As with the other calendars, the Farede Calendar, named after its propagator, the Panarch Farede of Tarabon, had an undefined starting point. This calendar dates from the end of the War of the Hundred Years and is still in use.
It sets ten days to a week, twenty-eight days to a month and thirteen months to a year, although there are also some feastdays that are not included in any month. The months in this calendar are:
- Taisham
- Jumara
- Saban
- Aine
- Adar
- Saven
- Amadame
- Tammaz
- Maighdal
- Choren
- Shaldine
- Nesan
- Danu
The months' names are mostly used in official documents rather than anywhere else. Some records define the time in days from the last festival or in days remaining to the next.
For information on the feasts and festivals of the Farede Calendar, see the main article.
