Greyhawk Calendar

Our sun, which humans call "Pelor" and which the elven races refer to as "Grandmother" travels about the Oerth in 364 days precisely. We have two moons, the Mistress which is called "Luna" (or "Solune" in Elven) being silver in hue, and the Handmaiden "Celene" (which is the same in both languages) the smaller bluish hued moon. The Handmaiden is full but four times every year, showing us the time for our festivals.
Both moons come into their fullness on the night of Midsummer's Eve, and important events for the Flanaess often begin end, or climax on this night.

The Flan standad week of seven days has the following days:
STARDAY - Work
SUNDAY - Work
MOONDAY - Work
GODSDAY - Worship
WATERDAY - Work
EARTHDAY - Work
FREEDAY - Rest

Each of the 12 months is 28 days long, made up of 4 weeks of 7 days each. Each of the four festivals is 7 days long as well.
