The year started with spring and the hilarious "Spring Break". The trouble was that it conflicted totally with the previous products - for some odd reason spring would be three months earlier in a northern highlands country! This didn't make much sense. I had already made the change before seeing the Almanacs. The writers of the Gazetteer series stuck with the calendar&weather combination that was established in the Karameikos Gazetteer and Night's Dark Terror module (which one was earlier? both introduce the calendar). This left the Glantrian calendar as a curiosity. But this was surely not the last time that continuity control of the series broke down...

It was going to be included with the "Newbie Guide to Mystara", but I think that project pretty much died. I'd be happy to send it to be uploaded to any mapping sites. No use having it go to waste! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joaquin Menchaca" To: Sent: Tuesday, January 04, 2005 6:13 PM Subject: Re: [MYSTARA] Voting for your next maps > My vote is for Known World (pre WotI). > > > > > __________________________________ > Do you Yahoo!? > The all-new My Yahoo! - What will yours do? > http://my.yahoo.com > > ******************************************************************** > The Other Worlds Homepage: http://www.wizards.com/dnd/OtherWorlds.asp > The Mystara Homepage: http://www.mystaranet.jamm.com/vaults/default.aspx > To unsubscribe, send email to LISTSERV@ORACLE.WIZARDS.COM > with UNSUB MYSTARA-L in the body of the message. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 5 Jan 2005 21:01:31 -0500 From: Dan Eustace Subject: Re: Glantrian calendar IIRC, the Alphatian year starts on the 1st day of spring (1st day of 3rd month in Thyatian calendar). ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ville Lähde" To: Sent: Wednesday, January 05, 2005 4:09 AM Subject: [MYSTARA] Glantrian calendar > About the change in the Glantrian calendar: > > Indeed, in the Glantri Gazetteer the calendar was very different.
