Feb 21, 2012 22:08:09 I'm starting an Eberron campaign shortly that begins on the 5th anniversary of the Treaty of Thronehold. Now... I'm a very technical kind of guy. And I love the idea that the planes are coterminous and remote at specific times of the year. In particular, this will play out interestingly when the players realize that magic acts differently at different times of the year. The wonderful thing is that Wizards put up a calendar and planar cosmology tool. It is BRILLIANT. But the thing is, for me to properly follow the planes, I need to have a specific date for the Treaty of Thronehold. It's clear that it was signed in 996 YK, but does anyone know if there was a month and day given anywhere? (It'd be even better if anyone had the day of the week, but that's less important.)

EDIT) Sharn: City of Towers does, in fact, list a date of 11 Aryth. So that simply leaves day of the week, which, while it has no bearing on the planar cosmology... would make me happy to know

Hey Ender!

Days of the week are easy. All months only have 28 days, and 4 7-day weeks, even. I forget the Eberronian names for the days of the week, but the first of every month is "Sunday". So the 11th day of the month is always the 4th day of the week, which would be "Wednesday", or.. I think it's "Wor"? "Wir"?

Feb 22, 2012 22:07:19 You know, it didn't even occur to me that the first day of the calendar would be Sul! Wow, I suppose that should have been obvious :P

Although, one could argue that perhaps the days of the week were in place before the Galifar Calendar, but I suspect that is not the case. Thanks!
