It is rendered 'Morning Star' in all other instances.

In the Player's Guide, the two holidays are listed under 'Morningstar'.

The first day of every month is a Tirdas.

There are several other discrepancies related to the calendar to note: New games will begin either on the first of Morning Star or the first of Hearthfire, 3E 389. The calendar within Arena does not correspond to the one given above, as each month has 30 days. It represents a Tamriel-ified version of the actual 1993 calendar, which was the year the game was intended to be released.

This calendar is found in a reference sheet included with Arena. Loredas is most likely taken from the Nordic languages where Saturday is called a 'Bath Day' - 'lördag', 'lørdag,' or 'laurdag', in place of the Roman God Saturn, as the Vikings had a habit of bathing on Saturday. It would, however, be analogous to the German word for Wednesday, 'Mittwoch', and its literal English translation and synonym 'midweek'. Middas could mean the day at the middle of the week, as traditionally the deities corresponding to Wednesday (Wodanaz (Odin) / Mercury / Hermes) could not possibly be corrupted to form a 'mid-' stem. Sundas, Morndas, Tirdas, Turdas and Fredas are respectively different corruptions of Sun, Moon, Tyr, Thor and Frigg, the same as the English calendar. The names of the days are mostly different corruptions of the same naming scheme we have on the English calendar, only with the exception of Middas and Loredas. Days of the Week Ī week in the Tamrielic calendar is also, as with the real-life equivalent, measured in seven days. Note that the constellation of The Serpent does not correspond to any one month, because The Serpent wanders randomly around the sky. † Morning Star was not present in Morrowind, most likely omitted by accident. In Skyrim, 'Heart Fire' is used exclusively on the game calendar, although it appears as 'Hearth Fire' (as one or two words) in some books. § Hearthfire is occasionally referred to as Heartfire or Heart Fire, as found in the Codex Scientia. * These three months are variously referred to as one word or two words.

The months - and their real-life equivalents - are measured as follows: Name of Each month has an associated constellation, which is said to affect the traits of anyone born in that month, and each month corresponds roughly to an equal period of time in the Gregorian calendar. The Tamrielic calendar is composed of twelve distinct months (sometimes called 'Seasons' ), each approximately thirty days in length.
