Calendar

The calendar system is composed of months and days:

• A year has 12 months.
• A month has 31 days.

Months are named like this:

A day is composed of hours, minutes and seconds like in real life.

Time can be checked at any Inns. A watch only gives the hour.

The character joins the city on the 29th of May at 6:00 am, Year 0:

Time Span

Time elapses 15 times faster than in real life.

The correspondence between ingame and real time is the following:

If not specified, durations are ingame.

Time is stopped when paused or speeded up while working, sleeping and learning a spell. In this case, it elapses 240 times faster (1 ingame hour lasts 1 real second) and the metabolism is still updated.

Weather

1. Type

   The weather type ranges from A (sunny) to P (stormy).

   A new type is chosen when the duration of the previous one expires. The current month determines the duration and the probability a specific type is selected.
   For example, during the month of Harvest, the type 'A' has a probability of 13/16=81.25% to be selected.

   Months		Weather type																	Duration
   		Sunny				Rainy				Stormy									Duration	Average
   		A	B	C	D	E	F	G	H	I	J	K	L	M	N	O	P
   January	Rebirth	1	2	2		1	2	2		1	2	3							1 day to 5 days	3.0 days
   February	Awakening	2	3	3		1	3	3				1							12 hours to 4 days	2.3 days

   September	The Fall (*)	10	2														1		12 hours to 4 days	2.3 days

   December	Lights	4	1	2	2	1	1					1	1	1		1	1		6 hours to 3 days	1.7 days

   (*) There's 3 additional types for this month: 2 are bugged (random crash), and the last one sets a rainy weather (drops quantity of 50), with no lightning nor temperature penalty.

2. Rain ♫

   The rain strength corresponds to the number of drops falling (quantity = 24 + strength * 6):

   	Weather type
   	Sunny				Rainy				Stormy
   	A	B	C	D	E	F	G	H	I	J	K	L	M	N	O	P
   Rain strength					1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12
   Drops quantity					30	36	42	48	54	60	66	72	78	84	90	96

   Raining weather cancels the character invisilibity (see Opponent Creation).

3. Storm ♫ ♫

   The storm strength corresponds to the lightning storm frequency:

   		Weather type
   		Sunny				Rainy				Stormy
   		A	B	C	D	E	F	G	H	I	J	K	L	M	N	O	P
   Storm strength										1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8
   Lightning storm frequency	Ingame (minutes)									50 to 100	30 to 50	20 to 30	12 to 18	10 to 16	6 to 12	3 to 8	1 to 5
   	Real (seconds)									200 to 400	120 to 200	80 to 120	48 to 72	40 to 64	24 to 48	12 to 32	4 to 20

   The duration of a lightning flash is between 0.1 and 0.23 second.

4. Palette

   2 palette types are used to simulate the day/night cycle:

   • one for sunny weather:

     0		1		2		3		4		5		6		7		8		9		10		11		12		13		14		15		16		17		18		19		20		21		22		23

   • one for cloudy weather (rainy or stormy):

     0		1		2		3		4		5		6		7		8		9		10		11		12		13		14		15		16		17		18		19		20		21		22		23

   Each column represents half an hour, from 00:00 on the left side to 23:30 on the right. Every 30 minutes, the palette shifts to the next column.

Temperature

Several factors affect the weather temperature:

• the current month
• the current weather type
• the current time

The temperature is obtained by combining each of these factors:

• T (°F) = month base temperature + weather type temperature variation + time temperature variation

The result is bounded by 0°F (-17.8°C) and ranges up to 106°F (41.1°C).

Map of Xebec's Demise (Show full size) Remarks: There are 2 shops #37 'Da Place!' (top right and bottom left) but no shop #38 'Trade Winds'. I think one of the 2 shops #37 should be #38. Near the Arena, #53 is marked as Scenario, is not accessible and already exists elsewhere. This location replaces 'Armstrong Builders (Closed by Order of the Palace)'. Near the Arena, #54 is marked as Scenario, is not accessible and already exists elsewhere. This location replaces 'Apollo Trainers (Closed by Order of the Palace)'. Near the Arena, #57 is marked as Scenario, is not accessible and already exists elsewhere. This location replaces 'Davids Weapons Trainers (Closed by Order of the Palace)'. Near the Arena, the guild #65 'Physicians' Guild.' is not accessible and already exists elsewhere (at the bottom left). This guild replaces the 13th guild 'Mercenary Guild' (Strength). Near the Arena, the guild #58 'Green Wizards' Academy.' is not accessible and already exists elsewhere (on its left). This guild replaces the 14th guild 'Power Wizards Institute' (Stamina). Palace fanfare ♫ is heard every hour on these highlighted squares: Two other fanfares ♫ ♫ exist but seem to never be used. Smithy hammer ♫ is heard up to three squares north west and 2 squares south east:
