Weekdays
The Termanistanian days are called oneday (b-sh ), twoday (c-sh ), threeday (d-sh ), fourday (e-sh ), fiveday (f-sh ), sixday (g-sh ) and sevenday (h-sh ). None of them are official days off, but many businesses let their workers rest on sevenday. Numerous religions make claims that either this day or that is holy and that their members should be exempt from working on those days, with varied success. Very few businesses let their workers have more than one day off each week, and depending on the type of work this may be either sevenday or the religious day of the worker.
Months
The Termanistani calendar has twelve months in a year. Each month except The-issa has 5 weeks. Every third month has an additional festival day to mark the passing of the quarters of the year. This day is an official holiday, and is always at the end of that month.

Seasons
Termanistan lies on an artificial plane with tightly controlled weather. For this reason there is no climatological winter, nor is there a rainy season. The season can be discerned by looking at the plants and animals living on the plane, or by casting the cantrip Tell Time, which gives the current date and time. A wondrous item that casts Tell Time and shows the result using a complicated array of gauges and numbers is available from the occasional gnome sorcerer/tinkerer.
Holidays
The religions in Termanistan celebrate numerous holidays. As the city has no official religion, very few of these holidays line up with official holidays.
