Azimuth Calendar
The Azimuth Calendar is an extension of the Gregorian calendar. As the planet revolves around the sun in just over 6 months, there are two winters and summers per year. These are known as First Summer, First Winter, Second Summer and Second Winter. The seasons are also known in some parts of the world (notably Ganzabar) as Blast, Hail, Havenfall and Fall respectively.
As the orbital duration is slightly bigger than 6 months, a total of 12 days are added, 3 to each final month of a season. This also means ones age in Azimuth years is slightly less (or, put another way, an Azimite is slightly older than their age. A 65 Azimuth-year-old is actually 67 in Earth years).
Despite having a much larger diameter, Azimuth's day length is actually very close to Earth's at 24.6 hours. This discrepancy is accounted for in the leap years (and the Azimuth definitions of hours, minutes and seconds, which used a new system).
