Galifar Calendar
The Galifar Calendar is the primary calendar system used on the continent of Khorvaire. The calendar divides the year into 12 months, each of which contain 4 weeks and 28 days. Each month corresponds with one of Eberron's moons.
The years are counted from the founding of the kingdom of Galifar by Galifar ir'Wynarn I, using the abreviation YK, which stands for "years of the kingdom."

In addition to each month corresponding to a moon, each month also traditionally corresponds with a dragonmark.

History
The calendar dividing the year into 12 months of 4 weeks and 28 days was standardized by the Dragonmarked Houses almost 1,000 years ago. The dragonmarked houses developed the calendar based off studies made by the dragons.
The years dating from the founding of Galifar was developed during the reign of Galifar the Dark.
