The '''Tîran Calendar''' is the standard method of measuring time on [[Tîra]], structured around the natural celestial cycles of the planet. Unlike many Terran-based calendars, the Tîran Calendar is designed to accommodate the unique orbital and rotational characteristics of the [[Tîran]] homeworld, featuring a 360-day year, 18 months, and a precise hierarchical structure of timekeeping.

The '''Tèran Calendar''' is the standard method of measuring time on [[Tèraan]], structured around the natural celestial cycles of the planet. Unlike many Terran-based calendars, the Tèran Calendar is designed to accommodate the unique orbital and rotational characteristics of the [[Tèran]] homeworld, featuring a 360-day year, 18 months, and a precise hierarchical structure of timekeeping.

To facilitate trade, diplomacy, and interstellar relations, the ~~Tèran~~ Calendar is often converted to the '''[[~~Lethurèan~~ Standard Calendar]]''', where 1 ~~Lethurèan~~ Year is equivalent to 2.78 ~~Tèran~~ Years (or 1,000 days). This conversion ensures easier timekeeping when dealing with entities outside of [[~~Tèraan~~]].

== Legacy and Adaptation ==

==Legacy and Adaptation==

Due to the moderately long lifespan of ~~Tèrans~~, the measurement of time takes on a different cultural weight compared to species with shorter lifespans. Though extremely long lived species, such as the [[~~Valorèin~~]], measure time with the '''[[~~Lethurèan~~ Standard Calendar]]''' as their concept of time is drastically different from that of the [[~~Tèran~~]] and many other species. Many major life events, such as marriage, military service, and championships, are based on extended periods that emphasize patience, endurance, and long-term planning.

The calendar has also been adopted in various ~~Lethurèan~~ Species and remains one of the most widely recognized timekeeping systems in [[~~Lethurèa~~]] other than the [[~~Lethurèan~~ Standard Calendar]].
