Skylock Calendar

Skylock uses the same calendar as the other six realms.

It is made of 4 sections — the seasons Winter, Spring, Summer, Autumn. The new year begins with the first day of Winter. Each section is 14 weeks long, making their year 56 weeks long, or 392 days.

The years are divided by when the Seven Realms were bordered off, becoming 'NC' for New Calendar. 'OW' refers to the Old World.

Sevens Realms Celebrations
The First Day of Winter rings in the New Year, with New Years Eve and New Years Day celebrated across all Seven Realms, all with slightly different traditions.

On the First Day of Spring, the Seven Realms celebrate the New World Festival. Often the biggest party of the year, it is the day everyone celebrates the creation of the Seven Realms, ending hundreds of years of strife.

On the Tenth Day of Autumn, the Seven Realms celebrate the Old World Festival, recalling and thanking their ancestors.

Skylock Celebrations
The Feast of Skylock is celebrated on the Sixth Day of Summer, celebrating the official union of the clans under one crown.

On the Eighty-Third Day of Autumn, Skylock celebrated Alanmas, the birth of the Alan of Rin,the first person to brave the trip to the Isle of Ilona, called there by the Gods and Goddesses, and brought back the name of the sovereign family and the name of the new kingdom, bringing a prophecy of who would bring kindness above all else, peace amongst the clans, and prosperity to the new realm. After the Clan Chiefs did not see them on their return after eighteen days, Alan of Rin was feared dead. On the nineteenth day, Alan of Rin finally returned from the Isle, with the prophecy and the name Skylock on his lips. They told a story of seeing a bright light on the Isle that saved them from nearly being thrown into the rocks. Once on the Isle, that bright light gave the prophecy, all the Gods and Goddesses speaking together through the light. The light then guided Alan of Rin back to the mainland. On the Eve of Alanmas, everyone sleeps in the lightest night clothing they have, recalling the bright light that had saved Alan of Rin. In the morning, people give gifts. The gifts are often of food, flowers, small toys, and clothes, and they try to give one gift in each colour of the eleven groups of Gods and Goddesses (White, Grey, Violet, Pink, Pale Blue, Navy, Yellow, Forest Green Light Green, Light Brown, and Dark Brown). It finishes off with a huge feast, food sent by the Royal Family to all towns to share in.
