"Sunday" redirects here. For the annual holiday, see High Sun Day.
In Hieron, as in many real-world societies, time is frequently measured in terms of a seven-day week. These names are based on religious and cultural traditions.
Days[edit | edit source]

Kinday[edit | edit source]

Application[edit | edit source]
At the end of the year, on High Sun Day, the calendar resets, and no matter what day it fell on, that day becomes the new Sunday, with the rest of the week following suit.
It is not yet clear whether these days of the week continue to be in use during the extended eclipse from Winter in Hieron, during which there is a 36-hour cycle with varying degrees of darkness.
