#world *** [[Ascelia]] uses a unique calendar system based off of the elements. Unlike most worlds that generate calendars off of a solar cycle (e.g. Gregorian, Julian, Coptic), the Crystallic Calendar is the most accurate in calculating the length of time since it's not reliant on an external force to track track (e.g. a sun). ### Months There are 12 months set up for the year, and are organized based on the presence of the element in [[Ascelia]], primarily based on the [[Elemental Crystal]]s. > [!infobox |wfull] > | Element Month | Month Name | Air | Water | Earth | Fire | Season | Light | Dark | > | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | > | Air | Arieleth | 183% | 133% | 33% | 83% | Early Autumn | 183% | 116% | > | Gravity | Geraleth | 200% | 150% | 16% | 66% | Autumn | 166% | 133% | > | Mist | Hezaleth | 100% | 166% | 116% | 50% | Late Autumn | 150% | 150% | > | Water | Wetaleth | 83% | 183% | 133% | 33% | Early Winter | 133% | 166% | > | Ice | Ieceleth | 66% | 200% | 150% | 16% | Winter | 116% | 183% | > | Plant | Pelaleth | 50% | 100% | 166% | 116% | Late Winter | 100% | 200% | > | Earth | Erealeth | 33% | 83% | 183% | 133% | Early Spring | 116% | 183% | > | Steel | Meteleth | 16% | 66% | 200% | 150% | Spring | 133% | 166% | > | Lava | Levaleth | 116% | 50% | 100% | 166% | Late Spring | 150% | 150% | > | Fire | Ferileth | 133% | 33% | 83% | 183% | Early Summer | 166% | 133% | > | Lightning | Beloleth | 150% | 16% | 66% | 200% | Summer | 183% | 116% | > | Smoke | Someleth | 166% | 116% | 50% | 100% | Later Summer | 200% | 100% | ### Weeks There are 5 weeks per month, each with 6 days. Days are organized based on combat relevance (i.e. attacks are prioritized, buffs/debuffs welcome, healing/defending in emergencies). Days are therefore organized in the following manner: > [!infobox |wfull] > | [[Last Voices]]' Names | Name of the Day | Element Correlation | Combat Effects | > | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | > | [[Azar]] | Azamae | Fire | +20% to physical attacks | > | [[Tirta]] | Tiramae | Water | +20% to magical attacks | > | [[Ori]] | Orimae | Light | +20% to ATB charge | > | [[Rajani]] | Rajamae | Dark | +20% to buff/debuff duration | > | [[Haneul]] | Hanumae | Air | +20% to magical defenses | > | [[Prithvi]] | Privimae | Earth | +20% to physical defenses | ### Date Conversion When adjusting the birth date of a character from one world over to [[Ascelia]], the most effective method is to set percentages and ratios. This conversion ensures that dates between different calendar systems are more similar to the other. Although some calendars require the year from the character's home world to complete calculations, only the resulting month and day are used (a year is normally not assigned since the flow of time between dimensions will always vary). Example: April 4th, 1996 (a Gregorian date) 1) January 1st to April 4th = 95 days 2) 366 days in the year 1996 (i.e. a leap year was present) 3) 95 / 366 = .2596 4) .2596 * 360 = 93.4426 days = 93 days (rounded down) 5) 93 days = Water 3 (30 days per month) 6) April 4th, 1996 = Water 3rd ![[Crystallic Calendar.png]] ### Notes - [ ] ???
