Armanah Calendar (Good start I guess)
CURRENT DATE:
7th of Australum 332 Years since the Ascension of Andrew the Grand (2950 AYS)
15:12:332 ALA
The calendar is based on the size and rotation of the planet Aramnah. It is a lunisolar calendar based both on the planet's orbit around its star, Riberios, and the orbit of its primary satellite,Migori. The standard unit of time is the standard second. All calendars require some form of intercalation.
The Aramnah calendar begins with the New Moon nearest the vernal equinox. Consistently beginning the New Year with the New Moon nearest the vernal equinox will sometimes necessitate adding a 13th month to the calendar. This is because the lunar year is 11 days shorter than the solar year. Adding a 13th month brings the lunar year and the solar year back into alignment. Years containing 13 months are called "embolismic years." These embolismic years fall into the Metonic 19-year cycle.
Months are based on the appearance of the Void moon.[1] At the same time, the holiday of new years must be in the spring. For this reason, years are based on the sun.
One solar (sun-based) year lasts about 365.25 days, but twelve lunar (moon-based) months only last about 354 days. For this reason, the calendar adds an extra lunar month seven times in each cycle of 19 years. This rule makes the average calendar year about the same length as a solar year, 365 days.[3]
The seven-day week is used to figure out the day for Resday. The week does not depend on the solar year or lunar month. Instead, it depends on a count of seven days.
• 60 minutes = 1 hour
• 24 hours = 1 day
• 7 days = 1 week[5]
• 29 or 30 days = 1 month[5]
• 12 months = 1 year average
• 12 months + 1 leap month =embolismic year

In Aurevbush, years are calculated following Andrew the Grand's ascension as "Emperor of Aurevbush", the founding of the first Aurevbushan state. (Which would be at the time of writing, 282 years since the Ascension)
In years Before Andrew's Ascension (BALA) and in many countries outside of Aphoepha, the Ergoumains Standard Calender has been used to calculate the dates and years following "the Arrival of Yeshu" 2923 years prior.
Celebrated on: 1st of Machey, on the vernal equinox. It's a time for renewal, reflection, and setting intentions for the year ahead. Festivities include fireworks, parties, and resolutions.
