==Months of the Year==
The Tamrielic calendar is composed of twelve distinct months (sometimes called "Seasons"{{ref|name=TF|{{Cite book|The Firmament}}}}), each approximately thirty days in length. Each month has an associated [[Lore:Astronomy#Constellations|constellation]], which is said to affect the traits of anyone born in that month, and each month corresponds roughly to an equal period of time in the Gregorian calendar. The months — and their real-life equivalents — are measured as follows:
{| class=wikitable style="text-align:center"
! Name of<br>Month
! Birthsign{{ref|name=TF}}
! Gregorian<br>Equivalent
! Days<br>''Arena, Daggerfall''
! Days<br>''Morrowind''
! Days<br>''Oblivion, Skyrim''
! Days<br>''Gregorian''

<nowiki>*</nowiki> {{Small|These three months are variously referred to as one word or two words.}}<br>
§ {{Small|Hearthfire is occasionally referred to as Heartfire, the name given to said month in TES:Arena. In Skyrim, "Heart Fire" is used exclusively on the game calendar, although it appears as "Hearth Fire" (as one or two words) in some books.}}<br>
† {{Small|Morning Star was not present in Morrowind, most likely omitted by accident.}}<br>
‡ {{Small|Except on a leap-year, when it's 29.}}
Note that the constellation of The Serpent does not correspond to any one month, because The Serpent wanders randomly around the sky.
==Days of the Week==
A week in the Tamrielic calendar is also, as with the real-life equivalent, measured in seven days. In order, the days are:
{| class=wikitable style="text-align:center"
!Tamrielic
!Gregorian
|-
|Sundas||Sunday
|-
|Morndas||Monday
|-
|Tirdas||Tuesday
|-
|Middas||Wednesday
|-
|Turdas||Thursday
|-
|Fredas||Friday
|-
|Loredas||Saturday
|}
The names of the days Tirdas, Turdas, Fredas and Loredas may be derived from the Norwegian, Danish or Swedish names for days of the week: Tirsdag/Tisdag, Torsdag, Fredag and Lørdag/Lördag, (Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday).
==Arena Calendar==
This calendar was included with [[Arena:Arena|Arena]]. It is not accurate to that game, since Arena had 30-day months, but rather it is a Tamriel-ified version of the actual 1993 calendar, which was the year the game came out.

The actual Arena calendar in the game, however, had 30-day months, and at random you would start the game on Tirdas, either on the first of Morning Star or the first of Heart Fire, even though the days of the week could not line up in such a way that both these days are on a Tirdas in the same year.
==Daggerfall Calendar==
Daggerfall's calendar was somewhat different, in that each month had 30 days, and always started on a Sundas. This is what it looks like:

==Skyrim Calendar==
The [[Lore:Fourth Era|Fourth Era]] of Tamriel counts its first day as the day of [[Lore:Martin Septim|Martin Septim]]'s sacrifice to end the Oblivion Crisis. It is unclear as to whether this marks the final day of the [[Lore:Third Era|Third Era]], or the first day of the Fourth Era.
Unlike in Arena and in Daggerfall, no holidays were specifically given. As such this is simply the in game calendar used with Skyrim. Note that while the game will usually start with your first day, the 17th of Last Seed, as Sundas, if you had a game loaded prior to starting your new game, the day of the week will instead be whatever it was in the game that was previously loaded.

==Holidays==
===Morning Star===
====New Life Festival====
*Morning Star 1<sup>st</sup>
Today the people of <var>provinceName</var> are having the New Life Festival in celebration of a new year. The Emperor has ordered yet another tax increase in his New Life Address, and there is much grumbling about this. Still, despite financial difficulties, the New Life tradition of free ale at all the taverns in the cities continues. The people of <var>provinceName</var> certainly know how to hold a celebration. In [[Daggerfall:Daggerfall|Daggerfall]], this is the Summoning Day for [[Lore:Clavicus Vile|Clavicus Vile]].
====Scour Day====
*Morning Star 2<sup>nd</sup>

*Morning Star 12<sup>th</sup>
Ovank'a is the day the people of the [[Lore:Alik'r|Alik'r Desert]] offer prayers to [[Lore:Stendarr|Stendarr]] in the hopes of a mild and merciful year. It is considered very holy.

====Day of Lights====
*Morning Star 16<sup>th</sup>
The Day of Lights is celebrated as a holy day by most villages in [[Lore:Hammerfell|Hammerfell]] on the [[Lore:Iliac Bay|Iliac Bay]]. It is a prayer for a good farming and fishing year, and is taken very seriously.

====Waking Day====
*Morning Star 18<sup>th</sup>
The people in [[Lore:Yeorth Burrowland|Yeorth Burrowland]] invented Waking Day in prehistoric times to wake the spirits of nature after a long, cold winter. It has evolved into a sort of orgiastic celebration of the end of winter.
----
===Sun's Dawn===
====Mad Pelagius====
*Sun's Dawn 2<sup>nd</sup>
Mad Pelagius is a silly little tradition in [[Lore:High Rock|High Rock]] in a mock memorial to [[Lore:Pelagius Septim III|Pelagius Septim III]], one of the maddest emperors in recent history. He died about 350 years ago, so the [[Lore:Septim Dynasty|Septims]] since have taken it with good humor.

====Othroktide====
*Sun's Dawn 5<sup>th</sup>
The people of [[Daggerfall:Dwynnen|Dwynnen]] have a huge party to celebrate Othroktide, the day when [[Lore:Othrok|Baron Othrok]] took Dwynnen from the undead forces who claimed it in the [[Lore:Battle of Wightmoor|Battle of Wightmoor]].
====Day of Release====
*Sun's Dawn 8<sup>th</sup>

*Sun's Dawn 13<sup>th</sup>
Celebrated in the Skyrim city of [[Lore:Windhelm|Windhelm]]. During the feast, the names of the Five Hundred Companions of [[Lore:Ysgramor|Ysgramor]] are recited.{{Ref|{{Cite book|PGE|1|Skyrim}}}}
====Heart's Day====
*Sun's Dawn 16<sup>th</sup>
Today is the 16<sup>th</sup> of Sun's Dawn, a holiday celebrated all over Tamriel as Heart's Day. It seems that in every house, the Legend of the Lovers is being sung for the younger generation. In honor of these Lovers, Polydor and Eloisa, the inns of the city offer a free room for visitors. If such kindness had been given the Lovers, it is said, it would always be springtime in the world. In Daggerfall, this is the Summoning Day for [[Lore:Sanguine|Sanguine]].
====Perserverance Day====
*Sun's Dawn 27<sup>th</sup>
{{sic|Perserverance|Perseverance}} Day is quite a party in [[Lore:Ykalon|Ykalon]]. It was originally held as a solemn memorial to those killed in battle while resisting the [[Lore:Camoran Usurper|Camoran Usurper]], but has since become a boisterous festival.
====Aduros Nau====
*Sun's Dawn 28<sup>th</sup>
The villages in the Bantha celebrate the baser urges that come with Springtide on Aduros Nau. The traditions vary from village to village, but none of them are for the overly virtuous.
----
===First Seed===
====Hermaeus Mora's Summoning day====
*First Seed 5<sup>th</sup>
In [[Daggerfall:Daggerfall|Daggerfall]], this is the Summoning Day for [[Lore:Hermaeus Mora|Hermaeus Mora]].
====First Planting====
*First Seed 7<sup>th</sup>
On the 7<sup>th</sup> of First Seed every year, the people of <var>provinceName</var> celebrate First Planting, symbolically sowing the seeds for the autumn harvest.

The clerics at the temples run a free clinic all day long to cure people of poisoning, different diseases, paralysis, and the other banes found in the world of Tamriel.
====Day of Waiting====
*First Seed 9<sup>th</sup>
The Day of Waiting is a very old holy day among certain settlements in the [[Lore:Dragontail Mountains|Dragontail Mountains]]. Every year at that time, a dragon is supposed to come out of the desert and devour the wicked, so everyone locks themselves up inside.

====Flower Day====
*First Seed 25<sup>th</sup>

During the Festival of Blades, the people of the [[Lore:Alik'r|Alik'r Desert]] celebrate the victor of the first [[Lore:Redguard|Redguard]] over a race of giant goblins. The story is considered a myth by most scholars, but the holiday is still very popular in the desert.
----
===Rain's Hand===
====Gardtide====
*Rain's Hand 1<sup>st</sup>

*Rain's Hand 9<sup>th</sup>
In [[Daggerfall:Daggerfall|Daggerfall]], this is the Summoning Day for [[Lore:Peryite|Peryite]].
====Day of the Dead====
*Rain's Hand 13<sup>th</sup>
The Day of the Dead is one of the more peculiar holidays of [[Lore:Daggerfall|Daggerfall]]. The superstitious say that the dead rise on this holiday to wreak vengeance on the living. It is a fact that [[Lore:Lysandus|King Lysandus']] spectre began its haunting on the Day of the Dead, 3E 404.
====Day of Shame====
*Rain's Hand 20<sup>th</sup>
All along the seaside of [[Lore:Hammerfell|Hammerfell]], no one leaves their houses on the Day of Shame. It is said that the Crimson Ship, a vessel filled with victims of the Knahaten Plague who were refused refuge hundreds of years ago, will return on this day.
====Jester's Day====
*Rain's Hand 28<sup>th</sup>
Be warned that today is Jester's Day in the city of <var>provinceName</var>, and pranks are being set up from one end of town to the other. It is as if a spell has been cast over the community, for even the most taciturn and dignified councilman might attempt to play a joke on his <var>relative</var>. The Thieves Guild finds particular attention as everyone looks for pickpockets in particular.
----
===Second Seed===
====Second Planting====
*Second Seed 7<sup>th</sup>
The celebration of Second Planting is in full glory this day. It is a holiday with traditions similar to First Planting, improvements on the first seeding symbolically to suggest improvements on the soul. The free clinics of the temples are open for the second and last time this year, offering cures for those suffering from any kind of disease or affliction. Because peace and not conflict is stressed at this time, battle injuries are healed only at full price.
====Marukh's Day====
*Second Seed 9<sup>th</sup>
Marukh's Day is only observed by certain communities in Skeffington Wood. By comparing themselves to the virtuous prophet [[Lore:Marukh|Marukh]], the people of Skeffington Wood pray for the strength to resist temptation. In [[Daggerfall:Daggerfall|Daggerfall]], this is the Summoning Day for [[Lore:Namira|Namira]].
====Fire Festival====
*Second Seed 20<sup>th</sup>
The Fire Festival in [[Lore:Northmoor|Northmoor]] is one of the most attended celebrations in [[Lore:High Rock|High Rock]]. It began as a pompous display of magic and military strength in ancient days and has become quite a festival.
====Fishing Day====
*Second Seed 30<sup>th</sup>
Fishing Day is a big celebration for the [[Lore:Breton|Bretons]] who live off the bounty of the [[Lore:Iliac Bay|Iliac Bay]]. They are not a usually flamboyant people, but on Fishing Day, they make so much noise, fish have been scared away for weeks.
----
===Mid Year===
====Drigh R'Zimb====
*Mid Year 1<sup>st</sup>
The festival of Drigh R'Zimb, held in the hottest time of year in [[Lore:Abibon-Gora|Abibon-Gora]], is a jubilation held for the sun Daibethe itself. Scholars do not know how long Drigh R'Zimb has been held, but it is possible the [[Lore:Redguard|Redguards]] brought the festival with them when they came in the first era.
====Hircine's Summoning Day====
*Mid Year 5<sup>th</sup>
In [[Daggerfall:Daggerfall|Daggerfall]], this is the Summoning Day for [[Lore:Hircine|Hircine]].
====Mid Year Celebration====
*Mid Year 16<sup>th</sup>
Today is the 16<sup>th</sup> of Mid Year, the traditional day for the Mid Year Celebration. Perhaps to alleviate the annual news of the Emperor's latest tax increase, the cities temples offer blessings for only half the donation they usually suggest. Many so blessed feel confident enough to enter the (dangerous) dungeons when they are not fully prepared, so this joyous festival has often been known to turn suddenly into a day of defeat and tragedy.
====Dancing Day====
*Mid Year 23<sup>rd</sup>
Dancing Day is a time-honored holiday in [[Lore:Daggerfall|Daggerfall]]. Who started it is questionable, but the Red Prince Atryck popularized it in the second era. It is an occasion of great pomp and merriment for all the people of Daggerfall, from the nobles down.
====Tibedetha====
*Mid Year 24<sup>th</sup>
Tibedetha is middle Tamrielic for "Tibers Day." It is not surprising that the lorddom of [[Lore:Alcaire|Alcaire]] celebrates its most famous native with a great party. Historically, [[Lore:Tiber Septim|Tiber Septim]] never returned once to his beloved birthplace.
----
===Sun's Height===
====Merchants Festival====
*Sun's Height 10<sup>th</sup>
The bargain shoppers of the known world are out in force today and it is little wonder, for the 10<sup>th</sup> of Sun's Height is a holiday called the Merchants' Festival. Every marketplace and equipment store has dropped their prices to at least half. The only shop not being patronized today is the Mages Guild, where prices are as exorbitant as usual. Most citizens in need of a magical item are waiting two months for the celebration of Tales and Tallows when prices will be more reasonable... In [[Daggerfall:Daggerfall|Daggerfall]], this is the Summoning day for [[Lore:Vaernima|Vaernima]].
====Divad Etep't====
*Sun's Height 12<sup>th</sup>
During Divat Etep't, the people of [[Daggerfall:Antiphyllos|Antiphyllos]] mourn the death of one of the greatest of the early [[Lore:Redguard|Redguard]] heroes, Divat, son of Frandar of the Hel Ansei. His deeds are questioned by historians, but his tomb in Antiphyllos is almost certainly genuine.
====Sun's Rest====
*Sun's Height 20<sup>th</sup>
You will have to wait until tomorrow if you are planning on making any equipment purchases, for all stores are closed in observance of Sun's Rest. Of course, the temples, taverns, and Mages Guild in the (city) are still open their regular hours, but most citizens chose to devote this day to relaxation, not commerce or prayer. This is not a convenient arrangement for all, but the Merchants' Guild heavily fines any shop that stays open, so everyone complies.
====Fiery Night====
*Sun's Height 29<sup>th</sup>
Few besides the natives of the [[Lore:Alik'r|Alik'r Desert]] would venture out on the hottest day of the year, Fiery Night. It's a lively celebration with a meaning lost in antiquity.
----
===Last Seed===
====Maiden Katrica====
*Last Seed 2<sup>nd</sup>
On the day of Maiden Katrica, the people of [[Lore:Ayasofya|Ayasofya]] show their appreciation for the warrior that saved their county with the biggest party of the year.
====Koomu Alezer'i====
*Last Seed 11<sup>th</sup>
Koomu Alezer'i means simply "We Acknowledge" in old [[Lore:Redguard|Redguard]], and it has been a tradition in [[Lore:Sentinel (kingdom)|Sentinel]] for thousands of years. No matter the harvest, the people of Sentinel solemnly thank the gods for their bounty, and pray to be worthy of the graces of the gods.
====Feast of the Tiger====
*Last Seed 14<sup>th</sup>
The Feast of the Tiger in the Bantha rainforest is like other holidays in praise of a bountiful harvest. It is not, however, a solemn occasion for introspection and thanksgiving, but a great celebration and festival from village to village.
====Appreciation Day====
*Last Seed 21<sup>st</sup>
Appreciation Day in Anticlere is an ancient holiday of thanksgiving for a bountiful harvest for the people of [[Lore:Anticlere|Anticlere]]. It is considered a holy and contemplative day, devoted to [[Lore:Mara|Mara]], the goddess-protector of Anticlere.
====Harvest's End====
*Last Seed 27<sup>th</sup>
Perhaps no other festival fires the spirit of <var>cityName</var> as much as the one held today, Harvest's End. The work of the year is over, the seeding, sowing, and reaping. Now is the time to celebrate and enjoy the fruits of the harvest, and even visitors to <var>regionName</var> are invited to join the farmers. The taverns offer free drinks all day long, an extravagance before the economy of the coming winter months. Underfed farm hands gorging themselves and then getting sick in the town square are the most common sights of the celebration of Harvest's End.
This day in 3E 433 marked the beginning of the [[Lore:Oblivion Crisis|Oblivion Crisis]].
----
===Hearth Fire===
====Tales and Tallows====
*Hearth Fire 3<sup>rd</sup>
No other holiday divides the people of <var>cityName</var> like the 3rd of Hearth Fire. A few of the oldest, more superstitious men and women do not speak all day long for fear that the evil spirits of the dead will enter their bodies. Most citizens enjoy the holiday, calling it Tales and Tallows, but even the most lighthearted avoid the dark streets of <var>cityName</var>, for everyone knows the dead do walk tonight. Only the [[Lore:Mages Guild|Mages Guild]] completely thrives on this day. In celebration of the oldest magical science, necromancy, all magical items are half price today. ''NOTE: A number of in game sources say this is the day one may summon Nocturnal, but that is actually the 8<sup>th</sup> — see below.''
====Khurat====
*Hearth Fire 6<sup>th</sup>
Every town and fellowship in the [[Lore:Wrothgarian Mountains|Wrothgarian Mountains]] celebrates Khurat, the day when the finest young scholars are accepted into the various priesthoods. Even those people without children of age go to pray for the wisdom and benevolence of the clergy.
====Nocturnal's Summoning Day====
*Hearth Fire 8<sup>th</sup>
In [[Daggerfall:Daggerfall|Daggerfall]], this is the Summoning Day for [[Lore:Nocturnal|Nocturnal]].
====Riglametha====
*Hearth Fire 12<sup>th</sup>
Riglametha is celebrated on the twelfth of Hearth Fire every year in [[Lore:Lainlyn (barony)|Lainlyn]] as a celebration of Lainlyns many blessings. Pageants are held on such themes as the Ghraewaj, when the daedra worshippers in Lainlyn were changed to harpies for their blasphemy.
====Children's Day====
*Hearth Fire 19<sup>th</sup>
Children's Day in [[Lore:Betony|Betony]] is a festive occasion with a grim history. All know though few choose to recall that Children's Day began as a memorial to the dozens of children in Betony who were stolen from their homes by vampires one night never to be seen again. This happened over a hundred years ago, and the holiday has since become a celebration of youth.
----
===Frost Fall===
====Dirij Tereur====
*Frost Fall 5<sup>th</sup>
The fifth of Frost Fall marks Dirij Tereur for the people of the [[Lore:Alik'r|Alik'r Desert]]. It is a sacred day honoring Frandar Hund, the traditional spiritual leader of the [[Lore:Redguard|Redguards]] who led them to [[Lore:Hammerfell|Hammerfell]] in the first era. Stories are read from Hund's Book of Circles, and the temples in the region are filled to capacity.
====Malacath's Summoning Day====
*Frost Fall 8<sup>th</sup>
In [[Daggerfall:Daggerfall|Daggerfall]], this is the Summoning Day for [[Lore:Malacath|Malacath]].
====Witches Festival====
*Frostfall 13<sup>th</sup>
Today is the 13<sup>th</sup> of Frostfall, known throughout Tamriel as the Witches' Festival when the forces of sorcery and religion clash. The [[Lore:Mages Guild|Mages Guild]] gets most of the business since weapons and items are evaluated for their mystic potential free of charge and magic spells are one half their usual price. Demonologists, conjurors, lamias, warlocks, and thaumaturgists meet in the wilderness outside (the city), and the creatures created or summoned there may plague Tamriel for eons. Most wise men choose not to wander this night. In [[Daggerfall:Daggerfall|Daggerfall]], this is the Summoning Day for [[Lore:Mephala|Mephala]].
====Broken Diamonds====
*Frost Fall 23<sup>rd</sup>
On the 23<sup>rd</sup> of Frost Fall in the 121st year of the third era, the empress [[Lore:Kintyra II|Kintyra Septim II]] met her death in the imperial dungeons in [[Lore:Glenpoint|Glenpoint]] on the orders of her cousin and usurper [[Lore:Uriel Septim III|Uriel III]]. Her death is remembered in Glenpoint as the day called Broken Diamonds. It is a day of silent prayer for the wisdom and benevolence of the imperial family of Tamriel. [''Editor's note: It is Uriel III who killed Kintyra, not [[Lore:Cephorus|Cephorus]]. This is a scribe's error in [[Daggerfall:Daggerfall|Daggerfall]]''].
====Emperor's Day====
*Frostfall 30<sup>th</sup>
Once the 30<sup>th</sup> of Frostfall, the Emperor's Birthday, was the most popular holiday of the year. Great traveling carnivals entertained the masses, while the aristocracy of <var>cityName</var> enjoyed the annual Goblin Chase on horseback. Recently, these traditions have fallen into neglect. It has been decades since there was a big carnival in <var>cityName</var> and longer still since a <var>regentTitle</var> of the <var>cityName</var> sponsered a Goblin Chase.
In 4E 171, the [[Lore:Great War|Great War]] began on this day when then-Emperor [[Lore:Titus Mede II|Titus Mede II]] rejected a [[Lore:Thalmor|Thalmor]] ultimatum.
----
===Sun's Dusk===
====Gauntlet====
*Sun's Dusk 2<sup>nd</sup>
In [[Daggerfall:Daggerfall|Daggerfall]], this is the Summoning Day for [[Lore:Boethiah|Boethiah]].
====Serpent's Dance====
*Sun's Dusk 3<sup>rd</sup>
The Serpents Dance in [[Lore:Satakalaam (county)|Satakalaam]] may or may not have begun as a serious religious holiday dedicated to a snake god, but in this day, it is a reason for a great street festival.
====Moon Festival====
*Sun's Dusk 8<sup>th</sup>
On the 8<sup>th</sup> of Sun's Dusk, the [[Lore:Breton|Bretons]] of [[Lore:Glenumbra Moors|Glenumbra Moors]] hold the Moon Festival, a joyous holiday in honor of [[Lore:Secunda|Secunda]], goddess of the moon. Although the goddess has no active worshippers, the traditional celebration has continued through the ages as a time of feasting and merriment.
====Hel Anseilak====
*Sun's Dusk 18<sup>th</sup>
Hel Anseilak, which means "Communion with the Saints of the Sword" in Old [[Lore:Redguard|Redguard]] is the most serious of holy days for the people of [[Lore:Pothago|Pothago]]. The ancient way of Hel Ansei is never practiced by modern Redguards, but its rich heritage is remembered and honored on this day.
====Warriors Festival====
*Sun's Dusk 20<sup>th</sup>
Today is the 20<sup>th</sup> of Sun's Dusk, the Warriors Festival in ''cityName''. Most all the local warriors, spellswords, and rogues come to the equipment stores and blacksmiths where all weapons are half price. Unfortunately, the low prices also tempt many an untrained boy to buy his first sword and the normally quiet ''cityName'' streets ring with amateur skirmishes. The ''regentTitle'' has pardoned most of these ruffians in the past, but has promised to be less merciful this year. In Daggerfall, this is the Summoning Day for [[Lore:Mehrunes Dagon|Mehrunes Dagon]].
----
===Evening Star===
====North Winds Prayer====
*Evening Star 15<sup>th</sup>
Today is the 15<sup>th</sup> of Evening Star, a holiday reverently observed by the temples as North Wind's Prayer. It is a thanksgiving to the Gods for a good harvest and a mild winter. Some years, like this one, the harvest was not particularly good and the winter unseasonally harsh in <var>provinceName</var>, but as the <var>regentTitle</var> is fond of saying, "It could be much worse." The temples offer all their services blessing, curing, healing for half the donation usually requested.
====Baranth Do====
*Evening Star 18<sup>th</sup>
Baranth Do is celebrated on the 18<sup>th</sup> of Evening Star by the Redguards of the Alik'r Desert. Its meaning is "Goodbye to the Beast of Last Year." Pageants featuring demonic representations of the old year are popular, and revelry to honor the new year is everywhere.
====Chil'a====
*Evening Star 20<sup>th</sup> (1)
*Evening Star 24<sup>th</sup> (2)
#Chil'a, the blessing of the new year in the barony of Kairou, is both a sacred day and a festival. The archpriest and the baroness each consecrate the ashes of the old year in solemn ceremony, then street parades, balls, and tournaments conclude the event. In Daggerfall, this is the Summoning Day for Molag Bal.
#Local [[Lore:Iliac Bay|Iliac Bay]] New Year's festival on the 24th of Evening Star. It was probably moved from its original date to correspond with the notion of the year defined in [[Lore:Tamriel|Tamriel]].
====Saturalia====
*Evening Star 25<sup>th</sup>
The New Life festival comes a few days early in Wayrest with Saturalia, traditionally held on the 25<sup>th</sup> of Evening Star. Originally a holiday for a long forgotten god of debauchery, it has become a time of gift giving, parties, and parading. Visitors are encouraged to participate.
====Old Life Festival====
*Evening Star 30<sup>th</sup>/31<sup>st</sup>
On the last day of the year the Empire celebrates the holiday called Old Life. Many go to the temples to reflect on their past. Some go for more than this, for it is rumored that priests will as the last act of the year perform resurrections on beloved friends and family members free of the usual charge. Worshippers know better than to expect this philanthropy, but they arrive in a macabre procession with the recently deceased nevertheless. When ale flows free in all the taverns in all the cities of Tamriel.

==Months of the Year==
The Tamrielic calendar is composed of twelve distinct months (sometimes called "Seasons"{{ref|name=TF|{{Cite book|The Firmament}}}}), each approximately thirty days in length. Each month has an associated [[Lore:Astronomy#Constellations|constellation]], which is said to affect the traits of anyone born in that month, and each month corresponds roughly to an equal period of time in the Gregorian calendar. The months — and their real-life equivalents — are measured as follows:
{| class=wikitable style="text-align:center"
! Name of<br>Month
! Birthsign{{ref|name=TF}}
! Gregorian<br>Equivalent
! Days<br>''Arena, Daggerfall''
! Days<br>''Morrowind''
! Days<br>''Oblivion, Skyrim''

§ {{Small|Hearthfire is occasionally referred to as Heartfire, the name given to said month in TES:Arena. In Skyrim, "Heart Fire" is used exclusively on the game calendar, although it appears as "Hearth Fire" (as one or two words) in some books.}}<br>
† {{Small|Morning Star was not present in Morrowind, most likely omitted by accident.}}<br>
‡ {{Small|Except on a leap-year, when it's 29.}}
Note that the constellation of The Serpent does not correspond to any one month, because The Serpent wanders randomly around the sky.
==Days of the Week==
A week in the Tamrielic calendar is also, as with the real-life equivalent, measured in seven days. In order, the days are:
{| class=wikitable style="text-align:center"
!Tamrielic
!Gregorian
|-
|Sundas||Sunday
|-
|Morndas||Monday
|-
|Tirdas||Tuesday
|-
|Middas||Wednesday
|-
|Turdas||Thursday
|-
|Fredas||Friday
|-
|Loredas||Saturday
|}
The names of the days Tirdas, Turdas, Fredas and Loredas may be derived from the Norwegian, Danish or Swedish names for days of the week: Tirsdag/Tisdag, Torsdag, Fredag and Lørdag/Lördag, (Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday).
==Arena Calendar==
This calendar was included with [[Arena:Arena|Arena]]. It is not accurate to that game, since Arena had 30-day months, but rather it is a Tamriel-ified version of the actual 1993 calendar, which was the year the game came out.

The actual Arena calendar in the game, however, had 30-day months, and at random you would start the game on Tirdas, either on the first of Morning Star or the first of Heart Fire, even though the days of the week could not line up in such a way that both these days are on a Tirdas in the same year.
==Daggerfall Calendar==
Daggerfall's calendar was somewhat different, in that each month had 30 days, and always started on a Sundas. This is what it looks like:

==Skyrim Calendar==
The [[Lore:Fourth Era|Fourth Era]] of Tamriel counts its first day as the day of [[Lore:Martin Septim|Martin Septim]]'s sacrifice to end the Oblivion Crisis. It is unclear as to whether this marks the final day of the [[Lore:Third Era|Third Era]], or the first day of the Fourth Era.
Unlike in Arena and in Daggerfall, no holidays were specifically given. As such this is simply the in game calendar used with Skyrim. Note that while the game will usually start with your first day, the 17th of Last Seed, as Sundas, if you had a game loaded prior to starting your new game, the day of the week will instead be whatever it was in the game that was previously loaded.

==Holidays==
===Morning Star===
====New Life Festival====
*Morning Star 1<sup>st</sup>
Today the people of <var>provinceName</var> are having the New Life Festival in celebration of a new year. The Emperor has ordered yet another tax increase in his New Life Address, and there is much grumbling about this. Still, despite financial difficulties, the New Life tradition of free ale at all the taverns in the cities continues. The people of <var>provinceName</var> certainly know how to hold a celebration. In [[Daggerfall:Daggerfall|Daggerfall]], this is the Summoning Day for [[Lore:Clavicus Vile|Clavicus Vile]].
====Scour Day====
*Morning Star 2<sup>nd</sup>
Scour Day is a celebration held in most [[Lore:High Rock|High Rock]] villages on the day after [[#New Life Festival|New Life]]. It was once the day one cleans up after New Life, but has changed into a party of its own.
====Ovank'a====
*Morning Star 12<sup>th</sup>
Ovank'a is the day the people of the [[Lore:Alik'r|Alik'r Desert]] offer prayers to [[Lore:Stendarr|Stendarr]] in the hopes of a mild and merciful year. It is considered very holy.
====Meridia's Summoning Day====
*Morning Star 13<sup>th</sup>
In Daggerfall, this is the Summoning Day for [[Lore:Meridia|Meridia]].
====South Winds Prayer====
*Morning Star 15<sup>th</sup>
The 15<sup>th</sup> of Morning Star is a holiday taken very seriously in <var>provinceName</var>, where they call it South Wind's Prayer, a plea by all the religions of Tamriel for a good planting season. Citizens with every affliction known in Tamriel flock to services in the cities's temples, as the clergy is known to perform free healings on this day. Only some will be judged worthy of this service, but few can afford the temples usual price...
====Day of Lights====
*Morning Star 16<sup>th</sup>
The Day of Lights is celebrated as a holy day by most villages in [[Lore:Hammerfell|Hammerfell]] on the [[Lore:Iliac Bay|Iliac Bay]]. It is a prayer for a good farming and fishing year, and is taken very seriously.
A possibly unrelated Festival of Lights is a tradition in the [[Lore:Skyrim|Skyrim]] city of [[Lore:Dawnstar|Dawnstar]]. Little candies are given out to celebrate.{{Ref|[[Dawnstar:Alhavara|Alhavara]]'s dialogue in [[Dawnstar:Dawnstar|''TES Travels: Dawnstar'']].}}
====Waking Day====
*Morning Star 18<sup>th</sup>
The people in [[Lore:Yeorth Burrowland|Yeorth Burrowland]] invented Waking Day in prehistoric times to wake the spirits of nature after a long, cold winter. It has evolved into a sort of orgiastic celebration of the end of winter.
----
===Sun's Dawn===
====Mad Pelagius====
*Sun's Dawn 2<sup>nd</sup>
Mad Pelagius is a silly little tradition in [[Lore:High Rock|High Rock]] in a mock memorial to [[Lore:Pelagius Septim III|Pelagius Septim III]], one of the maddest emperors in recent history. He died about 350 years ago, so the [[Lore:Septim Dynasty|Septims]] since have taken it with good humor. In [[Daggerfall:Daggerfall|Daggerfall]] this is the Summoning Day for [[Lore:Sheogorath|Sheogorath]].
====Othroktide====
*Sun's Dawn 5<sup>th</sup>
The people of [[Daggerfall:Dwynnen|Dwynnen]] have a huge party to celebrate Othroktide, the day when [[Lore:Othrok|Baron Othrok]] took Dwynnen from the undead forces who claimed it in the [[Lore:Battle of Wightmoor|Battle of Wightmoor]].
====Day of Release====
*Sun's Dawn 8<sup>th</sup>
The people of [[Lore:Glenumbra|Glenumbra]] may be the only people to remember or care about the battle between [[Lore:Aiden Direnni|Aiden Direnni]] and the Alessian Army in the first era. They celebrate it vigorously on the Day of Release.
====Feast of the Dead====
*Sun's Dawn 13<sup>th</sup>
Celebrated in the Skyrim city of [[Lore:Windhelm|Windhelm]]. During the feast, the names of the Five Hundred Companions of [[Lore:Ysgramor|Ysgramor]] are recited.{{Ref|{{Cite book|PGE|1|Skyrim}}}}
====Heart's Day====
*Sun's Dawn 16<sup>th</sup>
Today is the 16<sup>th</sup> of Sun's Dawn, a holiday celebrated all over Tamriel as Heart's Day. It seems that in every house, the Legend of the Lovers is being sung for the younger generation. In honor of these Lovers, Polydor and Eloisa, the inns of the city offer a free room for visitors. If such kindness had been given the Lovers, it is said, it would always be springtime in the world. In Daggerfall, this is the Summoning Day for [[Lore:Sanguine|Sanguine]].
====Perserverance Day====
*Sun's Dawn 27<sup>th</sup>
{{sic|Perserverance|Perseverance}} Day is quite a party in [[Lore:Ykalon|Ykalon]]. It was originally held as a solemn memorial to those killed in battle while resisting the [[Lore:Camoran Usurper|Camoran Usurper]], but has since become a boisterous festival.
====Aduros Nau====
*Sun's Dawn 28<sup>th</sup>
The villages in the Bantha celebrate the baser urges that come with Springtide on Aduros Nau. The traditions vary from village to village, but none of them are for the overly virtuous.
----
===First Seed===
====Hermaeus Mora's Summoning day====
*First Seed 5<sup>th</sup>
In [[Daggerfall:Daggerfall|Daggerfall]], this is the Summoning Day for [[Lore:Hermaeus Mora|Hermaeus Mora]].
====First Planting====
*First Seed 7<sup>th</sup>
On the 7<sup>th</sup> of First Seed every year, the people of <var>provinceName</var> celebrate First Planting, symbolically sowing the seeds for the autumn harvest. It is a festival of fresh beginnings, both for the crops and for the men and women of the city. Neighbors are reconciled in their disputes, resolutions are formed, bad habits dropped, the diseased cured. The clerics at the temples run a free clinic all day long to cure people of poisoning, different diseases, paralysis, and the other banes found in the world of Tamriel.
====Day of Waiting====
*First Seed 9<sup>th</sup>
The Day of Waiting is a very old holy day among certain settlements in the [[Lore:Dragontail Mountains|Dragontail Mountains]]. Every year at that time, a dragon is supposed to come out of the desert and devour the wicked, so everyone locks themselves up inside.
====Hogithum====
*First Seed 21<sup>st</sup>
In [[Daggerfall:Daggerfall|Daggerfall]], this is the Summoning Day for [[Lore:Azura|Azura]].
====Flower Day====
*First Seed 25<sup>th</sup>
Flower Day is another of the frivolous celebrations of [[Lore:High Rock|High Rock]]. Children pick the new flowers of spring while older [[Lore:Breton|Bretons]], cooped up all winter, come out to welcome the season with dancing and singing.
====Festival of Blades====
*First Seed 26<sup>th</sup>
During the Festival of Blades, the people of the [[Lore:Alik'r|Alik'r Desert]] celebrate the victor of the first [[Lore:Redguard|Redguard]] over a race of giant goblins. The story is considered a myth by most scholars, but the holiday is still very popular in the desert.
----
===Rain's Hand===
====Gardtide====
*Rain's Hand 1<sup>st</sup>
On Gardtide, the people of Tamarilyn Point hold a festival to honor Druagaa, the old goddess of flowers. Worship of the goddess is all but dead, but the celebration is always a great success.
====Peryite's Summoning Day====
*Rain's Hand 9<sup>th</sup>
In [[Daggerfall:Daggerfall|Daggerfall]], this is the Summoning Day for [[Lore:Peryite|Peryite]].
====Day of the Dead====
*Rain's Hand 13<sup>th</sup>
The Day of the Dead is one of the more peculiar holidays of [[Lore:Daggerfall|Daggerfall]]. The superstitious say that the dead rise on this holiday to wreak vengeance on the living. It is a fact that [[Lore:Lysandus|King Lysandus']] spectre began its haunting on the Day of the Dead, 3E 404.

All along the seaside of [[Lore:Hammerfell|Hammerfell]], no one leaves their houses on the Day of Shame. It is said that the Crimson Ship, a vessel filled with victims of the Knahaten Plague who were refused refuge hundreds of years ago, will return on this day.
====Jester's Day====
*Rain's Hand 28<sup>th</sup>
Be warned that today is Jester's Day in the city of <var>provinceName</var>, and pranks are being set up from one end of town to the other. It is as if a spell has been cast over the community, for even the most taciturn and dignified councilman might attempt to play a joke on his <var>relative</var>. The Thieves Guild finds particular attention as everyone looks for pickpockets in particular.
----
===Second Seed===
====Second Planting====
*Second Seed 7<sup>th</sup>
The celebration of Second Planting is in full glory this day. It is a holiday with traditions similar to First Planting, improvements on the first seeding symbolically to suggest improvements on the soul.

====Drigh R'Zimb====
*Mid Year 1<sup>st</sup>
The festival of Drigh R'Zimb, held in the hottest time of year in [[Lore:Abibon-Gora|Abibon-Gora]], is a jubilation held for the sun Daibethe itself.

====Mid Year Celebration====
*Mid Year 16<sup>th</sup>
Today is the 16<sup>th</sup> of Mid Year, the traditional day for the Mid Year Celebration. Perhaps to alleviate the annual news of the Emperor's latest tax increase, the cities temples offer blessings for only half the donation they usually suggest. Many so blessed feel confident enough to enter the (dangerous) dungeons when they are not fully prepared, so this joyous festival has often been known to turn suddenly into a day of defeat and tragedy.
====Dancing Day====
*Mid Year 23<sup>rd</sup>
Dancing Day is a time-honored holiday in [[Lore:Daggerfall|Daggerfall]]. Who started it is questionable, but the Red Prince Atryck popularized it in the second era. It is an occasion of great pomp and merriment for all the people of Daggerfall, from the nobles down.

===Sun's Height===
====Merchants Festival====
*Sun's Height 10<sup>th</sup>
The bargain shoppers of the known world are out in force today and it is little wonder, for the 10<sup>th</sup> of Sun's Height is a holiday called the Merchants' Festival. Every marketplace and equipment store has dropped their prices to at least half. The only shop not being patronized today is the Mages Guild, where prices are as exorbitant as usual. Most citizens in need of a magical item are waiting two months for the celebration of Tales and Tallows when prices will be more reasonable... In [[Daggerfall:Daggerfall|Daggerfall]], this is the Summoning day for [[Lore:Vaernima|Vaernima]].
====Divad Etep't====
*Sun's Height 12<sup>th</sup>
During Divat Etep't, the people of [[Daggerfall:Antiphyllos|Antiphyllos]] mourn the death of one of the greatest of the early [[Lore:Redguard|Redguard]] heroes, Divat, son of Frandar of the Hel Ansei. His deeds are questioned by historians, but his tomb in Antiphyllos is almost certainly genuine.
====Sun's Rest====
*Sun's Height 20<sup>th</sup>
You will have to wait until tomorrow if you are planning on making any equipment purchases, for all stores are closed in observance of Sun's Rest. Of course, the temples, taverns, and Mages Guild in the (city) are still open their regular hours, but most citizens chose to devote this day to relaxation, not commerce or prayer. This is not a convenient arrangement for all, but the Merchants' Guild heavily fines any shop that stays open, so everyone complies.

*Sun's Height 29<sup>th</sup>
Few besides the natives of the [[Lore:Alik'r|Alik'r Desert]] would venture out on the hottest day of the year, Fiery Night. It's a lively celebration with a meaning lost in antiquity.

====Feast of the Tiger====

*Last Seed 27<sup>th</sup>
Perhaps no other festival fires the spirit of <var>cityName</var> as much as the one held today, Harvest's End. The work of the year is over, the seeding, sowing, and reaping. Now is the time to celebrate and enjoy the fruits of the harvest, and even visitors to <var>regionName</var> are invited to join the farmers. The taverns offer free drinks all day long, an extravagance before the economy of the coming winter months. Underfed farm hands gorging themselves and then getting sick in the town square are the most common sights of the celebration of Harvest's End.
This day in 3E 433 marked the beginning of the [[Lore:Oblivion Crisis|Oblivion Crisis]].
----
===Hearth Fire===
====Tales and Tallows====
*Hearth Fire 3<sup>rd</sup>
No other holiday divides the people of <var>cityName</var> like the 3rd of Hearth Fire. A few of the oldest, more superstitious men and women do not speak all day long for fear that the evil spirits of the dead will enter their bodies. Most citizens enjoy the holiday, calling it Tales and Tallows, but even the most lighthearted avoid the dark streets of <var>cityName</var>, for everyone knows the dead do walk tonight. Only the [[Lore:Mages Guild|Mages Guild]] completely thrives on this day. In celebration of the oldest magical science, necromancy, all magical items are half price today.

*Frostfall 13<sup>th</sup>
Today is the 13<sup>th</sup> of Frostfall, known throughout Tamriel as the Witches' Festival when the forces of sorcery and religion clash. The [[Lore:Mages Guild|Mages Guild]] gets most of the business since weapons and items are evaluated for their mystic potential free of charge and magic spells are one half their usual price. Demonologists, conjurors, lamias, warlocks, and thaumaturgists meet in the wilderness outside (the city), and the creatures created or summoned there may plague Tamriel for eons. Most wise men choose not to wander this night. In [[Daggerfall:Daggerfall|Daggerfall]], this is the Summoning Day for [[Lore:Mephala|Mephala]].
====Broken Diamonds====
*Frost Fall 23<sup>rd</sup>

[''Editor's note: It is Uriel III who killed Kintyra, not [[Lore:Cephorus|Cephorus]]. This is a scribe's error in [[Daggerfall:Daggerfall|Daggerfall]]''].
====Emperor's Day====
*Frostfall 30<sup>th</sup>
Once the 30<sup>th</sup> of Frostfall, the Emperor's Birthday, was the most popular holiday of the year. Great traveling carnivals entertained the masses, while the aristocracy of <var>cityName</var> enjoyed the annual Goblin Chase on horseback. Recently, these traditions have fallen into neglect.

Today is the 20<sup>th</sup> of Sun's Dusk, the Warriors Festival in ''cityName''. Most all the local warriors, spellswords, and rogues come to the equipment stores and blacksmiths where all weapons are half price. Unfortunately, the low prices also tempt many an untrained boy to buy his first sword and the normally quiet ''cityName'' streets ring with amateur skirmishes. The ''regentTitle'' has pardoned most of these ruffians in the past, but has promised to be less merciful this year. In Daggerfall, this is the Summoning Day for [[Lore:Mehrunes Dagon|Mehrunes Dagon]].
----
===Evening Star===
====North Winds Prayer====
*Evening Star 15<sup>th</sup>
Today is the 15<sup>th</sup> of Evening Star, a holiday reverently observed by the temples as North Wind's Prayer. It is a thanksgiving to the Gods for a good harvest and a mild winter. Some years, like this one, the harvest was not particularly good and the winter unseasonally harsh in <var>provinceName</var>, but as the <var>regentTitle</var> is fond of saying, "It could be much worse."

#Chil'a, the blessing of the new year in the barony of Kairou, is both a sacred day and a festival.

In Daggerfall, this is the Summoning Day for Molag Bal.

*Evening Star 25<sup>th</sup>
The New Life festival comes a few days early in Wayrest with Saturalia, traditionally held on the 25<sup>th</sup> of Evening Star. Originally a holiday for a long forgotten god of debauchery, it has become a time of gift giving, parties, and parading. Visitors are encouraged to participate.
====Old Life Festival====
*Evening Star 30<sup>th</sup>/31<sup>st</sup>
On the last day of the year the Empire celebrates the holiday called Old Life. Many go to the temples to reflect on their past. Some go for more than this, for it is rumored that priests will as the last act of the year perform resurrections on beloved friends and family members free of the usual charge. Worshippers know better than to expect this philanthropy, but they arrive in a macabre procession with the recently deceased nevertheless. When ale flows free in all the taverns in all the cities of Tamriel.
