	Years are named based on the currently ruling "dynasty." A word that references the dynasty is chosen by the first [[quing]] to rule in the dynasty. The current dynasty as of Gregorian year 2025 is referred to as "Kanata", who was confirmed in Gregorian year 1926. Therefore, the current year is Kanata 100.

	While there is a more standard year count in this calendar, it is rarely used in Rauratoshan proper. Its most common use there is to disambiguate, such as referring to the new year's holiday which occurred on March 21, 2025 as "Tanasotan 2438." Such a count typically refers to the number of years supposedly contained in this world's cycle, and therefore is called "Misha Kótan", literally "cycle year."

	Regardless of the name used, the year number is treated as an ordinal number - that is, "100(th year of) Kanata" or "2438(th) cycle year". Therefore, it typically ends with some variant of {{rkdg\|}} ''-sha''.

	The Rokaselan calendar separates each year into 12 months. The first six months have 31 days, and the last six months have 30 days.

	Leap years are inserted chiefly using a 33-year cycle, so that 1 Sairairita (an auspicious and important day) is predictable. Specifically, Parfarita 30 is added every four years, but the eighth leap year is delayed by 1 year. Mathematically, this means if the year modulo 33 is divisible by 4, and is not 32, a leap year occurs. Further corrections to this system have been proposed, because over the course of nearly 2500 years, vernal equinox timings change, the mean tropical year length changes, and drift accumulates to cause the vernal equinox to miss. The civil calendar of Rauratoshan works around the problem by inserting another leap year if over an entire 33-year cycle, the vernal equinox happens on 2 Sairairita, and skipping the next leap year if over the same period the vernal equinox occurs on the last day of Parfarita. Rauratoshan still recommends using regularized years of length 365.2͞4 days in calculations of, for example, astronomical observation in Zanmalaté Observatory.

	The week is divided into seven days, which used to have both ornamental and standard names, but most of the ornamental names have become archaic over time. Thus, only the standard names, which are derived from enumeration, remain: Akkage, Dungkage, Rencage, Kenénage, Minákkage, Rikudage, and Pinakage. Like in the Gregorian calendar, weeks do not reset at the beginning of each month or anything: even the start of the year Kanata 100 was on Minákkage.

There are technically three versions of the Rokaselan calendar: the original calendar, the modified calendar, and the divine calendar. The original calendar is the one used in the modern day - although the standard for non-Pezen uses of the Rokaselan calendar is the modified calendar, Nguhcraft lore allows for the original calendar to be preferred. The modified calendar still exists, but in the current revision of Rauratoshanian lore, it is exclusive to the Illumiŋati [[cǝŋspiracy theory]].
