 The Months of Barr al-Fadi The Vandhar year is 396 days long. Most calendars consist of 14 months, each containing four 7-day weeks. This leaves 4 days that various cultures treat as special days. The calendar for Barr al-Fadi is as follows:
Between the months of Shahr Sab'a and Shahr Tmanyi, there are two Summer holiday days: Quddam ali Saif and Khalf ali Saif (before and after high summer). There are also Winter holiday days between the months of Shahr Arbata'sh and Shahr Wahid: Quddam ali Shati and Khalf ali Shati (before and after high winter). The Currency of Barr al-Fadi The currency of the Empty Land is similar to that of other cultures across Vindarten and is based on the "Silver" standard rather than the usual "Gold" standard of most AD&D worlds. The names and conversion rates are as follows:
As suggested in this table, the "Kiam" is the base unit of currency in Barr al-Fadi, and is equivalent to a "Silver Piece" in generic AD&D games. Also note that there are no entries for either Electrum or Platinum coins. This is because no such coinage is minted as standard currency in Barr al-Fadi or any of its client states. While these coins do exist, they are very uncommon within the realm, always come from other "unenlightened" countries, and are referred to by the names used in their country of original (if at all.)
