The Calendar in RuneScape has ten months, as revealed in Postbag from the Hedge issue 21. The total number of days in a year is 365.25 (see "leap year"), as with the real world.
Months of the Gielinorian year[]
The months according to the RuneScape calendar are:
Month | Number of days | Real-world equivalent | Details | |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Rintra | 39 | 1 January – 8 February | Tied for 2nd longest month with Novtumber and Moevyng on years with Moevyng Day. |
2 | Moevyng | 38/39 (Moevyng Day) |
9 February – 18 March | There is an additional day in the middle of Moevyng every four years, called Moevyng Day, similar to a leap day. Also, Moevyng sounds sort of like the word "moving," which is what Moevyng Day does. |
3 | Bennath | 32 | 19 March – 19 April | Bennath means "blessing" in Cornish. 2nd shortest month. |
4 | Raktuber | 34 | 20 April – 23 May | The Red Raktuber (which is a submarine) is named after this month. |
5 | Pentember | 38 | 24 May – 30 June | Named for its position as the fifth month. Pente (πέντε) is Greek for five. |
6 | Fentuary | 31 | 1 July – 31 July | Only month to solely encompass an entire Gregorian month. Shortest month. |
7 | Septober | 38 | 1 August – 7 September | Named for its position as the seventh month. Septem is Latin for seven. |
8 | Ire of Phyrrys | 40 | 8 September – 17 October | Scorpius, Phyrrys. Phyrrys began work on the calendar of RuneScape. |
9 | Novtumber | 39 | 18 October – 25 November | Named for its position as the ninth month. Novem is Latin for nine. |
10 | Wintumber | 36 | 26 November – 31 December | Named after winter; Wintumber trees are named after this month. |
Old Saradominist days of the week[]
The "Old Saradominist calendar", as mentioned by a H.A.M. guard, is a different system of names for the days of the week as seen in The Chosen Commander. It seems to fallen out of common use at some point, but some people, such as Nora T. Hagg and a H.A.M splinter group still seem to use it, however. The names for the days and their modern equivalents are:
- Ivanday - Monday
*Caistleday - Tuesday
*Duneday - Wednesday
*Gullday - Thursday
*Erysail - Friday
*Twiblick - Saturday
*Essianday - Sunday
The days of the week are all adaptations of the names of the Seven Priestly Warriors who fought back the dark forces in Morytania.
