fearlessherosheartTazendra arrived on the Turtle on 19 April, 2013 (day 108). By her reference, this is the 3rd of Jhegaala (day 258), in the 2nd year of Zerika IV (That is the year of the Dragon, turn of the Phoenix, phase of the Phoenix, reign of the Phoenix, cycle of the Phoenix, great cycle of the Dragon -- 2/1/1/1/1/2). Tazendra spent a good portion of the previous year asleep. (I'm putting her capture/the attack on Daavya on 10 Lyorn earlier that year.)
All these cycles are counts of 17. 17 is a Significant Number.
For my reference, the New Year starts in spring. The first day of summer is 5 Hawk (day 73). Assuming a circular orbit, that would put the first day of spring at 1 Phoenix (New Year). That would put first day of autumn at 8 Vallista, and first day of winter at 13 Yendi. If the 'first days' are cross-quarters, spring equinox is 2 Lyorn, summer solstice is 6 Issola, autumn equinox is 11 Iorich, and winter solstice is 14 Teckla.)
(The cycle goes Phoenix, Dragon, Lyorn, Tiassa, Hawk, Dzur, Issola, Tsalmoth, Vallista, Jhereg, Iorich, Chreotha, Yendi, Orca, Teckla, Jhegaala, Athyra.)
The battle with Malicant started on 10 November, 2014 (day 314 of the year). By her reckoning, this is 570 days on the Turtle. It was 8 days from her 2nd Turtle-versary*, so it was 12 Teckla (day 250) of the 4th year of Zerika IV's reign (4/1/1/1/1/2)
Tazendra returned to waking in Tu Shanshu 8 December 2015 (day 342 of the year). That means she's spent 963 days on the turtle. (By her count, 3 years, 5 months, 11 days) This is the 6th year of Zerika IV's reign, 14 Tiassa (day 65).
* Tazendra has no clue how much shorter the days are, only that they feel shorter. So she's going with an 'a day is a day' philosophy.
