So Muungharians follow a religion called Gheffenism, a polytheistic religion surrounding the Pantheon of Gheffe. The main god of the religion is called Rulone. There are many other major and minor gods and goddesses, including Sirade, the goddess of agriculture and fertility, Grescus, a mighty weather god, and Novus, the god of new things, youth, and setting goals, which is why Novusmoon is the first month of the year in the Muungha National Calendar (MNC).

The MNC year is 400 days long in common years, and 399 days long in drop years (like leap years, but one day is lost). The MNC year consists of 9 months with lengths: 41, 43, 42, 41, 43, 41, 42, 43, 41, totaling up to 377. The remaining 23/22 days make up the 10th "month" of Finannus, the only section of the year without "moon" in its name, and basically the February of the MNC. The average number of days in the first 9 months is 41.8888... days, which is close to Lustrexa's orbital period of ~41.8604 days. This allows Lustrexa's phases to line up with the days of the months, at least for a single year, since Finannus will shift them for the following year. This makes the MNC not a real lunar calendar, but a decent solar calendar (like the IRL Gregorian Calendar). Drop years (where Finannus is 22 days instead of 23), happen in every year divisible by 3, unless it's also divisible by 126. This averages the MNC year to ~399.674603 days, or off of the actual 399.674814 by ~0.0002 days per year (so the calendar drifts off by only 1 day every 500 years). The MNC year begins (Novusmoon 1st) on the Spring Equinox.

Here's a list of months:

Yeah, I'm thinking of updating the converter to include MITW XXX, and implementing the MNC in it.
