Draconic Calendar

The Draconic Calendar

Official Chronometric System of the Dragons of Omain

The Draconic Calendar is one of the oldest chronological systems in Omain, predating most humanoid civilizations. Unlike Erulian timekeeping—rooted in religion, holidays, and social ritual—the Draconic system is stark, mathematical, and devoid of ceremony.

Dragons do not celebrate festivals, nor do they mark sentimental dates. Their calendar is a pragmatic tool, designed for:

recording lineage
measuring cosmic shifts
elemental weather cycles
synchronizing inter-clan migrations
tracking hibernation periods

The Draconic year contains 336 days, divided into 12 months of 28 days, each consisting of 4 identical weeks of 7 days.

The Three Draconic Seasons

Dragons divide the year into three great seasons, each representing a long elemental cycle rather than a climatic one.

All season names are derived from ancient Draconic language roots.

Season	Duration	Meaning
1. Fyrhune	Months 1–4	Season of Heat, Fire, and Growth — wyrmlings commonly hatch during this time
2. Skathros	Months 5–8	Season of Shadows, Stillness, and Deep Thought — dragons retreat into contemplation
3. Vargun	Months 9–12	Season of Cold, Hunger, and Vigilance — migration and territorial disputes peak

Unlike mortals, dragons treat seasons as cosmic cycles, not agricultural ones.

The Twelve Draconic Months (28 Days Each)

Each month’s name originates from the ancient Draconic tongue, referencing elemental, cosmic, or ancestral phenomena.

#	Month Name	Pronunciation	Meaning
1	Ignivar	IG-nih-var	“First Flame” — new cycle’s ignition
2	Rhazek	RHAH-zek	“Crackling Ember”
3	Therundal	THEH-run-dahl	“Warming Wind”
4	Solkrath	SOHL-krath	“Peak Heat”
5	Umbrek	UHM-brek	“Deep Shade”
6	Vorthun	VOR-thoon	“Silent Watch”
7	Draelith	DRAY-lith	“Hidden Mind”
8	Kyrval	KEER-val	“Coiled Rest”
9	Frosten	FROST-en	“First Cold”
10	Gravenholt	GRAY-ven-holt	“Stone Hunger”
11	Skarith	SCAH-rith	“Sharp Wind”
12	Nyrgul	NEER-gool	“Last Vigil” — closing of the cycle

All names resonate with draconic philosophy, elemental motifs, and cosmic self-awareness.

The Draconic Week — The Sevenfold Cycle

Dragons recognize a 7-day week, known as the Sarthun, or “Cycle of Seven”.
Each day corresponds to a state of being in draconic existence.

Day #	Name	Pronunciation	Meaning
1	Rathun	RAH-thoon	Day of Strength — physical renewal
2	Velkhar	VEL-khar	Day of Flight — exploration
3	Mystral	MEE-stral	Day of Mind — mental honing
4	Skareth	SKAR-eth	Day of Silence — meditation
5	Thoryn	THOR-in	Day of Fire — practice of breath and elemental mastery
6	Zavrun	ZAV-roon	Day of Hoard — tending to treasure and legacy
7	Ulthrax	OOL-thrax	Day of Vigil — watching territory and horizons

Dragons do not “rest”—even Ulthrax, the closest equivalent, is a day of territorial watch.
