In most places the months and days are referred to in an ordinal fashion, the week is eight days long and the eighth day of each week is held aside as a day of rest. In more advanced cultures, each feast day is set aside for some deity, local hero, or other specific ceremony. So, a person might refer to the sixth day of the fourth week of the third month. In some cultures, of course, the months and even the days might bear some individual name. Note that I've regularized the year to be evenly divisible into equal months, and that I've kept the total lunar period to an even number of days. | + | *[http://forum.rpg.net/showpost.php?p=13353543&postcount=752 OOC III, #752]: [http://wiki.rpg.net/index.php/File:WyzardCalendar.jpg Here] is the calendar for the game-world. |

− | + | *Ogres are around the same earth-normal biochemistry as humans. However, I haven't actually decided if they're primates with a common ancestor to humans (like cave men) or if they're a case of convergent evolution producing a similar body plan. Taking an ogre skull is probably around the same area, morally, as the minotaur skulls. They are distant and inimical enough to humans that it's okay to do so. Taking cave-man skulls would start to get a little weird. | |

In exchange for the map, the party gave him gold and promised to retrieve a certain Veyan slave girl, identity to be revealed later. The adventurers were careful in how they worded their agreement, as many were concerned about the terms of the deal and what would happen to the girl. |
