#14505, "Calendar/Time Bug."


          

According to HELP 1549 (Calendar), there should be 35 days each month, and the first day of each month should always be the Day of the Moon... I've not watched what happens after the end of an in-game month, but something is making the days be 1 behind the calendar. The Day of Thunder (time in game when I noticed this) should be the 11th, not the 10th, right?

I noticed this while trying to make up a calendar of when the ships I wanted to visit came into port in Hamsah.

CALENDAR DAYS WEEKS MONTHS
In the Western Lands of Thera, the calendar is based on a 595-day civil
year, divided into seventeen months each of which contains five seven-day
weeks. The tabular register of days was said to have originated in the
First Age, though the sources of its creation are lost in time. The new
year begins on the Day of the Moon, the first day of Winter; the year
ends on the Day of the Sun, the thirty-fifth day of the Month of Great
Evil. See the lists of days and months below.

The Days of the Week: The Months of the Year:
------------------------ -----------------------
1) Day of the Moon 1) Month of Winter
2) Day of the Bull 2) Month of the Winter Wolf
3) Day of Deception 3) Month of the Frost Giant
4) Day of Thunder 4) Month of the Old Forces
5) Day of Freedom 5) Month of the Grand Struggle
6) Day of the Great Gods 6) Month of the Spring
7) Day of the Sun 7) Month of Nature
8) Month of Futility
The Phases of the Moon: 9) Month of the Dragon
----------------------- 10) Month of the Sun
1) New 11) Month of the Heat
2) Waxing 12) Month of the Battle
3) Full 13) Month of the Dark Shades
4) Waning 14) Month of the Shadows
15) Month of Long Shadows
16) Month of the Ancient Darkness
17) Month of the Great Evil

An alternative calendar manufactured (through divine inspiration) by the
Church of the Elder Gods is in use in the Eastern Lands but is now
forgotten by all but the initiated clergy. The Church, though scattered
throughout the Eastern Lands, has managed to preserve and protect its
ancient texts and its method of tracking time through the movements of
the stars and heavenly bodies. The Church's calendar is said to predate
that of the Western Lands, handed down to mortal man by the servants of
the Elder Gods that man might harness the spiritual power of the Heavens
through mathematics, geometry, and astrology. This, of course, remains
mere speculation.
