The calendar used here on Destiny Flyers is very similar to the one used in the real world. There are twelve months, four seasons, and roughly 30 to 31 days in each month, except of course for the second.
Moons
There are twelve moon cycles* in a single year. Each moon cycle has a corresponding birthsign and birthstone. The year always begins on what would be January for us. Moons can be colloquially referred to as months, and dates can be written in manners such as: Nitesco 13, 1391 Nitesco Moon 13, 1391 13 Nitesco, 1391 13th day of Nitesco, 1391 13th day of the Nitesco Moon, 1391
* based on the moon Silentis (seasons are based on the moon Exequor)
Nitesco Moon Gregorian equivalent: January Latin translation: to begin to shine Month of the Morning Star (Phosphor) Season: Midwinter Common weather: Heavy snowstorms, freezing temperature Gemstone: Eonsin Ruby* Days: 31

* Eonsin ruby, Kyano sapphire, Procella moonstone, and Glauco emerald are all gemstones unique to Destiny Flyers. They are near identical to their real-world equivalent, aside from the fact they have values higher than that of a diamond, they are harder than diamond, and they are characterized by a red, blue, black, and green mythical swirl inside of them for the ruby, sapphire, moonstone, and emerald, respectively.
