The Calendar
Glorantha's calendar gives the world a concrete rhythm: days, weeks, seasons, festivals, and Lunar cycles can become important in a Situation.
You do not need to memorize the calendar before playing. Use it when a date, season, ceremony, or phase of the Moon actually begins to matter.
The most widespread calendar divides the year into days, weeks, and seasons, with a special two-week period called Sacred Time.
Day of the week
The days themselves bear runic names: Freeze, Water, Clay, Winds, Fire, Wild, and Gods. The day may directly matter for the Lunar Way, especially outside the Glowline.
When you need a day that has not already been established, roll 2D6. Read the first die unless you roll a double.
| Result | Day | Lunar landmark |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |  Freeze | waning crescent |
| 2 |  Water | dying moon |
| 3 |  Clay | new moon |
| 4 |  Winds | waxing crescent |
| 5 |  Fire | first quarter |
| 6 |  Wild | full moon |
| double |  Gods | last quarter |
Week
When the week is not already known, roll 1D8.
| D8 | Week |
|---|---|
| 1 |  Disorder |
| 2 |  Harmony |
| 3 |  Death |
| 4 |  Fertility |
| 5 |  Stasis |
| 6 |  Movement |
| 7 |  Illusion |
| 8 |  Truth |
Season
When the season is not already known, roll 2D20. Read the first die unless you roll a double.
| Result | Season | Landmark |
|---|---|---|
| 1–4 | Sea | spring |
| 5–8 | Fire | summer |
| 9–12 | Earth | late summer and autumn |
| 13–16 | Dark | winter |
| 17–20 | Storm | turbulent end of winter |
| double |   Sacred Time | New Year ritual period |
During Sacred Time, an even double may suggest Luck and an odd double Fate when you use this roll as a source of inspiration.
These rolls never replace a date that has already been established. They are only used when the world needs a landmark no one had yet fixed.
