Roko Joko Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 I wanted to understand the Gloranthan calendar better, so I aligned the solstices and equinoxes to Earth's and came up with this table. The lineup was never quite intuitive when you have 4 seasons that are like the regular ones, plus 1¼ extra. This is cool; I never knew Storm 1st was January 1st, for example. Glorantha-Earth calendar alignment based on solstices and equinoxes(Northern hemisphere). Earth day = 87 + (1.2415 x Glorantha day). (365/284 = 1.2415.) Glorantha day = (Earth day - 87) x 0.8055. (284/365 = 0.8055.) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Sea Season: Sea 1 Mar 28 April late Spring Sea 29 May 2 May----------------------------------------------------------------------- Fire Season: Fire 1 Jun 7 June early Summer Fire 12 Summer solstice Fire 29 Jul 12 mid-July to mid-August----------------------------------------------------------------------- Earth Season: Earth 1 Aug 15 mid-August to mid-Sep late Summer, early Fall Earth 29 Sep 19 October Earth 30 Fall equinox----------------------------------------------------------------------- Dark Season: Dark 1 Oct 24 November early Winter Dark 29 Nov 28 December Dark 47 Winter solstice ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Storm Season: Storm 1 Jan 1 January late Winter Storm 29 Feb 5 February----------------------------------------------------------------------- Sacred Time: Sacred 1 Mar 13 mid-March early Spring Sacred 9 Spring equinox ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 7 3 Quote What really happened?

HeartQuintessence Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 I like this. Good job! It gives me more aof a sense what things look like, when they should be happening for my story ( which is happening during both Sacred Time & Sea Season). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir_Godspeed Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 This aligns pretty well with the descriptions in the Guide. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
