| CALENDAR NOTES FOR THE YEAR 1302 The first day of Midwinter, 1302, falls on a Hammertong (which is equivalent to a Tuesday on Earth). The last day of the year, 28 Wintercome, also happens to fall on the first day of the full moon phase for Trinith, and has been heralded by many sages as having a very important meaning. Great celebrations are being planned for that evening, as the New Year celebration on Trinith is the largest holiday of the year. |
