Calendar of Harptos

From Forgotten Realms Wiki

The Calendar of Harptos is the calendar used almost all over Faerûn. It was created by the wizard Harptos although most people associate the word 'Harptos' with the calendar. It is split into twelve months, each lasting three tendays (or thirty days).^[1]
