Sylvierian Months

A Sylvierian year is broken down into ten months of thirty days (one revolution of Ao and Iori on the Pursuit) each. The passage of months is regulated by Pryiam turning on the Starwheel and the movement of Watchwork Tower at the far end of the Clockspine of Pryiam. This delineation of Time was first conceived of by Aopros, the son of Pryiam (Pryma) and Ao. After being murdered by Pryma, Aopros' body became the Bronze Clockwork of his dream, and allowed for the foundation of Time itself. The dawn of Time resulted in the birth of his own memory as the God of Time, Ophros, who completed the mechanism by founding the Watchwork Tower. From its starting position at the Duskside of the Pursuit, the Watchwork Tower's position in space after thirty day intervals marked the passage of a month, with the first month beginning at the point the Watchwork Tower and the Duskside of the Pursuit aligned. During the First Year (1000 Before the Ichonochryst), the passage of the Watchwork Tower prompted Ophros to create the Decaphros, the ten Wardens of the Passing Months as each new month began. Each of the ten Decaphros appeared in the Void behind the Watchwork Tower, marking the sky itself as a calendar of passage. They manifest as colored nebulae in the darkness of the Void, and are visible during Iori's Run of the day. Each individual Decaphrost is a different color, associating the color of the Ward with the month it oversees.

The ten months, in order, with the first month marking Watchwork Tower's starting position at the Duskside of the Pursuit: Additionally, Ophros created two hidden months, Irist and Erast, accessible only through supernatural means. There are no Decaphros attending to the hidden months; instead, the hidden months are overseen by the Silpherenyes, the Guardians of the Bronze Chroniker. The passage of Time does not flow through Irist and Erast; the exist separately from the Clockwork progressions of the Stonestar.
