The Neptaran Calendar, primarily used in the Freecity of Neptaris, is a horribly complex dating system that mixes aspects of the Hieronymide Calendar and the Davidian Calendar. Typically, Davidian month names are used, though the days of those months often reference either the Imperial Calends, Nones and Ides or count from the nearest religious holiday (or even an event in history, such as the day celebrated as the foundation of a trade guild or noble house). Only scholars tend to count the days of a month according to Davidian tradition. Neptarans themselves tend to prefer this complex system of describing dates and are known to have no small amount of joy at the confusion it causes outsiders to the City.
The Neptaran Calendar dates from the legendary Foundation of Neptaris. The current year is 2104 NC.
