《Silvergates: Northworld (Book 1 complete)》Appendix: Timeline
Advertisement
The calendar of Northworld is not entirely aligned with the Earth one. Northworld’s days are 24 hours and 19 Earth minutes long, but its year is 358 days 2/3rd, so a Northworld year is 2 days shorter than an Earth one – and has a leap year two years out of three.
The Northworld months are all 30 days long, except December which is 28 or 29 days, depending on the year. The Earth month names have been kept, but the seasons are slightly shifted: Northworld winter solstice occurs on Jan 25th, spring equinox is on April 25th, the summer solstice on July 24th and autumn equinox on October 24th. This is due to the fact that no one knew anything about seasons when they started tracking time. The beginning of Northworld’s year is not aligned with Earth’s (Jan 1st on Northworld falls in mid-March as of Y6).
As Northworld has a small rotation tilt of 9 degrees only, the seasons are relatively less marked than on Earth.
