Sylvierian Days

The Sylvierian calendar is broken down into ten months, each having three weeks consiting of ten days each. Time has been measured in this way since the First Day when Ophros the god of Time came into being and created the Watchwork Tower at the end of the Clockspine of Pryiam. The week begins with Mariday and ends with Ophrosday. The days of the Sylvierian week correspond with colors in the same way that Sylvierian months do.

A Sylvieiran day consists of two ten hour cycles dictated by the revolutions of Ao and Iori on the Pursuit of the Bronze Clockwork. The day is split into Lightime, consisting of Ao's run over Pryiam, and Darktime, consisting of Iori's run. When Iori sets at the Duskside of the Pursuit, the Starwheel of the Clockwork advances, moving the Watchwork Tower in space along the path of the Decaphros. As Iori sets, Ao rises. Ao's rise and Iori's set mark the beginning of the new day in Sylvieria.

The days of the week in the Sylvierian calendar are as follows: Mariday (Dreamsday, the Day of Gray), Geniday (Godsday, the Day of Pink), Prymday (Earthsday, the Day of Red), Aoday (Sunsday, the Day of Orange), Ioday (Moonsday, the Day of Yellow), Prysiday (Mountainsday, the Day of Green), Aoproday (Clocksday, the Day of Blue), Mephiliday (Starsday, the Day of Indigo), Celeday (Riversday or Seasday, the Day of Violet), and Ophrosday (Timesday, the Day of White).
