Hi All

Peter M.

        I suspect that the Kralori Calendar dates to before the Sun-Stop not before time (as stated in obviously false works by AH). After all we know that time was changed and the years were shorter after that event. Perhaps we are missing a whole season (8 weeks). That would make a 50 week year for the Theylans. What element would that season represent? (Moon or Chaos?)

BTW does anyone know why the order of the seasons is wrong?

It should obviously be:

Dark	Deep Winter	
Sea	Spring
Earth	Early Summer
Fire	Late Summer/Early Autumn
Storm	Late Autumn/Early Winter

        The suposed paradox WRT to Chalana Arroy & SB & the Devil is the result of misinformed scholars who have confused Wakboth (the Devil in the Storm Bull story who is merely trapped under the Block and not dead, therefore never went to Hell!) with Kajabor, Entropy, God-Killer. Because Time was formed from Kajabor we automatically age, we forget things and generally things get worn out with use (rather than slowly getting more fit for the purpose).

Thus Chalana Arroy can heal Storm Bull's wounds and then wander down to Hell to await Kajabor who was killed later.

Cheers
