Hi everyone

I have a question about the new calendar. Now that there are 4 weeks of 7 days, you have put :
- the 1st day balanced
- the 7th day Karrym maximum
- the 14th day balanced
- the 21th day Drellis maximum
- the 28th day balanced again (it should be only 14th and 28th balanced and not 1st, 14th and 28th balanced, but it doesn't change the spell multiplier you put)

Well it seems fine as long as we do not look at week, since they would be completely mixed. First week half-balanced half-Karrym, second week half-Karrym half-balanced, third half-balanced half-Drellis...

Woulnd't it be more sociologicaly better if week were more specific. As Karrym Drellis deeply affect there life, they could have separated week another way : first week around balanced point, second one around Karrym maximum, etc... It After all the gregorian calendar is not set from to the soltices.

Other small point.
The Ithrian name for the month were magic-related, with hints about the Drellis or Karrym effect on spells. As each month is now completely equal, it's weird to have months like "spellfade" or "magereign". Isn't it?

Technically seen maybe, but I think here weirdness lies in reality, not in fiction...
I mean, it's not uncommon for names to stay the same even if they change or lose their meaning. The real names September, October, November and December also "mean" st. like 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th, which only makes sense if you count march as first month - what we don't. But we still keep the names, and few people will actually find it weird.
And especially plants often have names that seem to imply some properties the plant does not sctually have, like wolfsbane...or a property that's not used any more, like belladonna (literally beautyful woman, since the plant extraxt widens the pupils of the eye, which once was considered an ideal of beauty in women).
I admit, both exapmles are different from the Khorasian month names, but my point is that as far as I'm concerned, such "outdated" names add flavor rather than inconsistency...
