The Calendar
The calendar of Tamriel mirrors the normal calendar (except that Sun's Dawn is supposed to have 28 days, but actually has 30). There is a major holiday throughout the Bay at least once per month and individual provinces and regions have their own holidays. Most major holidays have some benefit to your character, but local holidays are for atmosphere only.
