Weeks should have ten day weeks

And instead of calling them "weeks", we could call them by the much more self-explanatory term "tendays".

summer/winter solstice and the spring/autumn equinox as well as new years day are special holidays that fall between months and interrupt the week cycle

You can simplify it a little bit by putting the intercalary days between months, rather than using them for the solstices. We can put Midwinter between January 30 and February 1 and Midsummer between July 30 and August 1, in the northern hemisphere.

For the sake of putting it in a more user-friendly location, our leap day should be in the summer for the northern hemisphere (where most of the population is). So put it the day after Midsummer.

The only thing I would do differently from the Calendar of Harptos is that, like you, I would use New Year's Day as the 5th annual intercalary day.

Intercalary is one of those words I never expect to hear outside of the https://app.fantasy-calendar.com userbase

Ok, I've never heard of that site before, but I am definitely in its target market. Thanks for sharing!

the equinoxes and solstices are roughly 90 days apart anyway so we can do both :)

Calendar of Harptos actually influenced my post hehe

Right, but my point was that we shouldn't use either equinoxes or solstices, because they occur around the 21st of their month at present. It's better to put the intercalary days in between months so that a single month doesn't get awkwardly split up.
