Calendar of Harptos

Most of Faerûn uses the Calendar of Harptos, named after the long-dead wizard who invented it. Few bother to refer to Harptos by name, since the calendar is the only calendar they know.

Each year of 365 days is divided into 12 months of 30 days, and each month is divided into three tendays. Five special days fall between the months. These annual holidays mark the seasons or the changing of the seasons. The months of Faerûn roughly correspond to the months of the Gregorian calendar. We've chosen the following days to represent the bigger Faerun holidays. Shieldmeet is an extra holiday which occurs every four years, coinciding with our leap years. 1392 DR (2024) is a Shieldmeet year.
