Septi
A septi, also called a tenday, is a period of ten days in the Clora Fastis, the formal calendar of the Empire. Each month is made up of three of them.1
Counting the days
The days of a septi have no names of their own. They are counted from the start of the period, so the thirteenth day of a month is usually called the "third day of the second septi".1
In certain months a thirty-first day follows the three tendays. Because a septi can never last more than ten days, that extra day belongs to none of them and is called Malachar’s Day, in homage to the god of luck.1
