| Calendar The year is 352 days long. There are eight months of 44 days each. A week has six days. The planet is tilted so that it has seasons. Being near the equator, Aradashe has two seasons: dry and wet. The second half of the wet season is a period of monsoons. Each season is subdivided into two periods based on normal daily and nightly temperatures. The year and first month begin at the southern solstice. The equinoxes and solstices all occur on roughly the first day of a month. |

| The southern solstice is on the first day of Sacheko. The northern solstice is on the first day of Hyocheko. Aradashe has a two-season monsoon climate, with a dry season and wet season. Monthly temperatures do not vary a great deal, but precipitation has greater variation, from fairly dry in the first month, Sacheko, to heavy monsoon rains in Maicheko, the seventh month. The current calendar, developed in the Classical Era, is based on the sun, and the first month begins when the sun reaches its lowest point in the southern sky and begins its climb northward. The dry season lasts from Kicheko, the last month, to Jicheko, the third month of the following year. The sun reaches its lowest point a month after the dry season begins, so the annual calendar does not correspond to the seasons. The wet season begins in the fourth month, Waicheko and ends quite suddenly just before Kicheko. The monsoons hit in the last two months of the wet season. The nightly low temperature corresponds to the precipitation. The warmer months are during the wet season, while the cooler ones are in the dry. However, the average daytime highs begin much earlier in the year. The temperature starts rising in the second month, Chocheko, and begins dropping in the fifth month of Hyocheko, just before the major monsoons hit. The moons, Kedara (yellow), Komede (white), and Sadaso (red) are used to mark time. Komede has a revolution of 44 days, which is the length of a month. Kedara has a revolution of 24 days and a week is one quarter of that period to mark each quarter of its phases. The smallest and farthest moon, Sadaso, has a revolution of 108 days. It is the most mysterious moon, because it is just a point of red light, like a star, and is most associated with odd events like the Week of Relentless Insanity. The Week Daily Time |

| Time (OLD for cross-reference) Calendar The months are:
The moons, Kedara (yellow), Komede (white), and Sadaso (red) are used to mark time. Komede has a revolution of 44 days, which is the length of a month. Kedara has a revolution of 24 days and a week is one quarter of that period to mark each quarter of its phases. The smallest and farthest moon, Sadaso, has a revolution of 108 days. It is the most mysterious moon, because it is just a point of red light, like a star, and is most associated with odd events like the Week of Relentless Insanity. Every 2376 days (six years, six months) the moons have a conjunction. This is a strange and important day in Aradashean life. This is known as the start of the Week of Relentless Insanity. Conjunctions land on the first day of the following months:
Each year begins on the first full Komede after the winter solstice. The Week Daily Time
