Calendar & Time
Clocks and Time
Clocks in Sennzia are nearly identical to common mortal clocks in other realms. A second is a second, there are sixty seconds in a minute, sixty minutes in an hour, 24 hours in a day. This clock applies to nearly all creatures besides archfey, who experience a bonus hour near the middle of each day where all other creatures are effectively frozen in time. Archfey sometimes call this bonus hour âtea time.â During tea time, fey must adhere to strict rules that they may not interact with time-locked beings. Any such unwanted contact or interference during this time may end the bonus hour abruptly for that fey.
Calendar
The Calendar of Sennzia follows the harvest schedule closely, and covers four seasons similar to other realms, but always in this order: winter, spring, summer and autumn. Fairies like to start the year out in winter because they feel that things only get better from there. Each season typically includes 3 months of roughly 30 days each. Weeks are 5 days long and there are 6 weeks in a month.
Winter
- Unembre
- Glacée
- Froide
Summer
- Floraison
- Ainée
- Primai
Autumn
- Juin
- Juillet
- Consacrée
Spring
- DĂ©cembre
- RĂ©colte
- Janvier
Of course, this cycle is entirely dependent upon the happiness of Queen Jillian. If the Queen is in a bad mood and winter comes early, the calendar year simply ends a few days short of schedule. The last week of any given season may be shorter or longer by a few days, but the seasons have never been known to be off by more than that in either direction.

Payroll & Workers
Most employers in Sennzia run payroll every two weeks on the even weeks, so workers are paid 3 times per month.
Paydays are usually on the second, fourth and sixth Renven of the month. Everyone loves Renven but there are no “weekends” in Sennzia. Vacations are taken “anywhen” which means that weekends are effectively pointless. A fairy, pixie or other fey will usually just not work whenever they decide to do something else.
Those who work straight through never lose rhythm or productivity, while those who take breaks do so as needed, rather than clustering their days off all at the same time.
