No so lost. Greg and I talked quite a bit about calendars, especially while we were putting together the Sartar Book. Here's the Orlanthi story:
"At the Dawn, the god Time came with his 294 sons and daughters and told Orstohra, King of the Theyalans (the First Age Orlanthi), how to chronicle Time. Time introduced his sons and daughters to the king one after the other. Each backed into the room, bowed to the king, and told him how to speak their name in runes. Each day is associated with three runes: two elemental runes (denoting day and season) and one power rune (denoting week)."
There it is. And the Theyalans spread this wherever they went.
