Alfegrian calendar

The Alfegrian calendar was invented by a High Priest in around calendar year 230, however it was not adapted until the 15th century. Its reference date is to the European colonisation of Alfegria. It is not exactly the same as the Gregorian calendar in year length. The Gregorian calendar is actually quite common, and there are groups campaigning to make it official.

Cycle
The new year begins at the end of summer (Aug/Sep) with a feast known as Görjtefista. The year has six 'zones' of near-equal length.
 * The first zone lasts from early Sep to late Oct / early Nov.
 * The second zone lasts from early Nov to late Dec (around Christmas, which is obviously not an official holiday in Alfegria).
 * The third zone lasts from early Jan to early Mar (the winter).
 * The fourth zone lasts from mid-Mar to late Apr. It is the shortest zone.
 * The fifth zone lasts from early May to the end of Jun.
 * The sixth zone lasts from early July to the New Year. This zone corresponds to school holidays.
