crude acronym for Day of Hunters And Gatherers among the souls.
   
   
5. Kayoday - The Day of Kayomagus' death that formed the Kayotian continent.
   
   
6. Kesiday - Named after the first empress, Kesi'iloquet, and a smug way to place her name after while on the same pedestal as the great creators of rekettan mythos.
