The ''' | 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. | ||

Many major life events, such as marriage, military service, and championships, are based on extended periods that emphasize patience, endurance, and long-term planning. | ||
