Safeholdian Calendar

The Safeholdian Calendar was created by the administrators of Operation Ark to fit the natural cycles of the planet Safehold into a system useful to humans.

Years
The Safeholdian year was 301.32 local days in length. It was divided into ten months:


 * 1) February
 * 2) March
 * 3) April
 * 4) May
 * 5) June
 * 6) July
 * 7) August
 * 8) September
 * 9) October
 * 10) November

Every third year was a leap year, where an extra day way inserted into the middle of February to compensate for the .32 day shift. This day was called "Langhorne's Memorial." 

Months
Each month was divided into six "five-days," the Safeholdian equivalent of a week, and was thus 30 days long. An extra day, called "God's Day," was inserted into the middle of July, but not numbered along with the others. 

Five-days
Each five-day was five days long (hence the name):


 * 1) Monday
 * 2) Tuesday
 * 3) Wednesday
 * 4) Thursday
 * 5) Friday

Due to the regularity of the Safeholdian calendar, the first day of the month was always a Monday, and the last was always a Friday. 

Days
The Safeholdian day was 26 standard hours and 31 standard minutes long. The 31 extra minutes were put at the time before midnight, and called "Langhorne's Watch." 

Equinox & Solstice
The Safeholdian equinoxes occur on April 23 and September 22, and the solstices fall on July 7 and February 8. (BHD)
