An Imperial Age sect now defunct. They were a bit like the Rokari, only
more so.

Only within Theyelan lands, to my knowledge. It would be dull (and a bit
difficult to believe, frankly) if the Malkioni didn't have their own
calendar.

I've no idea. Herigian, maybe. Or Zzabur, even.

Yes. The Malkioni are, after all, a logical people.

Absolutely. That's part of the point. The Malkioni, having originated in
Danmalastan, the kingdom of pure logic, didn't have a pagan past to
incorporate in the way that Christians did.

Malkion's life, remember, was before things such as seasons really
existed. Hence, no anniversaries of his life - although most saint's
days are anniversaries of something, as are Ascension Day and Scriptmas
(at the very least).

I wouldn't go as far as that - the names of the months are rather
weather-associated.

Indeed. While I've used both Jewish and Moslem calendars as inspiration
for the holy days, it can't really be done with the annual cycle as a
whole.

In a static Loskalm? Nowhere, to be sure, except in so far as you're

During the Hero Wars? Ah, different question...
But in general, I entirely agree - its much easier to come up with
exciting plots in Jonatela than in Loskalm.

Even Loskalmi have bad days, I'm sure :-)

Which isn't an accurate description of Loskalm anyway, IMO. At least,
not until the Hero Wars, it isn't...
