The Planus locals, specifically the centaur tribes, still will use the ancient terms below. But they are used interchangably with the more common names of winter, spring, summer, and fall.

Snowwake

Winter, with winter solstice holidays and festivals.

Coldwane

Spring, long considered a time of rebirth.

Rimewake

Summer, with its sweltering heat on the flat plains of Planus.

Lorekeeper Notes

It's interesting, until Windtracer Tela Kioni brought back the Chasm Papers from the Long Deep. I never thought much about the names of the months. - Lorekeeper Ihodis Jenro
Or the days! I knew many had the sound of Jatari and other centaur dialects. I just never thought they might be related. - Lorekeeper Gwelunis Istril
But it was obvious. - Lorekeeper Rudigar Brockhouse
What? - Lorekeeper Gwelunis
Rudigar ... you're saying that you knew this the entire time? Translated the names and didn't mention it to anyone? - Lorekeeper Ihodis
I thought everyone knew! After all, the centaur tribes have been here much longer than anyone else. It only stands to reason their cultural thumbprint would be stamped across a concept as old and fundamental as a calendar. - Lorekeeper Brockhouse
Gwelunis... I believe he makes a good point there - Lorekeeper Ihodis
Yes, he does, and that's unusual. You seem rather clear-headed this morning, Rudigar - Lorekeeper Gwelunis
But of course! With coffee and cookies, I’m rather bright! - Lorekeeper Rudigar Brockhouse
