The Sirran calendar is based on the movement and appearance of the world's three moons. Each month is 45 days in length, a fact that does not seem out of the ordinary to most scholars.Also referred to as 'Gilden' in some communities. Gold Moon is the first month of the year. During this month Arche is the dominant moon, and appears golden in colour. At the end of the night, when Arche dips below the horizon it is rumoured that you can sometimes see a gold flash. The flash of gold is considered a great boon for luck and inspiration for the year.Also known as 'Rosa' in some communities. Rose Moon is when spring transitions into summer in earnest and the light from Arche's descent transitions from gold, to orange to pink as the month continues and Nyx rises.Also called 'Asher' in some towns. Grey Moon is the first full rise of Nyx in the year. The second half of summer is marked by its long days and dark nights.Known also as 'Sterlen' in some homes. Silver Moon marks the rise of Melete in the skies and the beginning of the autumnal period. Nyx fades away as the sky brightens, casting a silver sheen over the night. It is said that Sterlen is the time of year when lycanthropy becomes contagious, the mischievous Nyx twisting the Silver Moon's influence.'Frosten' to some, Ice Moon is the height of Melete. The light shed over the night towards the end of Frosten signals the coming of the winter.Sometimes called 'Azura', Blue Moon is when Melete falls and Nyx rises. The nights are cold and dark, only to get darker in the coming times. The month of Blue Moon is when most communities celebrate their winter festivals, the joy of being together before the long dark.The second full rise of Nyx, this time at the tail of winter. Sometimes known as 'Spectra', Ghost Moon provides little light at night and this lack of light is the source of many a ghost story about children going missing and other tales of woe. It is also however, when the spring starts to peek in, the days begin to lengthen and some flowers are known as ancestor blooms for their tendency to grow during the month of spectra.Alternatively referred to as 'Trussen', Bond Moon is a time of rejuvenation, promises and commitments. During the month of trussen the descent of Nyx and the Rise of Arche produce a spectacular celestial phenomenon. For one night during the Bond Moon, the pale golden light shed by Arche is eclipsed by Nyx, creating the image of a solid band of gold in the sky. It is traditional to make proposals, resolutions and even sacred oaths on this night, almost always commemorated with a golden ring.
