Do the days of a tenday in the Realms have specific names? if so where are they listed. Thanks in advance for any help. A specific day is referred to as "the tenth of Ches" or "the score-and-six of Tarsakh" but specific day-names (like our Monday, Tuesday, etc.) have never caught on, into widespread use in the Realms, likely due to so many competing faiths and rulers wanting their own.#Realmslore

That doesn’t stop folks from repeatedly trying, though, so in a particular locale on Toril, local names may be in use, and traveling merchants who regularly visit or pass through will know them (so please feel free to introduce names you’d like). SMTWThFS in… 3)
…olden-days Chancelgaunt was "Orum, Nemaen, Jyor, Durdreth, Galaum, Taethur, Foelun" (Sunday = Orum, Saturday = Foelun), and this survived into Sembia and is still used in Archendale and by old folks in Scardale.
But no day-names seem to catch on "everywhere."#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) June 1, 2020
Hi Ed. So would this mean that in “olden times” that Chondath/the early Sembian colonies used a 7-day “week” as opposed to the ten-day now seen more commonly in the Realms? If so, does Chondath still observe a 7-day “week”?No, they were tendays there and then, too. I just didn't include the last three days in my lore reply.
So, between Foelun (=Saturday) and Orum (=Sunday) were days known as Haraerlor, Nlord, and Daethum.#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) November 13, 2020
