Yearly Reckoning
From Titannica
During the Time of Naming, the gods appointed the years to pass in cycles of twenty, with each year represented by an animal. Each cycle is known as a "Turn" - hence, someone born over forty but under sixty years ago would talk of being born in a particular year "two Turns ago". The years pass in the following order:
| Years | |||||||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dragon | Lion | Snake | Ox | Tiger | Goat | Mouse | Deer | Bat | Wolf | Eagle | Dog | Spider | Rabbit | Fox | Crocodile | Owl | Cat | Shark | Horse |
Whereas this Yearly Reckoning is used throughout the civilised lands of Titan, the people of Hachiman follow a different calendar.
