The Fair Cycle, known pejoratively at The Unfair Cycle and Khogru's Folly, and whose advocates were known as Smoothers or Thirteeners, was a calendrical reform introduced by the emperor [[Nonduru dynasty|Khogru I]] starting in 215. Since the beginning of his reign, Khogru had been seeking to produce administrative reform to the Empire, and smoothing out the [[Negili Reckoning]], which was notorious for having months of uneven days, most notably the 'wee month' of Dend Aivas. The Fair Cycle, in its place, had thirteen months of exactly 28 days each, followed by the Abas Feast, which, under the Negili reckoning had been a minor festival, but which in the Fair Cycle was a special day of feasting outside of any month. Despite resistance, Khogru's innovation was relatively successful, and became, effectively, the only calendar used for any official, military, or religious purposes by the end of the century.

In the chaotic days after the end of the Empire in 338 IE, [[Eluli Ula]], with his newfound authority in [[Khutu]], abandoned the Fair Cycle there, returning to the Negili Reckoning still used in folk practices and much everyday life. Today the Negili Reckoning continues to be used in Khutu, despite the confusion that it causes occasionally when dealing with other nations. The suppression of the [[Calendar Rebellion]] in [[Onighus]], the Khutuan capital, in 623, was the last effort to restore Khutu to the Fair Cycle. The Fair Cycle is used throughout the other Omban successor states, as well as in [[Ashnabis]]. parts of [[Umnaka]] and [[Luetka]]. The Hand and the Voice alternate months in terms of the chief responsibility for ceremonial affairs, public feasts, and other important civic activities. Because there is a 13-month year, the specific months of their responsibility alternate on a two-year cycle.
