The Calendar of Primera: Phases of Time
In the world of Primera, time flows not merely by the turning of months, but through six sacred phases, each spanning two months of the earthly calendar. These phases guide the people, the seasons, and the spirit of the land—marking not just the passage of days but the rhythm of life itself.
Phase Davos begins the cycle, encompassing January and February. In the icy breath of winter, it holds the promise of new beginnings beneath the quiet frost. Life sleeps but stirs, preparing to burst forth.
Phase Lumos follows with March and April, a bright awakening where light and growth flourish. Blossoms emerge and the earth hums with energy renewed.
Phase Kratos, named for strength, claims May and June — months ripe with vigor and determination. The sun is high, fields rich, and ambition fierce.
Phase Manos rules July and August, the height of summer's trial by fire. Endurance is tested, and through heat and hardship, resilience is forged.
Phase Plutos cools the world in September and October, ushering in change. Leaves burn like embers as the earth prepares to rest, reflecting on the year's harvest of experience.
Lastly, Phase Chronos brings November and December, the twilight months where time itself is honored. Shadows lengthen and the world slows, waiting for the dawn of a new cycle.
