What I was able to find is that the moon changes 1/4 phase every 3.5 days.  So every 7 days the moon is at a half change.


I am looking into holidays so far the ST guide mentioins the immaculate holiday in the middle of the replendent month of the season, so i am assuming Replendant 14 for each element.  And the guild charges dues at the last month of the element I am assuming on the last day.

Ok i got the file up with the moon cycle on it for each of the months.  The middle of the week is basically an approximation of the 25% or waxing and waning moons.  


I will get working on the holidays.  I might convert it to a form so that youc an typ ein your own holidays but you can write them in as well.

I have put up the next version of the calendar with the holidays form the Storyteller's guide.  I think the problem will be that the books makes out holidays as totally arbitrary per area.  So the only holidays up are the imperial ones.

Anyone ever had a stab at working out the Shoganate calendar outlined on p.16 of the Outcaste book?


I once tried, but collapsed from exhaustion.

Anyone know books or places I can get holidays from?

I have a list of non-offical holidays that I got from The Exalted Compendium before it went down. I have taken to useing them in my games, when it applies. These are just summaries.


Swell or Mare Festival on 17th of Respendant Water.


A water festival celebrated on the coast of the south, they celebrate good fishing and the Water Dragon's birthday (14th)


Also celebrated further inland, the oases swell to one and half again their normal height, and the water in them stays cool until drunk. Its a good omen to start travel through the desert on this day. Even warring barbarians will cease hostilities in this day, so not to disrupt the spirts.


Hunter's Day - 20 Decending Wood


The day in the West when the hunting season for big sea game begins. The creatures are most common between the 20th and calibration, and it's strict taboo to hunt these creatures before this day.


Festival of Decliration - 4th Ascending Earth


This "Dark Day" as it's called in some places, is celebrated virtually everywhere. This is the day of all the men declaring their love for their sweethearts. The custom is to give a earthen toned gift of affection (chocolates, dark meat, dark clothes, ect.) There are various tradition based around this holiday, such as in the south, they give the gift before dawn and don't declare their love until the sun has set. Among other ideas.


Festival of Requital - 4th Respendant Earth


"White Day" is the opposite, and partner to the Festival of Decliration. On this day it is the woman's turn to answer and return her affections for the men or man who declared their love for her in the month previous. Gifts on this day are typically white or silver to show the purity of her love. Like the "dark day" there are reigonal traditions such as in the West women leading their men to the shore and giving their gifts among the while foam of the surf. ect.


Blossom Viewing Festval - 22th-24th Respendant Wood


A day when all the trees blossom in the East, and everyone stops to witness their splender and beauty on these days. It's common to fly kites, have picknics and all asortment of outside activities on these days. While this holiday is mostly celebrated in the East it's not uncommon for Dynastic nobles to have trees imprted to their private garden to celebrate this beautiful holiday too.


Sailor's Holiday - 12th-16th Decending Wood


A good day for sea traveling. The oceans seem to be supernaturally calm these days, and travel is super easy these days. This isn't really considered a holday, but it's a good time for folk all through creation.


Rain of Stars - 15th-21st Decending Fire


This is a holiday once trasured in the first age, primarily among Sidereals. This week Stars rain down from the sky, and are even visible on most nights. This is a great time for Starmetal gathering. Even though the holiday has been demonized by the Order, Sidereals all over creation still celebrate it in secret. On the last day, for those who watch, they will get the gift of seeing stars as they seem to retreat back up to heaven...


Spirit's Death - 28th Decending Fire


This northern holiday is believed to be the last day when Spirits are alive and active. While this isn't really true, they believe this day is a bad day to start projects or begin travel as the spirits are most active this day, and are sure to curse bad luck on anything of the sort.


Spirit's Rebirth or Fate's Day - 28th Ascending Air


Counterpoint to the Spirit's Death holiday, this is believed to be the day when Spirit's blossom back to life. This day is a lot of celebrating in the North, so much so that work is halted on this day. No northern town will work on this day, that has been an age old traditon unbroken by the realm, the fiar folk, or the deathlords.


In the cities of the Hislanti League this day is also known as Fate's Day. While they respect dreams, dreams on this day are said to be most potent and truest of all. It is believed that adults dream their future on this night and those who remeber their dreams have an edge on the future. (though not always long-reaching future.)


Second Spark - 1st-12th Respendant Air


This is a time in the South when, despite the season, things warm to simular temperatures on would fins in Respendant Fire. It is believed that long ago the Fire and Air dragon's fought and after 12 days, the fire dragon won. His prize would be that he would hold 12 days in the other dragon's tenure. He chose Respendant when the Air dragon would normally be at his stongest. (the arrogant prick.)


For these tweleve days all of the south enjoy a 12 day leasuely holiday, and even relax with their duties. Members of the realm like to call this time "Slaker's holiday" even though many escape their work loads to travel south and enjoy the pleasant weather.


When this holiday ends, the air dragon repays his borther well. On the sunset of the last night, harsh cold winds whip up and the next day is filled with storms, and chilled wind. The fourteenth still has chilly winds but storms stop, after the frouteenth weather resumes to normal.


It is rumored that this effects happen elsewhere, but such effects are slight if at all.
