: Prior to the Acit El calendar (the modern Myth one) which
: became widely used at the start of the Wind Age, the
: Cath Bruig used a calendar in which each year had an
: individualized name, probably (guesswork) derived from
: astronomical phenomena--Flint Deer, Eagle Falling
: Sun, and so on.
: The Heron Guards have preserved this calendar, and each
: new Heron Guard is given the year of his initiation as
: a surname, and his number within his initiate class as
: a first name. So, for instance, Five Motion Bloody
: Jaguar was the fifth initiate in the class of new
: Guards in the year of Motion Bloody Jaguar, whenever
: that was.
: (This all comes from GURPS--except the bit about how they
: named their years, which is theory. However they did
: it, it was a standardized and easily duplicable
: process, since the Heron Guards have been able to keep
: figuring out the old-style name of the year even in
: this modern period.
That's very interested, Sili; thank you very much. Btw, how much does GURPSMyth cost?
Do you think I can make up my own system based on this information that doesn't contradict anything? Could some of those words be months and the other years (like month of Motion, year of Bloody Jaguar)?
