Rhamic Calendar

The Rhamic Calendar is a calendar invented by Rham's scientists. It centers around the summer and winter solstices, when the sun is in the sky for longer and shorter periods of time, respectively. The calendar has been praised for its incredible accuracy in measuring the solstices and is precedent for the nine day week. As of 244, it has been fully adopted by other civilizations, although the naming of some months have been changed.

The calendar consists of the following months: The calendar follows nine-day weeks. While other cultures have not changed the names of the days, they do not necessarily abide by what the day was named for. The days are:
