The Age of Lost Omens 4708 in the month of Rova
GOLARION’S CALENDAR
Time
Sixty seconds form a minute, sixty minutes create an hour, and twenty-four hours make a day. The people of Golarion measure time much as we do as well, with seven days to a week and twelve 30-day months to a year. Years are marked since the founding of the last great empire by Aroden, the Last Man. Although the empire has collapsed, its calendar remains in use to this day. At the start of the campaign, the date is 4708 A.R. (Absalom Reckoning).
Days of the Week
The days of the week are as follows. Each day has a general purpose that most people follow.
Moonday: Work, religion [night]
Toilday: Work
Wealday: Work
Oathday: Work, pacts signed, oaths sworn
Fireday: Work
Starday: Work
Sunday: Rest, religion
