The [[King's Reckoning|Númenórean Calendar]] was devised during the [[Second Age]], but even after the fall of [[Sauron]] at the end of that Age, the old calendar was maintained by the [[Exiles of Númenor]] in [[Middle-earth]] into the [[Third Age]]. The change of Age, though, introduced an error into the calendar that its designers had not foreseen, so that eventually a thorough revision became necessary. That revision was introduced by [[Mardil|Mardil Voronwë]], whose Revised Calendar consisted of twelve months, each of thirty days, and five additional days that belonged to no month. This Revised Calendar, more commonly called the [[Stewards' Reckoning]], was introduced nearly a thousand years before the [[War of the Ring]], and became the standard calendar of Middle-earth.
