The Aslan calendar takes as its starting point the first selection of the Tlaukhu as supreme council of Kusyu about 3,200 years ago (-2083 Imperial).

Aslan Calendar Daily Terminology

    • Each eakhau is divided into 16 tekhaao (hours), each just over two standard hours.
  • ASLAN HOUR: Each tekhaao is further divided into 8 khtauaao (periods), each about 17 minutes long.
  • ASLAN PERIOD: The khtauaao is divided into 64 areiaao (sprint), each about 16 seconds long.
  • ASLAN SPRINT: The areiaao are divided into 8 uealaao (second) the smallest time unit in general use by Aslan.
  • ASLAN SECOND: Each uealaao is about 2 seconds long.

The Aslan calendar is based upon the revolution of Kusyu around Tyeyo, its star.

  • ASLAN YEAR: The Aslan year (ftahea) is about 320 standard days, or about 212.2 eakhau long.

There are no subdivisions in the Aslan calendar:

  • Each day has a unique name.
  • For simplicity each eakhau is consecutively numbered from 1 to 212, much like the Imperial calendar.
  • Every five years, a 213th day is added to keep the calendar in sync.
