Months
The Triumvirate, like the Empire of Cardmoor before it, uses an 8-month calendar with 40 days in each month. These months correspond to seasons. The world-disc rotates completely once each year relative to the path of the sun, (see Cosmology). The two summer seasons each year correspond to the time when Amartain's portion of the world-disc is in line with the path of the sun, so the sun passes directly overhead.

The months are:
 * Northsummer
 * Fall
 * Firstwinter
 * Greening
 * Southsummer
 * Autumn
 * Secondwinter
 * Spring

The sun rises in the north and sets in the south in Northsummer, and vice-versa in Southsummer.

Years
The Empire of Cardmoor counted years from the supposed date of the founding of the city of Cardmoor.

The Triumvirate restarted the counting of years from the end of the War of the Dead and the founding of the Triumvirate, which was year 1374 of the old calendar. The Court game, Raven Squad, and Geldren Chalice story sequences began in year 10 of the Triumvirate.
