calendar detail (Calendar)

Aethon Prime keeps its own reckoning, and it is not Earth's.

    A year is 13 months. A month is 7 weeks of 6 days — 42 days to a month,
    546 to a year. There is no leap anything; the shape does not drift.

    The months, in order:

       1  Kindling         8  Reaping
       2  Thawrise         9  Goldwane
       3  Seedwake        10  Emberfall
       4  Greening        11  Rimewatch
       5  Longlight       12  Deepfrost
       6  Highsun         13  the Guttering
       7  the Fallowmoot

    The days of a week:

       1  the Hearth
       2  the Stone
       3  the Wick
       4  the Loom
       5  the Ash
       6  the Vigil

    The year turns out of the Guttering and into Kindling. The Sundering —
    the night the surface was taken and the dungeon opened — fell on the
    38th of the Month of the Guttering, 1492, four days short of a year the
    people who lived here never reached.

    The clock runs at half real time: one game hour is two real hours, so a
    full day and night is two real days and a game week is twelve. Nothing
    you do is on that clock — it is the world's, not yours.

      time               Aliases: date. The date and hour as Aethon Prime
                         reads them, above the server's own uptime.

    Not to be confused with the 'Day N' on your box receipts and
    achievement stamps: that one counts YOUR days since your first descent
    and has nothing to do with the date above. Nor with the season number —
    Borant counts consumed worlds; 1492 is this world's own year.
