Time

Time in the Everwind Series differs from that on earth. One full rotation of Galwyndor is .9 times that of a single rotation of earth (one Galywndorian day equals 21.6 earth hours), and each Galwyndorian day is broken up into 33 hours, as is each month composed of 33 days. There are also only nine months in a year, for a total of 297 days a year. There are eight days in a week, with one extra day per calendar month.

Date Formats

The current population uses a common system that is based on the establishment of the Erilorian Empire. It was originally taught to humans by the Veninar after first contact, and a number of alternatives replaced it over the years. It was revived by Jogan 3 vig Jerinsen, head of the Arkaeni, and his brother, King Adion 4 vig Jerinsen, in EE 10,975.

Each year is written as "EE 11,298.7" or by its shorthand version "1298.7". When used without the EE it is recognized as being shorthand. The decimal point and the number after it, in this case the "7", denotes the month. So 1298.7 would be the month of Trunalus in the year 11,298. This can also be taken further so as to include the day: 1298.7.33 (33rd day of Trunalus in the year 11,298). The decimal system here works perfectly because there are only 9 months to a year.
