The Year

The Pol year is divided into two main seasons and one minor season.

They are

Winter
Summer
Glade

Years are counted in Winters past and a period from a major event. As in “he is 3 winters” and date a year by saying “five winters after the Battle of Svolder”.
Different locals may have differing measurements, for example
- Newfeld will date many things from its founding while other locations may date from some other local event.
- at the time of the Boiling Flood Newfeld ranged it was the 623 winters after founding. However the Boiling Flood was such a significant event many began counting from that date.
