People in Faerun use a calendar different from the standard (Gregorian) we're all used to in the real world. Like the standard calendar, the calendar in the Realms is divided into twelve months, but unlike the Gregorian calendar, each of these twelve months has thirty days. Quick math will show you that this multiplies out to 360 days. The remaining five days of the year are special holidays: Midwinter, Greengrass, Midsummer, Highharvestide, and the Feast of the Moon. For what we consider February 29th, the Realms celebrates Shieldmeet. Shieldmeet, like February 29th, only occurs once every four years. Below is a table listing the twelve months of the Faerun calendar, with their proper Faerun name, common name and Gregorian counterpart.
