Oryndiil

Oryndiil is a world divided by war and different political ideals. Consisting of several mammoth continents, various collections of islands and a frozen southern pole. It hosts a multitude of nations, faiths and cultures, all trying to make their way in an ever modernising world.

Seasons
Oryndiil follows the Casorian Calender which has a three season cycle. Avi is the first, when the sun begins to slowly return closer to Oryndiil, this gives farmers the chance to cultivate the newly thawed land and begin the preparations for the coming year. The second season is Ria, the sun enters its closest brush with Oryndiil and temperatures accelerate to their highest, this is also when crops are harvested and are stored for the next season. The final season is Roh, due to the orbit of the sun, as it falls far from the world the temperature drops rapidly creating almost overnight changes in the weather and bringing on rapid freezing conditions. The tide is regulated by the twin moons.

Dating System
The Casorian dating system is the most widespread system available on Oryndiil, while other cultures and faiths judge the year in their own nations, the Casorian system is regarded as the standard.

The calendaer is divided into millenia, AOCD the world is in the second millennium, they are written using special tags.

Dates are written as such, "1st Ajeun, 1M1." Which is the first day, of the first month of the first year of the first millenium. The Calender recognises all time before Ajeun the Uniter's reign as, "Before uniting." Or BU which goes backwards, without month or millenium specifics. The earliest recorded date for civilization on Oryndiil is 2000 BU. The original date from which the calendar begins is the founding of the Casorian Empire, and not the birth of its founder.

For clarity, an example of how long it has been since the original date is shown like this. 24th Ruay, 2M110 in terms of earth's calendar would be seen as 1110 AD.

Calendar
The Casorian Calender has a calendar of three-hundred and sixty-five days, divided into nine months. The Calender was standardised after the rise of the First Casorian Empire and has been adopted by most nations on Oryndiil, though locals have varients. The months were named for various things including an Emperor, ancient Gods and religious doctrine. The only change made since standardisation was following the playwright Naythinal Leevindaire's work to abolish slavery in the Casorian Empire. This new month of Nayth replaced Werila, which was once named for Ajeun Lockvala's successor, Werille Lockvala, first official Emperor of the Casorian Empire. It was during his reign that the calendar came into existence and the show of vanity has always been a background issue.
