Return of the day
Description
Due to the elliptic orbit of Atocitera around its gas giant Solkerror, there are up to two weeks in each month completely without the sunlight. The people know that they will return to the sun, but still celebrate when Atocitera leaves Solkerror's shadow and bathes in the sunlight again. The celebration during Return of the day also serves as a closure over the last month, and a transition into a new one.Occurrence
The Return of the day happens every 50 days after the weeks of the constant night, during the night of the last day in the month, and before the sunrise. The sunrise is predicted both by stars and by the appearance of the lighter edges on Solkerror.Luckily the Planners skill to calculate into the future helped create a reliable calendar including the deep nights and Returns of the days. They constantly observe changes in the facts they used to create the calendar and change it accordingly.
