The Heroshi Calendar

The calendar of Heroshi is represented as a clock. The largest hand points toward the month and the smallest to the day. Some gnomish clocks include the year and down to the second, but these are regarded by most as difficult to read.

Days

Days are exactly 24 hours long. The time of day or night is the same the world over.

Weeks

Each week is 6 days long. There are 60 weeks in a year.
