Quettali Days

The elves had various calendar systems. The names below are the ones most familiar to us, dividing the solar year into 12 months.

Today's month and weekday are highlighted in the tables below, just in case you have been so busy with learning Quenya that you have completely lost track of time. It can happen to the best of us.

Days of the 7-day week

The elves, being wise, would of course have been ISO 8601 compliant, and so started the week on Monday.

Months of the solar year

Some months were so hectic they named them twice! You can pick the name you prefer, like how autumn and fall mean the same thing.
