This is the calendar in use by the College Esoterica since its move to the sky island of Caroban, as yet another sign of its independence from all major powers of Sinai, Rephidim included. Caroban still measures the years the same way, but it divides up the year by twelve holidays - each corresponding to a different Sphere of Magic (Magic, Spheres of), and spaced 30 days apart from each other, with a 5-day (or 6-day during leap years) week added to the front of the year to even things out. As with the Rephidim calendar, dates are measured by how many days they are before or after the nearest holiday. Under this system, a period of 30 days may be referred to as a "Sphere" or an "Apex", while a period of 15 days may be referred to as a "Hemisphere" or a "Transition". Holidays and dates of note include: Jan 15: Life to Illusion (Life 15, 15 Illusion) Jan 30: Apex of Illusion Jan 31: Year's End Feb 1: First Day Feb 2: Second Day Feb 3: Third Day Feb 4: Fourth Day Feb 5: Leap Day [during leap years] / Illusion 1 [during non-leap years] Feb 6: Illusion 1 [during leap years] Feb 19: Illusion to Air [during non-leap years] / Illusion 14 [during leap years] Feb 20: Illusion to Air [during leap years] / 14 Air [during non-leap years] Mar 6: Apex of Air Mar 21: Air to Water (Air 15, 15 Water) Apr 5: Apex of Water Apr 20: Water to Light (Water 15, 15 Light) May 5: Apex of Light May 20: Light to Earth (Light 15, 15 Earth) Jun 4: Apex of Earth Jun 19: Earth to Fire (Earth 15, 15 Fire) Jul 4: Apex of Fire Jul 19: Fire to Shadow (Fire 15, 15 Shadow) Aug 3: Apex of Shadow Aug 18: Shadow to Chaos (Shadow 15, 15 Chaos) Sep 2: Apex of Chaos Sep 17: Chaos to Dream (Chaos 15, 15 Dream) Oct 2: Apex of Dream Oct 17: Dream to Spirit (Dream 15, 15 Spirit) Oct 31: Spirit Eve Nov 1: Apex of Spirit Nov 16: Spirit to Mind (Spirit 15, 15 Mind) Dec 1: Apex of Mind Dec 16: Mind to Life (Mind 15, 15 Life) Dec 31: Apex of Life
