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...
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.
