Months of Centras and Their Effects

Centras has five months in it's calendar year, with each roughly related to a familiar season. Each month (except Flux) is holy to a member of the God-Claw, and each deity has their own sometimes tumultuous relationship with the various Fae Courts of Seasons who also have power during those times. Each month has 4 weeks and 28 days. There may be other modifiers or unique encounters associated with the months, but presented are the most common.

Flux, the Month of Chaos

Not a Holy Month

- Flux is a special month where pretty much anything can happen. The effects can be relatively mild, like the sun never rising or setting during the whole period. They can be whimsical, like entire populations of animals switching size or places in the food chain-jokes are still made about the blight of horse-sized ducks many Flux's ago. They can also be rather severe, like gates to hell or elemental planes suddenly popping up across the landscape, or vile necromancers appearing from seemingly nowhere with an entire army of undead.

Special:

Xan, the god of Justice, Vengeance, and Beasts has no holy month, but has his own holy day's.

- Xan's Rain, a single day of Flux on which Rain is guaranteed, is known to bless lawman and bounty hunters alike in seeking their targets, but only if the cause is truly just in the eyes of the law (those seeking the wrongly accused or innocent receive no divine aid)

- Xan's Sun, a single comparatively hot day of Winter, during which criminals can plead for forgiveness for a lessened sentence and other ongoing disputes are traditionally atoned for and those who have wronged others can safely ask for forgiveness.

- Xan's Winds, a single day of Autumn, during which bonds with animal companions are solidified and animals seem easier to rightly 'tame'.
