Al-Kanish calendar

The Al-Kanish calendar (named after The great city of Al-Kanish) begins counting years from the moment the city disappeared from the surface of Sahul. This event is known as the Event Horizon. Years before this date are labelled BD (Before the Disappearance). Years after this date are AD (After the Disappearance). Years prior to the year 1 BE count down, getting smaller as they get closer to the time of the Event Horizon (just as they do in the Gregorian calendar).

During the longest day of the season of the goat people cool off by celebrating Wurian day. Durring this day people celebrate the glory of the sun and of the high god Tenno. The year always end on the longest night of the season of the crab. This night is celebrated through the festival called the night of the crescent. On this festival the goddess Jaci is thanked for the good fortunes and love she bestowed during the past year.

There are 4 seasons and 372 days in the Al-Kanish year.
