I imagine Slon is rather unsuitable for sailing as it lies behind the Malasp infested Brown Sea and the Sea of Worms. In addition, hot winds forged from the furnace of the sea of flame blows northward and carry the foul fetid swamp air of the Porlaso and the Hornilio that makes men ill and rots the ship riggings.
In the winter, the North Wind can subdue the malarious Winds of the South, but from whence shall the ships sail? Nay, the only way too and fro the Dwarve Isle is with the Cement Ships of the Slon Decamony. All else is but a fool's errand.

WEST: Seeks to understand the Cosmos through intellectual means.
CENTRAL: Seeks to understand the Cosmos through communication with
the Gods.
EAST: Seeks to understand the Cosmos through modifying one's own
nature.
But then I could be wrong.

As the Lunar Way is intended to be a prosetylizing religion intended to convert people, it makes sense to me for the Tarshites and the Lunar Provincial Government to be using the old theyalan calender rather than piss off the locals.
