Calendar System guide or explanation ?

I'm so confused with this 1st Day of X and Year X of Season.


The calendar system is so confusing.

[March]

2 days per year
Usually 3 years per season, but there are events that shorten this

I was confused at first too. It's a bit weird to not use months there instead. However, they want your mortals to grow old and die within a shorter space of time.

[tripodalt]

they live long a month and half

[procdrone]

year is basically a "month"/season. I find it little confusing as well

[tripodalt]

yes for no reason
eespecially with the timer of event that show M for minute
at first it was more logic to use day and month season year instead of day year season super year

[Eizo]

I really hope they switch to a more conventional way of tracking time.

[procdrone]

I understand they wanted to make it more original/unique, but the greatest mistake was to use words we already know, and already use them to track time. Redefining an already established word like year for what is practically a season, is going to cause tons of confusion for everyone involved.

What I would suggest, to either change the names to more fitting names, or go with a totaly random new word. like "globlubs", "rotations" etc etd.

[March]

I've been using the word "cycle" for the rotation of the seasons. It fits fairly well and makes it slightly less confusing than calling it a year.

[xobermon]

That's what we call them too.

[tripodalt]

why do you decided to skip month a name it year at first
if the age of people matter why not make their age in month then
your people died of old age at 58month ok who care its fantasy world after all

[xobermon]

The age of people does matter, that's precisely why the years pass at the rate they do.

[tripodalt]

what the problem with people age in months instead years?

[March]

Because a 60 month old dying of old age sounds super weird.

[tripodalt]

ah ok a world with no brith is less a trouble for players than a world with creature that live only 5years old
for your info their is a lot creature in real world that live less than 5yo if not the majority of them

[RonEmpire]

So basically 6 days for a season. 24 days for 1 full "cycle"
