Norrathian Days of the Week[]
Norrath utilizes a ten-day week:
Feastday (roughly equivalent to Earth's Sunday, a day of rest)
Darkday (roughly equivalent to Earth's Monday, the first day of the work week)
Burnday (the day trash is burned)
Soulday (a day of remembrance, many lives were lost throughout the Shattering, and many survivors' descendants feel honor-bound to weekly remembrance)
Windday (fresh winds and weighed anchors fill the bustling port cities with the raw stuff of industry, traditionally caravanned inland on this day)
Steelday (a day of full-blown productivity among craftsmen, the forges are lit early on this day)
Spryday (teamsters rush to deliver newly produced wares to merchantmen and the docks today, general considered the busiest day of the week)
Moorday (dockworkers load cargo onto ships destined for far-away lands)
Brewday (with much of the week's work done, attentions are turned to the local traders and merchants)
Mirthday (a final day of work, then a night of fun!)
Seasons[]
The three seasons of Norrath are imbued with a more agrarian understanding of life.
Decay (cold, damp, and windy - little of what's exposed to the weather survives)
Growth (a time of renewal, Ro seems to find his heat as Norrath blossoms)
Harvest (the peak of the warm season, when foodstuffs are gathered and stored away against the Decay)

Blossoming (Growth) -Norrath in full flower, the air warm and sweet at last.
