This is the calendar of the WoT world, also included is a comparison of our calendar. This is made possible through the first day of the Feast of Lights on the 28th of Danu being the shortest of the year, the winter solstice being the 21st of December, therefore allows the WoT calendar to be aligned with ours. The WoT calender makes up for the lack of a 365th day by Sunday being excluded from Amadaine (but it would be the 14th of that month), making 365. The leap year is taken care of by the Feast of Thanksgiving once every four years at the spring equinox and the Feast of All Soul's Salvation at the autumn equinox every ten years.
You can now check for the feasts and holidays from your part of the WoT world and add them to your RPs, or just celebrate with your friends at the NWT. To get dates IRL, just add the number in the Date column to the number in the Month Start column (I'll do that soon too).
Full descriptions of all holidays and feasts will follow soon (when I have time to make up the page properly. I'll probably create pages for each event, linked to the name and one of all of the events together.
