What date is it?

Does anyone going to Maelstrom have any idea what the IC date is? I've completely lost count and 'My Maelstrom' has closed down.

Further to the Tent dilemma, the rather splendid oldnickOldNick has saved me ... all is now organised for collection tonight.

Maelstrom festival is the day after March 30th. Couldn't tell you what year it was though.

I think it’s the day after/on the 30th March 1657

Never been sure about it, but I’ve been under the impression that all the twelve months in the Maelstrom calendar are 30 days long, and the festivals start on the 30th (the Friday), the Saturday is the equinox/solstice (those four days are marked outside the months), and the Sunday is the 1st (and maybe the Monday, is the 2nd for the easter events)

And still have no idea what the year is meant to be measured by, (the Fall of the Renian Empire and the banishment of Legion?)

Matrimony – 30 March 1656 & 1 April 1657
Real World = September 06
Known World = Spring Solstice
New World = Autumn Solstice

Have had to keep dates for a certain marriage contract - have to make sure I don't have too many chicks a year and can write a financial report every quarter etc. etc. etc...

Hope this helps

Being a terribly sad RC bunny who has to produce accounts I have the whole thing on excel going back to Inauguration. The actual date of the event itself is pretty irrelevant to me, as I only really think in terms of financial quarters. The quarter subsequent to Foundation is 01/01/1657 to 30/03/1657.

Which makes it 01/04/1657 at some point this weekend.
