Evillious Calendar

The Evillious Calendar was the standard measurement of time used in the Bolganio continent's Evillious region. Initiated by Prophet Merry-Go-Round after the birth of the twin gods Hänsel and Gretel, the system lasted for at least a millennium since its establishment.

Measurement
After Prophet Merry-Go-Round established the calendar to commemorate the birth of the twin gods, the Magic Kingdom Levianta prefaced all succeeding years as "Evillious Calendar", commonly abbreviated as "EC" or "E.C." All years occurring before the birth of the twins were then prefaced with the "BT" or "B.T." abbreviation. The system was based on a luni-solar calendar that revolved itself around the rotation of the local sun in the Third Period. The general unit of time was the second, with sixty seconds comprising a minute and sixty minutes making up an hour. Each day was composed of 24 hours; seven days comprised a week and approximately 30 to 31 days in a standard month. Each year had twelve months total.
