TIME Type: Info Syntay: Time Description: This command will show the current "estimated" time information. The information used in our game is the so called "King's Reckoning" which is based on the original calendar used in Númenor. The Calendar of Númenor instead of beginning the year with spring, is reckoned from mid-winter. Eventually is the first calendar having a seventh day added to the week, and reckoned days from sunrise to sunrise. This King's Reckoning was used down until the end of the line of kings in Gondor. The names are based on "Quenya". To be noted here is the fact that the Dúnedain in the North used "Sindarin" month names: King's Reckoning Sindarin name Modern Month(approximated) -------------------------------------------- Narvinyë Narwain January Nénimë Nínui February Súlimë Gwaeron March Víressë Gwirith April Lótessë Lothron May Nárië Nórui June Cermië Cerveth July Urimë Urui August Yavannië Ivanneth September Narquelië Narbeleth October Hísimë Hithui November Ringarë Girithron December The Eldar initially used a six-day week, the Men of Númenor added a seventh day: Eärenya (Oraearon), "Sea-day," between Menelya and Valanya which is also known as Tárion.
