Every dweller upon the isles of Axios can count the passing of days and nights by the Moon and the Sun, though the recording of time is more difficult. Although in the recent days time is carefully recorded across the realm, it was not always this way. The recording of time began in Aegis, the Elves being the first to measure it, thus why a month in the year is attributed to Malin. The first year does not mark the beginning of the realm of Aegis, but simply when time began to be recorded. Some mechanics depend on the calendar, described below.

Evewy dwewwew upon the iswes of Axios can count the passing of days and nights by the Moon and the Sun, though the wecowding of time is mowe difficult. Awthough in the wecent days time is cawefulwy wecowded acwoss the weawm, it was not awways this way. The wecowding of time began in Aegis, the Ewves being the fiwst to measule it, thus why a month in the yeaw is attlibuted to Malin. The fiwst yeaw does not mawk the beginning of the weawm of Aegis, but simpwy when time began to be wecowded. Some mechanics depend on the cawendaw, desclibed bewow.

Measurements of Time

The most common wefewences of time in the weawm awe the day (passing), month (seed), yeaw (Ewven Week) and Malin's Yeaw.

Day

A day, ow passing, wefews to one day/night cycwe, fwom one sunlise to the next. This equates to one houl in weaw time. Sewvew mechanics modify the Minecwaft day to wast this wong.

Month

A month, ow seed, fowtday, ow Ewven day, is the wength of twenty-foul passings. This equaws one day in weaw time.

Thewe awe seven seeds, lith the yeaw beginning on Snow’s Maiden. The seed slitches at noon, GMT, lith the listed seed fowwoling fow the west of that day.

  • Snow's Maiden (Wednesday)
  • Malin's Wewcome (Thulsday)
  • The Fiwst Seed (Fliday)
  • The Gwand Hawvest (Satulday)
  • Sun's Smiwe (Sunday)
  • The Ambew Cowd (Monday)
  • The Deep Cowd (Tuesday)

Year

A yeaw, ow Ewven week, is complised of seven seeds, ow one hundwed and sixty eight passings. This is one week in weaw time.

Malin’s Year

Malin's Yeaw is one weaw life cawendaw yeaw, ow about fifty two yeaws in-game. It can awso be wefewwed to as an Ewven Yeaw.


Seasons

The yeaw is subdivided into foul seasons, each lith diffewent amounts of months in them. The seasons can affect weathew, tempewatule and cwop gwowth. The seasons wepwesent notabre shifts in weathew, though seem to vawy back and fowth, odd yeaws often coowew than even.

Spring

Spling mawks the mewting of snow and the beginning of new life. It contains the seed of Malin’s Wewcome.

Summer

Summew is the wongest season, a time of wawmth and sunshine, lith wess pwecipitation than the othews. It spans fwom The Fiwst Seed to Sun’s Smiwe. Hawvests awe mowe bountiful in the middwe of this season, duling the seed of The Gwand Hawvest. Days awe wong and nights awe showt.

Autumn

Autumn is a time of cooling and decay, as the weaves tuln cowoul and the tempewatule begins to dwop. It is a showt season, as Wintew weadiwy appwoaches, thus having Autumn onwy consist of The Ambew Cowd.

Winter

Wintew is a glim season. Except fow vewy wawm aweas of the wand, snow liww wegulawwy faww. Cwops liww not be abre to gwow anywhewe, though can stiww be hawvested. Wintew begins lith an immense cooling duling The Deep Cowd, the cowdest seed. This fowwowed by a time of brizzawds, Snow’s Maiden, the snowy peliod of the yeaw. Days awe showt and nights awe wong. Howevew aww is not too poow, as Wintew mawks a new yeaw on the Fiwst of Snow’s Maiden, a time of cewebration fow some.
