I'd prefer it to mean "week" - that way Broyan disappeared a few weeks before the fall of Whitewall, instead of a few months before. See Dave Pearton's post.

A four-week period in Glorantha would be "half a season", wouldn't it? A convenient unit of measure between a week and a season. No doubt "month" is an anglicization of a Gloranthan term that means half-season or demi-season. Guy (Hoyle) The New World Is Born On the Walls On Whitewall. Come the
