Palenquean Reckoning

The Palenquean Reckoning(PR) is a Calendar of Azeroth Beta mostly used by historians and numerologists in the present time(33500 PR/YooLV 342/ME 3). It dates back to the landing of the Palenquean people on Azeroth Beta, and counts time from that "Year 1". The calendar, as traditionally reconstructed(though each Palenquean city generally had its own calendar or variation) has ten months of around 5 weeks each, and each month, week in a month, and day in a week is given a name. A child born on that uniquely named day was given a name based on that and their order of birth(as child of the male parent). The months are: Morningstar, Sky, Star, Jaguar, Deer, Atl-atl, Wheat, Wind, Maw, and Eveningstar. The weeks are called Seed, Grass, Flower, Tree, and Forest, and the days Ziggurat, Pine, Water, Cloud, Fog, Rain, and Thunder. The "empty days" at the end of every month are considered to be nameless, and it is at these times when practitioners of Palenquean magical traditions believe that the veil is thin between this reality and the spiritual one, and - for good or evil - powerful spells are possible.

Numerology
Though the Palenqueans of the Palenquean civilization historically prided themselves on their atheistic and rationalistic beliefs, the modern Palenqueans(referring to the common folk of the Kingdom of the Northlands who speak Palenquean languages) are often followers of folk spirituality and magick(irrespective of their actual religious affiliation), and practices such as astrology, cartomancy, and numerology are common and often highly valued among them. The science of numerology is especially strong in The Greater Starklands and The Umberlands, where distinct traditions - historically anachronistic as the modern Palenquean calendar is derived from one used in the ancient city that is now Qulloren - have flourished. Each date is said to have a specific meaning(for example 33500 PR Morningstar Seed Thunder, or January 7 would translate into 30000 3000 500 0 0 1 1 7), and a person;s birth date can either synergize with a specific date(via complex formulas that differ depending on the tradition) and create good fortune or clash and create bad fortune. Words - as written in the thirty letters of the now extinct Qullorenite Palenquean alphabet, also have magickal formulas and meanings.
