Calendar

Tracking time is often a critical need for people. Days to holidays, days of work, how long one works, figuring out the costs for travel, and more all depend on knowing much about time.

A digital calendar is available that incorporates weather by region:

The Typical Year on Wyrlde starts the day of the Spring Equinox. The Midyear is celebrated on the Summer Solstice. A year is 364 days long, divided into 13 months of 28 days each. Each month has four weeks. That year has four seasons over much of the world, two in the tropics. These are marked by the solstices and equinoxes. The year is set by the moons and their passage through the firmament. Twice a year (Meadow 1st and Harvest 1st) there are nights with only new moons, called Blacknights. They are holidays. Seasons are 13 weeks long.

There are 13 months, each consisting of 28 days, each year. The last day and the first day of each year are given to the New Year Festival, throughout the Bright Lands, often called the Empire.

The four solar events are celebrated broadly over a three-day period each, even in the Dread Lands and Hyborian lands. These are the High Holy Days. The celebrations are always the day before, the day of, and the day after. There is usually an honoring of the patron deity of the area on these dates.

Not too coincidentally, an awful lot of people celebrate birthdays around these times.

There are an assortment of local festivals and events that can vary, but a few are common enough to be worth marking. These festivals happen pretty much everywhere. The Fresh Festival is typically an Easter like event, the Heart Festival is a lover’s holiday and a time to recognize parents, and the Closing festival is about closing for the worst of winter. They are scattered throughout the year and joined by often more local festivals and celebrations.

This does exclude holidays particular to different Powers That Be.
