Calendar
The Rosharan calendar is divided up into ten months, with ten weeks each. Both the months and the weeks are named after the numbers on the Ars Arcanum, and are sometimes combined into abbreviations. Such abbreviations have the full name of the month and two suffixes, for week and day. Each week is five days, so the year in Roshar is estimated at around 500 days, though there may be more or less with the addition of inconsistencies and holidays outside the regular calendar.
| Abbreviation | Month | Week | Day |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chachanan | Chach | Nan | Nan |
| Jesachev | Jes | Chach | Vev |
| Kaktach | Kak | Tanat | Chach |
The Weeping
In Roshar, seasons change unpredictably, lasting only a few weeks before changing to something else. The Weeping, however, is consistent. It marks the end of an old year, and the coming of a new one, with four weeks of constant rain. There are no highstorms during the Weeping, except for one right in the middle.
