kicking around the Talanian calendar for several years now--tweaking it
here and there in my spare time, but for some reason never getting around
to really closing the deal.I'm working on what we hope will be the final rewrite on Vulturian's
Tower right now. If you guys can give me a little time here, I'll talk to
Joe about the possibilities of putting together a report for the list, at
least enough to go on for now.To answer your question directly, though: yes, there are names for the
days of the week (seven, just like ours) and for the months (actually,
two for all twelve of the latter, representing the Dragon Lands and the
LL). The years have names too, at least for the TwiceBorn. There's also
some tricks for figuring out the phases of the moon, to find out when the
Night of the Scarlet Moon occurs in any particular year.Maybe this'll be the kick in the pants I need....
