Midlands calendar:
The sparse men of the midlands measure time by the changing of the seasons. The peoples of the middle longitudes generally break the  year into four major months, with those further north mixing use of the middle kingdom calendar with that of the Krom northern  calendar.

Months:
(each month spans 90 days)
Salari: Spring time planting time.

Notes: 


  • Those who dwell in the middle longitudes also do not  figure days per-month as do northerners.They would not say "today is the  third of Sulan." They would "Today is the  ninety third day in Sulan." 
  • Every 10th day is festival day: Each family spends the day in tribute to whatever god they worship. The pantheons of each village and even each household can vary widely in the mid lands.
  • The 30th day of Salari is known as "The day of trees." it si a festival of ancestor worship in most areas.
  • Days 300 to 310 of Dulari are the days of exchange, in many  villages food stores are accumulated then  redistributed in a celebration of winters near end.
