Time. It is a nine day week, because, well because there are two suns and they move in the sky around each other, once every nine days, so duh. The names are pretty obvious too.
Brightday, is the day that the yellow sun eclipses the Red sun.
Noday is the day honouring The hidden god,
Dragoday honours the green moon god,
Darkday is the day that the Red sun eclipses the Yellow sun.
Kingsday is a day of rest.
Scoriday is the day of the Yellos Sun god,
Xeriday honours the Blue Moon god and Stomiday honours the red sun god.
Brightday and Darkday are religious days and days of rest for other people.
There are four weeks in a month and there are twelve months in a year.
There are three moons.
The Green moon is associated with the God Dragoth. It is full every 14 days. Dragoth is an evil god and when it is full it is considered to be a bad time to be out and around, under Dragoth's Eye, but then again, people know evil is abound when is out of the sky.
The Blue moon is associated with the God Xeric. It is full every 34 days, close enough to a month of 36. Xeric is the god of nature and the life cycle, he typically is unconcerned about the affairs of mortals. People do know him though as the reaper of souls, but they know it is nothing personal.
The White Moon is associated with the God Hestium. It is full every 108 days, precisely a quarter year. The moon is full at the start and end of each season and it is dark for the mid season times. Hestium is a good god and so there is not a lot of fear about the full moon or the dark. But people are comforted that he can see them, his light often penetrates the day. When the moon is dark, people say he is down in the land doing good work.
Eclipses happen. The Red sun and the Yellow sun eclipse each other once a week. The moons occasionally eclipse one of the suns, but not always. Every year at midsummer the red sun eclipses the yellow and the day never comes and the stars are out during the day. Midwinter, for a week the two suns disappear entirely and well there are lots of minor things that happen through the year.
Which leads us to Astrology! It is real and it is 100% accurate if you are properly trained and have the correct birthdate and birthplace of the subject. You also have to have the training, most people just use magic to correctly figure out their horoscopes.
The first day of the year is the first day of Spring. A year is measured by the movement of the two sisters through the sky, in the summer they are larger and in the winter they are smaller and it gets colder. Some years are warmer and some colder, in a predictable manner.
Elves celebrate a short year and a long year. Which lasts 24 short years long. They are conscious that the younger races use the short year, but understand that that is their way with short lives. Elves typically enter adulthood when they are 4 and live often past 28, some have been known to live past 50.
Solicitor. By the light of the Yellow Sun, Scoria, mother of Laws, set down the rules of the great kingdom of Jarda. The rules were clear and concise and breakers of these laws were to be punished. Everything was clear and beyond reproach, and sterile and unfeeling. A thief who stole was guilty, a thief who stole to feed her children was guilty, the worker who stole from his employer, even though his employer never paid him, was guilty…. It became clear that the law was a harsh mistress and unyielding, people however were not. The Solicitor is the person who argues the extenuating circumstances that need to be taken into consideration before justice is served. While the accused is always guilty of the crime in question, the punishment is not always appropriate. The solicitor is called to explain these extenuating circumstances to the court and the ruler of the land before judgement is laid down. A passionate speech is often the only difference between a light sentence and a harsh one.
