Introduction: This short
almanac provides some essential information about the Kith in a handy
form for the convenience of members.
The religious calendar shown below
is intended only as a standard for Kith publications and has been
asked for by some contributors. Members may prefer to use other
calendars in their own religious practices.
Year
Dating Convention: For
the sake of simplicity we do not adopt the dating system which adds an
arbitary 250 years to the present world calendar: thus the year 2005
is preferred rather than 2255.
Religious Calendar: We use
the generally accepted one of our faith that has been in use for a
good 40 years.

Starting with the Sun-day and ending

from nourishing warmth to destructive fire.
