The calendar of Aevorin is intentionally regular and mechanically convenient. While culturally rich, it exists primarily to support predictable operation, maintenance, and ritual synchronization of the city’s Modi. Time in Aevorin is not only measured — it is managed.
The current year is 1287 A.A. (After Aevorin), counted from the founding of the country of Aevorin.
The year consists of 12 months, each exactly 30 days long.

Noel is the most culturally significant month of the year. While driven by the Noel Modus, its traditions unfold in distinct phases, each with its own symbolism.
The Noel Modus remains active throughout the entire month.
Windows across the city glow with candles, and sheltered candles line streets and public spaces.
These days emphasize:
Warmth in the cold
Quiet anticipation
Light without excess
The city feels calmer, softer, and deliberately restrained.
Households acquire a Noel tree, and public Noel trees appear throughout the city.
These days emphasize:
Shared tradition
Growth during winter
Bringing civic ritual into private life
Markets and public spaces fill with greenery, ornaments, and gentle activity.
Colorful ribbons are worn, exchanged, and tied throughout the city.
Ribbons appear:
In hair and clothing
On doors, rails, and decorations
Incorporated into automaton designs
These days symbolize unity, connection, and visible belonging.
The final week of Noel is dedicated to family, friends, and close bonds.
Most citizens are granted extended free time
Work slows or pauses where possible
Social expectations shift from public cheer to private togetherness
No new traditions are introduced during this period.
Instead, all existing Noel elements remain active, sustained rather than escalated.
