SO:Time and Calendar System

The Time and Calendar System represent the mechanics behind the passage of time, days, weeks, months and even years in The Lays of Althas: Sundered Order.

When you're playing the game, Time and Days will pass, although at varying degrees depending on where you are and what you're doing.

Althas Calendar

The following is the planned Calendar used for the game:

Seasons per Year: 3
