Palorian Lunar Calendar

The Palorian Lunar Calendar is a calendar system used by [INSERT NAME] to measure the year. The calendar is notoriously complicated and many critics pan the use of the calendar due to its complication and lack of automation.

Structure
The Palorian Calendar is unique in the way it is structured. Almost every calendar in the Moral World, especially the widely used Jarus Calendar, split the year up into months. The Palorian Calendar, however, splits the year up into seasonal brackets, called Couoms, with the moon faces being tied to a specific day. Each Couom is split into 3 Subcouoms, which begin at every New Moon. When the summer solar eclipse occurs, it is a new year and when the winter solar eclipse occurs, it is celebrated as a semi-new year. Unlike most calendars, a new year doesn't exactly start a new calendar. Due the varying times of of summer the first solar eclipse occurs, the new year may begin in any of the three Subcouoms of the Summer Couom, same with the winter solar eclipse. Due to this, Palorian Calendars may contain most of the Summer Couom in the previous year. It is up to the [INSRET NAME (PLURAL)] Lunar Priest to officially announce the new year.

Each Couom has three Subcouoms in order to differentiate the three new moons. The first Subcouom in a Couom is Pera Subcouom, the second Subcouom is Mid Subcouom and the last Subcouom is Lan Subcouom.

Due to the unique structure of the calendar, stating specific dates is different than other calendars. If someone wants to give an exact date in the past, an example being a birthday, they would first state the year, then the day, then the Subcouom followed lastly by the Couom.

An example of how this would be portrayed in [INSERT NAME]: "I was born in 1292 on Don of the Pera Subcouom of the Spring Couom."

Issues
One of the biggest issues with the Palorian Calendar is the fact that it cannot run by itself. The Palorian Calendar is a 348 day year, 17 days off from an actual year. Due to this, the new year in the Palorian Calendar is not an exact date and it changes year to year. It is the job of the [INSERT NAME (PLURAL)] Lunar Priest, to pinpoint the new year and keep the calendar in line with the seasons.

Also due to the calendar following the moon, the dates for which the seasonal Couoms begin also shift. This has the effect of the official start of seasons occurring before the season actually begins. This isn't considered a big issue as the Palorian Calendar is set up for the seasonal Couoms to begin close to the actual start of the season. However, occasionally the calendar drifts up to 20 days off of the official beginning of the season and this is trouble for citizens who rely on the calendar to accurately tell them when it's safe to plant crops or prepare for winter. This is another job for the Lunar Priest, to let citizens know how out of synch the calendar is if it drifts too far off course.
