I thought it was the Passing On of Vashanti that was so glorious, not the ascension of Yanoor. Godunya's own ascension, it must be said, cause nary a ripple in the outside world.

Alas even the Orlanthi myths talk about the Emperor, his Ten Nobles and the 294 commoners. We could work out a (silly) scheme where the Buseri calculate that the number of Nobles is constant, but the number of commoners is dependant on the epoch. For example in the Golden Age there were ten thousand commoners, in the great darkness, only a hundred commoners survived and now etc. But the problem is the number of days per year has been fixed at 294 since the Sunstop whereas the Plentonic Calendar implies that an improvement must have taken place circa 1220 ST...

Surely 29 weeks and 30 weeks? Works out to one leap week every five years.
