Wenbight Calendar

Wenbight's culture and economy is deeply tied to the land, and the cycles of the life within it. Because of this, the folk of Wenbight make little use of the Holleric Calendar, but instead break their year into six seasons:

Braith
Budding season. Deciduous trees begin to bud. Migratory birds fly in from the South. Snow melts.

Erroch
Blooming Season. Deciduous buds burst into leaves, flowers bloom, and birds mate and start nesting. Lots of rain!

Soer
Sowing Season. Hottest days of the year. Deciduous leaves are fully green. Fruit trees bear. Eggs hatch and birds raise their young. River banks rise as mountain snow finally melts.

Doeyn
Work Season. Crops are tended and young birds reach maturity. Tree leaves begin to turn color.

Fomhar
Harvest Season. Tree leaves fully turn, die, and fall. Birds begin to migrate South.

Troschad
Dead Season. Coldest days of the year. Snow begins to fall. Fallen leaves decay. Some animals hibernate.

Months
Months are defined by the waxing and waning of the moon, and thus do not line up with the changing of the seasons. They are generally used for thinking about recently passed events, not when planning for the future. Months do not have names in Wenbight - since the moon's cycles do not line up with the seasonal cycles, the number of months in a year can vary, and thus a monthly calendar would be useless.
