The Banteavan Calendar
The Banteavan calendar is comprised of twelve months, each with twenty-eight days. The twelve months and their associated holidays (as prescribed by both the Church of the Six Saints and the druids of Trurall) are as follows:
A time for mending, planting and weaving. Winter crops are sown, while inside families huddle by the warmth of the fire, telling tales and playing games together to pass the endless winter days. In the forests, brave hunters stalk game in the hopes of adding some much-needed variety to their stewpots.
A time for ploughing and fertilizing the fields.
A time for sowing, weeding and ploughing.
A time for pruning, weeding and scaring off birds. After the majority of planting is complete, many construction projects are started in this month.
A time for weeding and scaring off birds. Flowers begin to bloom in earnest, with fallow meadows bursting with colour.
A time for shearing and harvesting the first crops. The Midsummer Festival takes place. Many marriages occur during Midyear, Heatswrath and Sunfall.
A time for ploughing and gathering.
A time for harvesting, tying and winnowing.
A time for harvesting, tying, winnowing and milling. The majority of crops are brought in, and harvest festivals across Banteave are common. The Church collects its due from the tithe barns.
A time for sowing, milling and weaving. After accounting for the harvests, many nobles look to plan for the year ahead, while smallfolk families take stock of their assets to determine if they will be able to survive the coming winter without undue hardship. The first signs of winter are in the air.
A time for butchering, salting, smoking and weaving. Snows arrive in force across much of Banteave.
A time for collecting, digging and weaving. We make our preparations for The Long Night to mark the passing of the year. Many folk use The Long Night to mark their age.
