	The year as measured in Varcia consists of 363 days: 12 months of exactly 30 days each, plus 3 days that fall between seasons. A leap year occurs once every ~~three~~ (6) years, adding a fourth day, believed to be the day when the veil between the planes becomes thin enough to allow for crossing ~~over~~. The months are subdivided into five six-day periods, with one week being the equivalent of six days. It should be noted that months and years are dated differently depending on the region and culture. Typically the years will fall into 'ages', denoting a significant time in history. The current age in Varcia's calendar is measured as A.R. or '''Age of Renewal.'''
