Calendar

Cykell uses a fourteen month system to distribute its 461 day calendar, and further splits these into seven day weeks.

Days of the Week
The seven days of the week are as as follows; Horustday, Talladay, Equeday, Hamuday, Christday, Lithiday, and finally Hekruday

Horustday is the first day of the week and was named after the ogre god Horostalk by an unknown ogre scholar and astrologer. The ogre's name is forgotten, as few records were taken by ogres at that time other than the calendar and starcharts itself, but he was the first to craft an accurate calendar. The name has corrupted over the years and changed from its original "Horostday."

Talladay is the second day of the week and was named after the ancient name for nymphs, Tallahassier, over the original ogre name given by the unknown ogre scholar in honor of a massive victory in ancient times that caused many historians to remark that "It was the day of the Tallahassies."

Equeday is the third day of the week and was named after Equestrianism, the skill of horseback riding. In ancient times, animals, especially horses, were extremely important to humans who were just experimenting in husbandry, so when they wrote their own rival calendar they included a day in honor of the horse. The "Day of the Horse" was the only one to survive to the international calendar.

Hamuday is the fourth day of the week and was named in honor of the ogre's favored, and even sacred, weapon; the Warhammer. Extremely important to ogre culture and a weapon that had widespread use, it managed to keep its day. However, the name corrupted from "Hammerday" to "Hamuday" over the centuries due to differences in spelling between ogres and human language.

Christday is the fifth day of the week and was possibly named after Jehxstia, the god of time and space by the Humans. This is the day that they had claimed someone similar to the real world Jesus Christ had step upon Cykell to vanquish the forces of Enelwa during the Battle of Tynreeth.

Lithiday is the sixth day of the week and was named by both the Humans and the Nymphs. This day is the only day that has no dedication to Gods or culture, but instead, made up to celebrate the first meeting of the first human and nymph on Farcheesta.

Hekruday is the last day of the week and was named by the Nymphs after their name for the Underworld. They believed all things should end in Hekr'eus and ended their week accordingly, and the ideology stuck amongst the other races.
