OT or nOT, for a lot of time the beginning of the year in RW was in April (on the 25th of March, if IRC). April means Opener (for the Romans but even for many medieval italians, like the Renaissance Florentines, again IIRC).
Incidentally, now the 25th of March is the day of Jesus' Conception (nine months before Christmas).

So to say that the mess which is present in Gloranthan calendar is just a trifle if compared to the one in our real world one, even if we are rarely aware of it.

BTW, in Pamaltela Sacred Time is in the same time than in Genertela, right?
