Seasons
Each season begins 20 days before its solstice or equinox, so the astronomical marker falls on the 21st day of the season. Northern Hemisphere:
Season | Begins | Solstice / equinox (day 21) | Length |
|---|---|---|---|
Spring | 2 Acrian | Spring Equinox · 22 Acrian | 92 days |
Summer | 10 / sixth month | Summer Solstice · 2 Kelesz | 94 days |
Autumn | 20 / ninth month | Autumn Equinox · 12 / tenth month | 90 days |
Winter | 26 / twelfth month | Winter Solstice · 18 Gloomtide | 89 days |
The four lengths sum to 365 and match the default northern-hemisphere season lengths (92 / 94 / 90 / 89). New Day falls inside winter — between the close of Gloomtide and the first month — which is what carries winter to 89 days. The Southern Hemisphere flips the lengths to 90 / 89 / 92 / 94.
TODO — month names. Months 1, 2, 6, 9, 10, 11, and 12 are not yet named.
