Vana'diel Elemental Zodiac

Wed, 17 Dec 2008 14:18:14 GMT

Here's something for fun. Ever wanted to know which day of the Vana'diel week your birthday is on? Well, I've made a nifty calendar list for you to find out. A Vana'diel year has 12 months with 30 days in it each, making it have 360 days total. Divide that by the number of days in its week, 8, will give the product of 45, making each day fall under the same day of the week year after year. There are also 4 different month layouts that cycles 3 times, with the 1st day on Fire, Light, Ice, & Water & the 30th day on Lightning, Wind, Earth, & Dark respectively.

Note: If your birthday is on a 31, take account on which hour you were born for this. If you were born between 0:00 - 11:59, use the 30th, if 12:00 - 23:59, use the 1st of the next month.

Hello there, this is locke_muhe here with another spinoff journal. This one is for various logs & miscellaneous fun entries related to Final Fantasy XI. The journal is named after both of my FFXI characters; Lchan from the Shiva server & Roukuke from the Odin server. I'm still ~~procrastinating~~ getting the journal's looks & layout done along with preparing for the content of the entries, so expect something soon. Also, do not expect any various "day-by-day" experiences here, that'll be found on my main journal.

FFXI content from other journals of mine.
