The Months
The months are named for the season they embody, and the part of that season: "-rise" denotes the first month of that season, "-peak" the second month, and "-fall" the third and last month. Though not many folk know this, the months of the year are aligned with the Starry Wisdoms that are ascendant in that month. The Rising Months are associated with the Wisdoms of Destiny, the Peaking Months are associated with the Wisdoms of Fortune, and the Falling Months are associated with Wisdoms of Fate. Each month lasts x weeks.
Winter
The Season of Darkness
- Winterise: The first month of winter. There is some degree of dread that comes with the snows, for there is never any telling who will or will not survive the winter. Those who are often ill or simply weak pass in this month. (Light of Winter)
- Winterpeak: The middle month of winter. By this time, folk have settled into their winter routines, and often work on the things that inspire them or allow them to practice their creativity. (Sage of Fools)
- Festival of Lights (Last Hearthday of Winterpeak): Communities across Rinhony gather up last year's old used candles or make new ones of cast-offs. Families hang lanterns in every window and on great strings across walkways. This is intended to bring joy to the people, reminding them of the light of the rest of the year, and encouraging those whose spirits are flagging in the winter's oppression to bear up, for the winter is nearly done. Since so many folk work on their own creative endeavors during this month, many folk have started giving gifts at this time of year as well.
- Winterfall: The last month of winter. It is during this time of year that the first thaw generally comes, signalling the return of winter. The ewes begin to lactate as well. (Senescence of the Void)
- The Holly Rites (First Thaw of Winterfall): With the first thaw, communities gather the remains of those who passed during the winter. Because there are no flowers or other plants of color during this time save the vibrance of the holly, these tombs are laid with wreaths of holly. The digging of the graves is performed by all of those with the strength to work at the toil in the community, and the others provide them with hot spiced ciders to warm their work.

The Weeks
There are ten days to a week, or an "empyral," as they are known, for there is one day of the week for each of the Empyrean gods. It is customary for worshippers of these gods to stop by a temple or otherwise dedicate some time to their worship on the day of the week that is sacred to their deity.
These days are:
