Calendar Rebellion

The Calendar Rebellion was a political movement throughout the 610s and that came to a head in 623 IE over the issue of the calendar system used in Khutu, the Negili Reckoning. Since the end of the Empire in 338, Khutu had returned to the Negili Reckoning even though all the other successor states retained the Fair Cycle reforms. In 623, some of the most preeminent Khutuan noble lineages of the city of Onighus, frustrated with the complexity of the old system and its lack of correspondence to neighbouring states, began simply using the Fair Cycle in their territories. While initially framed as a pragmatic action designed to smooth trade with neighbours, it quickly became a point of identity, with various nobles taking sides. Eventually, Eluli and His Conduits intervened, in a few cases militarily, to bring the nobles in line. At least two lineage heads were executed and many others were temporarily jailed during the Rebellion.
