The '''Prosian Calendar''' is a **13-month lunisolar system** developed during the early **Unification of Prose (Annuli 0000)**.
Each month, called a '''Kastani''' (plural: *Kastanua*), is named for celestial events linked to the twin moons **Kastan** and **Liera**.
The calendar measures **338 days** per year (known as an *Annuli*) and follows a **seven-day week**, balancing ritual observance, agriculture, and lunar motion.

The Prosian Calendar defines nearly all aspects of Prosian culture—from harvest cycles and engineering maintenance schedules to sacred observances such as the [[Jenek Ezeel]].

----

== Structure ==
The Prosian year, or **Annuli**, consists of 13 Kastani months.
Most Kastani have 26 or 28 days, except for the sacred first month **Tulani**, which has only six.

! No. !! Kastani (Month) !! Days !! Notes / Cultural Associations
|-
| 1 || '''Tulani''' || 6 || The short **sacred month** marking the flooding of the River Denek; deposits fertile soil for planting. Considered a period of gratitude and cleansing.
|-
| 2 || '''Zarkine''' || 26 || Early planting and renewal; trade routes reopen.
|-
| 3 || '''Tarwine''' || 28 || Growth season begins; strong river currents and mild weather.
|-
| 4 || '''Karfun''' || 28 || Associated with craftsmanship and restoration; often a time for engineering projects.
|-
| 5 || '''Leirati''' || 28 || Named for the moon **Liera**, which partially eclipses the sun during this Kastani; a time for reflection on light and shadow.
|-
| 6 || '''Mevoon''' || 28 || A period of travel and construction; weather stable across most regions of Prose.
|-
| 7 || '''Jenekti''' || 28 || The **season of reflection**; during this Kastani, the Prosian people observe the sacred [[Jenek Ezeel]] on Jenekti 15.
|-
| 8 || '''Benekedi''' || 28 || Late-summer harvests; social festivals and reunions.
|-
| 9 || '''Narosi''' || 28 || Season of preparation; maritime and river transport strongest under twin-moon alignment.
|-
| 10 || '''Larokosi''' || 28 || Time of **Laroko fruit harvest**; associated with family gatherings and community feasts.
|-
| 11 || '''Karstanoon''' || 28 || The moon **Kastan** often causes an eclipse during this month; a time of quiet observation.
|-
| 12 || '''Centati''' || 28 || Closing of trade cycles; storage and record keeping.
|-
| 13 || '''Denekta''' || 26 || Named for the River Denek; when **Kastan** and **Liera** approach one another, the Denek often floods—signaling both ending and renewal of the Annuli.
|}

→ **Total days per Annuli:** 338

----

== Time Units ==
The Prosian measurement of time follows harmonic divisions derived from river currents and lunar resonance.

{| class="wikitable" style="width:60%"
! Prosian Term !! English Equivalent !! Plural !! Notes
|-
| '''Kaset''' || Day || *Kasetua* || Basic daily cycle; seven-day week.
|-
| '''Kuseen''' || Hour || *Kuseenua* || 24 Kuseen per Kaset.
|-
| '''Keneet''' || Minute || *Keneetu* || 60 Keneet per Kuseen.
|-
| '''Keet''' || Moment || — || Smallest measurable interval; roughly 1.5 Earth seconds.

== Naming and Cultural Notes ==
* The term **Kastani** derives from the moon *Kastan*, which governs tidal and agricultural rhythms.
* Prosians use *Annuli* for “year” and still refer to months as “Kastani” even in Alliance communications.
* Humans aboard Prosian ships often use both systems interchangeably (e.g., “Kastani 5, Leirati 10th”).
* **1st of Leirati** is celebrated as **Seed Day**, marking the symbolic beginning of agricultural renewal.

----

== Ritual and Seasonal Observances ==
* **Tulani (Kastani 1)** – Sacred flooding of Denek; rituals of fertility and gratitude.
* **Jenekti 15** – **[[Jenek Ezeel]]**, the great ceremony of mental and spiritual cleansing.
* **Larokosi 10–18** – Harvest of Laroko fruit and Terget infusion festivals.
* **Denekta 24–26** – “Days of the Rising Waters,” commemorating the year’s end.

----

== Historical Origins ==
The calendar was formalized under **Councilwoman [[Zaroneth]]** during the **First Council of Prose (Annuli 0000)**, replacing the fractured regional systems used by the Seven Tribes.
The Council standardized week lengths and lunar tracking, using the synchronized cycles of **Kastan** and **Liera** as temporal anchors.

The system was adopted throughout the planet within two generations, serving as both a **scientific and cultural unifier** of Prosian society.

----

== Use in Modern Era ==
The Prosian Calendar remains the official civil and religious timekeeping system across Prose and its colonies.
Alliance time (Terran Standard) is often displayed alongside Kastani notation aboard mixed-crew vessels such as the ''[[SS Scavenger DX-1017]]''.
Software aboard the [[Scavenger Fleet]]’s ships automatically converts between **Kastani** and **Terran** dates for logs and mission records.

----

== Example Year Conversion ==
* **Annuli 3429** (current series era) corresponds roughly to **Earth year 2672 CE**.
* **Jenekti 15, Annuli 3429** – Shipboard observance of the [[Jenek Ezeel]] on the *Scavenger*.

> “The moons measure time, but the Flow measures life.” — Prosian proverb
> “Every Kastani breathes in rhythm with Kastan and Liera.” — Scholar Turel Maran
