Days of the Week

For my ongoing world, these are the days of the week that most human communities follow.

Days of the Week

1st Day: Counting Crowns (Crown is a gold piece for most civilized people)

2^nd Day: Steadfast (or Steadfast Prayer or just Prayer)

3^rd Day: Burning Candles

4^th Day: Sharpening Swords or Sharpening

5^th Day: Market (or Tower Day)

6^th Day: Wash (or Well Day)

7^th Day: Peal (Ringing Bells or just Bells)

8^th Day: Hammering (or Hooping)

9^th Day: Gate (Travel)

10^th Day: Sword Day

Days are generally known by these names throughout the domain for most Nyssian speaking peoples. Here are specific tasks most people follow on that day.

These days are rarely fixed, cities share the same week day names, but have them on differing days. Thus the day that fair are is in that location is Market day, the next day that town will have Market day, and so on and so on. Usually scholars will keep a definite record to determine where they are in relation to other locations as counted by the number of days from a specific event.

Most faiths have a day of service, wherein the faithful should visit their church (Obelisk); once a specific period (some every week, others every month, etc.) The 2^nd, 3^rd & 7^th days are the most common. Market day is the rarest, as it is fair day when the market is open and most people do their weekly shopping. Sword Day is often used for military faiths.

Because the days can differentiate between towns, it is possible to visit the same days in a row by Chasing the Week-Wheel. Some merchants, bards, and religious orders deliberately make their living doing this, so virtually every day they have their special day of activity. 

Sword Day: Most non-nobles do not pay taxes but can be called upon for military service in times of danger. It is mandatory to participate in training once a week during sword day, but not necessarily using the sword as a weapon.
