Calendar

Months of the Year

The 12 months of the Anuirean calendar begin with the Day of Rebirth, the vernal equinox. The month Sarimiere is the first of the new year, followed by Talienir, then Roelir. After Haelyn's Festival, the month of Haelynir begins. Anarire and Deismir (named after the battle of Deismaar, final battle of the Shadow war, also known as the Gods War) follow in succession, with the Veneration of the Sleeping next. Erntenir, the month of harvest leads to Sehnir, then Emmanir, just before the Eve of the Dead. Then comes the coldest month, Keltier which flows into Faniele, then Pasiphel, and again to the Day of Rebirth.

Days of the Week

Anuireans devote six days of the week's eight days to work, giving over the remainder to rest and leisure. Poorer Anuireans can rarely afford such luxury and work seven days although the clergy generally demand that all master give at least one days rest to all men so that they may tend to the condition of their soul.

The days, from work's beginning to rest's end, are: Firlen, Relen, Dielen, Varilen, Branlen, Barlen, Mierlen, and Taelen (called Thelen in the south west of Anuire). Taelen is called God's day by many and is the traditional day for church services and important weddings and announcements.

Switching from Warhammer to Birthright


We decided to "move" our game from the setting (and ruleset) of Warhammer to the setting of Birthright, using the DnD 5e rules. This means a few changes had to be made to make the lore and the events of the campaign so far fit with the new setting. 

Where is Ubersreik in the Birthright setting? 

Ubersreik is the capital of the province of Marchber, in the realm of Muden. The Realm of Muden is ruled by Duke Rikard Talbher. EAch province of the Realm is ruled by a Count. 

What is going on? 

Duke Rikard Talbher has occupied the city of Ubersreik for unknown motives. Count Sigismund (his cousin, called by most “Graf”, some to mock him, some because they believe he should be the Duke) is now in exile in the County of Ruelshegh, guest of his ally, Count Diterich Jager. 

Why did the Duke occupy Ubersreik? 

This is the big secret … 

What is Count Sigismund going to do about it? 

At the moment, the Count is gathering info and support to reclaim his birthright. It is very possible that this may become an opportunity to make a move on the throne and become the new Duke.
