The calendar of Haylene (specifically the Rhysonian Calendar) is a bit tricky to describe... it does not directly relate to our Julian Calendar where every years has the same number of days. A Rhysonian Calendar consists of two years with 351 days, and every third year having 390 days. This is done so that the months of the calendar always align with the lunar cycles of Io and Titania, which is more important to the Rhysonian Mysteries than the growing season (farmers don't check calendars, but priests do).
However, the months are fairly typical, being locked into the cycles of Titania. All of them start and end with three Market Days, and have three Festival Days precisely in the middle. In addition to these 9 special days, there are three 10 days.
Fekre, which celebrates the Winter Solstice, is different... the Festival of the New Year always begins the day before the solstice. As such, the tendays (which are used primarily by the guilds) are interrupted in a different place every month. Market days are displaced in the same manner as days of the week.
