Calendar

Time on Halse is tracked much the same way as on Earth, with a 24-hour day/night cycle. Nomenclature is the only real difference.

Calendars
The Halshan imperial solar calendar is the most widely-accepted calendar in the world, having been in use since over a thousand years ago. According to it, there are six months in a year of 365 days. The years of the calendar correspond to real world dates (i.e., if it is 2019 in the real world, it is 2019 in Karsen). Some nations give various titles to the centuries, but Halshans do not.

Months are named for the six destructive aspects of the ancient Halshan representation of the Consuming One, Varemyi. Each Halshan month corresponds to two real world months, as shown below. Within the Halshan Empire, the names in the second column from the left are used. In the far reaches of Halsha's territory and around the rest of the continent, the names in the third column are used.

Days of the Week
The Halshan calendar observes a seven-day week, named for idols of the Coil. The Consuming One, the Accursed One, and the Nascent One are not included due to certain religious beliefs of the Halshan cult. Other nations have their own calendars, but these are not well-recognized outside of cultural borders.
