Era Phoenice
About
The Era Phoenice, commonly abbreviated as E.P. is a calendar utilized in Amtgardia. Beginning with Phoenician reckoning, starting with the founding of the Kingdom of the Burning Lands marks the Era Phoenice 1, (Ex. E.P. 1). While many calendars are shared among the various peoples of Amtgardia, this has become the most utilized after the Georgian calendar. Whilst it is unknown who conceived of the concept of the Era Phoenice calendar, it has established itself within certain circles in Amtgard, most commonly being seen in scribal works.
The duration of a year in Era Phoenice is the same as that of a Solar Year, being approximately 365 days in a cycle. Era Phoenice observes four months of 90 days in length, those being the months of Marching (2/12-5/13,) Sowing (5/14-8/12,) Harvest (8/13-11/10,) and Winter (11/11-2/9.). The remaining balance of days between Winter and Marching are the holy season of Festivus, where there are many feats of Strength and airing of Grievances (which one assumes is the cause for the wars that take place in Marching.)
