Time Marches On - Measurement of Time and the Calander in Eorzea

[Anonymoose]

The dusty tomes answered many of these questions in a really "you have to read into it, get a pencil" kind of way. However, I did use the knowledge contained within them to author this page once upon a time. Does it leave anything you want to know unanswered?

Name days are unknown as far as I know, and even though there's a mountain of evidence that time locks to the elemental wheel cycling from ice to ice clockwise in the same order the tomes LIST things, there's no direct proof.

Assumptions would be tough. You could assume that they're still named after elements, or the case could be made that the days are named after astral deities and the nights are named after umbrals... but then what of the "weekends?" And why do NPCs keep referring to "sennights" and "fortnights" if these lengths would be eight and sixteen in Eorzea?

FUN FACT:
In the real world our days are named after the seven classically visible celestial bodies

Sun Day
Moon Day
Tyr's Day (Tyr being equal to the god Mars)
Woden's Day (Woden being analagous to Mercury)
Thor's Day (Thor being related to Jupiter through identification with Thunor)
Freja/Frigg's Day (Those two somewhat conflicting but rooted in Venus)
Saturn's Day (Just to give us a break)
