Latest revision as of 15:21, 16 July 2023

UnReal World's year consists of 364 days which can be divided into 52 weeks, 12 months, 4 quarters, or winter and summer seasons. Weeks consists of 7 days and each month has 30 days. In effect, the game year only consists of 360 days and the extra days are taken from the weeks before midwinter and midsummer points, which have only 5 days.

Months are named in the following way:

Seasons Months (RL) Months (UrW) Starting day of the month Info
SUMMER




April Swidden Day 2 of 2nd week before summer season Ice melts, first day of spring

May Seedtime Day 4 of 11th week before midsummer point (Summer point 1st of Seedtime) Drying no longer possible

June Fallow Day 6 of 7th week before midsummer point First day of summer

July Hay Day 1 of 2nd week before midsummer point (Midsummer point ~14th of Hay)

August Harvest Day 5 of 11th week before winter season First day of autumn

September Fall Day 7 of 7th week before winter season
WINTER




October Dirt Day 2 of 2nd week before winter season (Winter point ~12th of Dirt) Drying becomes possible

November Dead Day 4 of 11th week before midwinter point Ice freezes, first day of winter

December Winter Day 6 of 7th week before midwinter point Snow falls, time to wear skis

January Center Day 1 of 2nd week before midwinter point (Midwinter point ~14th of Center)

February Pearl Day 5 of 11th week before summer season

March Soil Day 7 of 7th week before summer season

In game year = 364 days = 52 weeks

Half year = 182 days = 26 weeks

Quarter = 91 days = 13 weeks

Marking of Time (Encyclopedia entry)

Seasonal and climatic factors are of crucial importance for people who live off the land.
As Unreal World simulates a more ancient time that is more tied to the seasons, it also
marks in-game time differently. The old northern calendar and concept of the year we use
goes as follows:

The year is divided into two halves, summer and winter.
These halves are marked respectively by a midsummer and a midwinter point, creating four
quarters of the year. Each quarter of the year is of equal length consisting of 13 weeks
of 7 days each, for a total of 364 days in one year.

Time is also marked by twelve lunar months named to remind people about seasonal work and
duties at hand, or natural phenomenons about to take place.

People count down weeks from one quarter to the next. The beginning of a quarter is marked
as week 13. As weeks pass, the count is decreased marking the approach of the next quarter.
Counting weeks in reverse between the quarters comes from people's need to be aware of how
close the next transition period is - as changing of quarters is particularly magical time.
At the beginning of each new quarter, the people renew the count at 13 weeks.

The following month names are in use. They are correlated with Julian calendar names and
equivalent northern-hemisphere seasons for reference.

Summer:

Swidden month, Seedtime month, Fallow month   (Spring: April, May, June)
Hay month, Harvest month, Fall month,         (Summer:   July, August, September)
Winter: Dirt month, Dead month, Winter month          (Autumn: October, November, December)
Center month, Pearl month, Soil month         (Winter: January, February, March)

The week calendar starts at midwinter point. Winter months are marked in blues and summer months are in greens.
