Scadrial calendar (names of months)

[Awesomeness Summoned he/him]

Uranus is an unusual case (no pun intended). It's extreme tilt is due to impacts by large objects that knocked it off kilter. Such impacts are far more likely in the outer planets that are too far away from the sun to sustain life. But your point is well taken... I was taking general solar system physics, treating them as absolutes, and then applying them to a work of fiction (heck, even earth's wobble along the axis is partly due to the large impact that created the moon). I have to attempt to get some use out my pointless science knowledge sometime though.

So the original reason I asked about what we knew about Scadrial's calendar was that I'm going to be running a Mistborn Adventure Game campaign set in the Alloy era, and I always like to be able to include in-world dates. I thought I'd share what I decided on.

 

First off, what we've learned since the thread was started, from the Alloy Chapter 3 Annotation:

There are twelve months, one after each member of the crew, with a few tweaks. (The days of the week have different names too, but we ended up not using any in this book.)

 

And this is what I wound up using:

Months

• Kelsivar
• Maresil
• Vinuarch
• Elenduary
• Tyndwist
• Sazelle
• Brieze
• Hammondust
• Doxil
• Spooktober
• Cladentil
• Marshek

Days of the week

• Vationsday (Preservation's Day)
• Roonsday (Ruin's Day)
• Harmsday (Harmony's Day)
• Sheksday (Rashek's Day)
• Ryversday (Survivor's Day)
• Ireday (Ironeyes's Day)
• Yonday (The God Beyond's Day)

I'd be happy to entertain any better weekday names, or crew-based month names that roll off the tongue better. (Except for Spooktober. Spooktober stays.)

Also: any audiobook people want to clue me in on how to pronounce "Vinuarch"?

Spooktober is the best.

Spooktober 31st: the Spookiest day of the year.
