The Scythe Saga Timeline

The Scythian Timeline
The Scythe Saga Universe bases time around a 12 month calendar that is broken up into 5 seasons over the span of 436 days. The general measurement of time is based off The Great Scythian War, in which the terms After the Great War (AGW) and Before the Great War (BGW) are used to label or number years in the Scythian calendars.

Seasons
There are 5 total seasons in the Scythian Calendar. These seasons greatly vary in their weather and conditions. The seasonal cycles in the northern and southern hemispheres occur opposite of one another. When it is winter in the north, it is summer in the south.

Spring
At the start of every Scythian year is the springtime. This is when the snow melts and the darkness clears and life begins anew.

Summer
Many places on Scythe experience great heat waves and even droughts during the summer season. The days are at their longest and subsequently, the nights at their shortest during this, the hottest of seasons. Many cultures on the planet enjoy maritime activities and vacations from work and school schedules. It is known as the bonding months, since parents of young children are given their vacation time to bond with their kids.

Storm
Between summer and fall lies the Storm Season. In some climates, this means increased thunderstorms, monsoons, hurricanes, tornadoes, and other weather phenomena. It fluctuates wildly in terms of temperature, some times some areas even experience blizzards and early winters.

Fall
Fall is a period of time where temperatures drop, and in some regions, deciduous trees shed their leaves. At the end of fall is the world famous "Lunar Harvest" festival, a period of 10 days in which people celebrate crop harvest and alchemist and death-centric culture, as well as horror movies and video games.

Winter
In many places, Winter brings blizzards and copious snowfall. In most places, it brings a considerable temperature drop. At the tail end of Winter is a period of darkness that differs depending on region, with some seeing 5 days of darkness and others seeing 30.
