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 Winter, First Summer, Second Winter and Second Summer. The seasons are also known in some parts of the world (notably Ganzabar) as Hail, Blast, Fall and Havenfall 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 67 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 extra days.

First Summer (Blast)

  • January - 31 days
  • February - 28 days (29 on leap year, every 4 calendar years)
  • March - 34 days

First Winter (Hail)

  • April - 31 days
  • May - 31 days
  • June - 33 days

Second Summer (Havenfall)

  • July - 31 days
  • August -> 31 days
  • September -> 33 days

Second Winter (Fall)

  • October -> 31 days
  • November -> 30 days
  • December -> 34 days
