Title: In-game Calendar?
Post by: Sanzorizon on March 06, 2009, 06:01:14 am

Is there a date (day/month/year) system incorporated?

I was hoping to include actual dates for a 'memoir' book I'm writing in-game. So far I'm just using "Day 3," "Day 4," etc.

Even if it isn't enabled in-game, it would still be nice to know what the names are of months, days, etc. for writing in backstory perhaps.

Are there any established holidays in game?

What about some ideas for future holidays?

Outstanding!  Thanks!

Edit: This page: http://www.planeshift.it/setting.html says that each of the 4 seasons is divided into 6 different time frames, suggesting there are 24 "months".  The wiki here: http://pswiki.xordan.com/index.php/Yliakum_Calendar says there are 10 months of 32 days.  I assumed any place with so many races is likely to have different calendars recognized by different cultures, but both here somewhat purport to be the Yliakum Calendar.

Perhaps there could be some clarification.

Not sure if they`re holidays, but there are a couple of festivals mentioned in the book about Laanx in Hydlaa`s library....and there`s always player-organised festivals like the recent one.

Yliakum's government is rather dictatorial - it's likely that everyone is forced to adopt the official calendar.
