Graedd — a festival day, The Gratitude. Falls between Abwynd and Gaedhr. Belongs to no month.
Notes
Autumn equinox. Marks the passage from the Station months to the City months. Observed rather than dated: each city-state declares the day by its own reckoning, so the festivals fall on different days in different cities and no two agree exactly. The five festival days sit outside the eight months, which is why the year is 365 days while the months account for only 360.
