06-30-04, 12:58 PM According to the section on the Galifar Calender, the year is divided into twelve months, each with four weeks.

This means there are 48 weeks in a year, rather than Earth's 52-and-a-bit of earth's calender.
It also means there are 336 days in a Galifar year.

This raises some interesting points. Every 13 Galifar years is the same as 12 Earth years. Meaning that a 65 year old man in Khorvaire is equivalent to a 60 year old from Earth. People are younger than thier ages would suggest to those used to longer Earth years.

Also, this sort of calender would imply that each day of the year is always the same day of the week each year.

Of course "Four weeks a month" could also be interpreted as being like earth's normal "Four and a third weeks a month" months.

Thoughts?

06-30-04, 04:26 PM well im interested in getting this figured out cause im currenly dreaming up a .net Application that will be a Galifar calendar that will allow you to input journal entries and perhaps make this a Asp.net app. I want to also figure out a way to include the tracking of the seasons and the Planar weather IE when a plane is close to eberron how close or how far it is away based on the current date. I think there is enough information in the ECS to figure this out and it would be a good tool for a DM but, will take me alot of time. I am not much of a programmer yet and havnt written too many programs other than an ok dice roller.

I have done something similar to this using php and mySQL
currently there is only one entry as we have yet to start the campaign but you can check it out at
http://eberron.dragonfear.org/calendar/

I'm still working on seeing if i can get it to calculate the planar events, but adding seasons would be easy to add as events.

PM me and I'd be happy to send you a copy of the coding I used for it.
