Days of the Week:
Onesday (rest day),
Twosday,
Threesday,
Foursday,
Fivesday,
SixesDay,
SevensDay
Note that most people don't bother to keep track of what day it is.
One reason for this is that the nobility often change the calendar on a whim.
You might go to bed on Twosday and wake up on Foursday.
Likewise, it might be Threesday in one duchy and Fivesday in the next.
In theory, although Onesday is supposed to be a day of rest, in practice, that doesn't happen.
For the common people, the only days that actually change behavior are the festivals.
These days are set by the religious organizations and usually immune to government dictates.
Moons (months):
LowSpring (4 weeks), MidSpring (5 weeks), HighSpring (4 weeks)
LowSummer (4 weeks), MidSummer (5 weeks), HighSummer (4 weeks)
LowAutumn (4 weeks), MidAutumn (5 weeks), HighAutumn (4 weeks)
LowWinter (4 weeks), MidWinter (5 weeks), HighWinter (4 weeks)
A specific day of the year can be identified precisely by moon and week. Note that although this adds up to 52 weeks and 12 moons, the calendar is not perfect. Each season has one or sometimes two extra days. These are added as special festival days that don’t count within the week or moon. That's another reason the common people don't keep track of what day it is - it gets confusing! For example, each year there is a two-day harvest festival that occurs between HighAutumn and LowWinter. There is a corresponding spring festival between HighSpring and LowSummer. The other two seasonal transitions also have festivals, but they are only one day long and less celebrated. The additional extra days of the year are sprinkled around, falling between moon transitions.
Bells (time):
The portions of the day are measured in "bells" that are rung from the primary religious building in each town.
This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.
Bells during the day are rung loudly for all to hear, but muffled at night so as not to upset sleepers.
The first bell is rung at the first ray of the rising sun, so perhaps 6am.
Since there are 24 bells, that would make the 6th bell noon, and the 18th bell midnight.
The actual time between each bell is not very accurate.
For example, right after ringing the 23rd bell, the sun might rise, so it's suddenly first bell again.
Knowing no other system, it's understood - and most people don't mind the lack of precision.
Of course, the priests who ring the bells are disturbed by all of this since they've discovered other mechanisms.
However, since the hours of daylight change depending on the season, now it's too complicated to change.
Local Coinage (other countries have similar systems):
Tin Star: a tiny sliver of metallic tin, unmarked, irregularly shaped, sometimes with points.
Value equal to a small portion of a day’s unskilled labor, perhaps a single bell.
Brass Sun: a small brass coin marked with the sun and radiating rays.
Value equal to a single day’s unskilled labor (10 stars).
Silver Moon: a mid-sized silver coin marked with a crescent moon.
Value is approximately equal to a moon’s unskilled labor (30 suns, 300 stars).
Note that the number of weeks per moon varies from Low / Mid / High moons.
Because of this, a moon coin approximates the average of 30 and ⅓ days.
Gold Harvest : a large gold coin marked with two crossed heads of wheat.
Value equal to a year’s unskilled labor (12 moons, 360 suns, 3600 stars).
Local Naming Customs (other countries are different):
Children's names are chosen from a concept - what the parents want their child to embody.
Typically, this is going to be some virtuous ideal or physical strength.
For example, Grit was named for the ideal of being tough and relentless.
In the case of Progress, Constance was thinking about the opposite virtue of her own name.
Swift ... well, it was a quick birth, and after several stillborn, they were focused on the child's survival.
Only a malicious clown would name a child something awful like Euphemism.
That's why Euphoria is considered a much better name - and what is finally settled on.
