Time!!... a dialouge on the time system in progress....

365 turn

10 x 36 days = passing

5 extra - “dark time” – it is a spiritual time where people ward and fires are always burning

(winter’s end) - ?

(spring) Dawning is the “first” month (when saying your age it is your “21st dawning” or “14th dawning”

(late spring/early summer) - ?

(summer) Fox passing ends with midsummer

(late summer/early autumn) - ?

(late autumn) Wolf passing ends with dragon’s passing

(winter) Dragon’s passing ends with the onset of the “dark time”

Dragon is because it is so cold that when you aren’t covered it almost feels hot, the snow and frost is like fires sweeping the land, killing tender things that aren’t protected. Frost damaged plants can go black...

9 day “week”? I don’t think they have weeks... if they did it would be 4 x 9 days per passing... no, Elyniah doesn’t have weeks... It seems they work on the days of the passings... therefore when they talk about doing something they name the “date” as it were... (“When are you leaving?” “34th day of the Dawning”) Or something like that, I’m open for adaption but the five day “dark time” feels very right...

Clerical groups live in accordance to spiritual days ergo clerics can keep us up to date on time.

“Magic” ones also keep up on the dates, each passing is noted and all that. I believe Adele celebrates the passings,

Festivals marking seasonal passing

Each has particular songs etc.
