Calendar

Gielinorians measure time in years, months, weeks and days. Day is split into even smaller units, the hours, minutes and seconds. Because of the amount of tentacles the elder god Karambwan has, the number 8 has become a divine number.

There are 8 days, which were all named after the elder god Karambwan. It is said that Gielinor was created in 8 days, therefore it became the definition of a week. The days, in order, are: Kar, Ara, Ram, Amb, Bwa, Wan, Karam, and Bwana.

One day lasts for 24 hours. It is often split into three 8 hour cycles, also called "full karambwans", since it goes through all the 8 tentacles. The first full karambwan consists of the first and last 4 hours of the day. It is known as the night, and it is the beginning and the end; it sews the days together. The second full karambwan is called the morning. And the third full karambwan splits into day and evening.

One month lasts for 8 weeks, or 64 days. There are 8 different months, and their names are derived from the names of the days. The months, in order, are: Karmon, Aramon, Rammon, Ambmon, Bwamon, Wanmon, Karammon and Bwanamon and Pokemon.

One year consists of 8 months, or 64 weeks, or 512 days.

It is currently year 65 of the 5th Age.
