Humanity’s arrival to this world has been long since soaked in myth, legend, and history, but it did not take them long to realize this was a far different world than the one they came from. It was both ancient but new; familiar but alien. It took years of adjusting until they finally calculated the changes in seasons and the passage of time.

 

This world revolves in an infinite pattern, exchanged between two suns, which humanity have named after the direction they rise—the Easterly Sun rises in the east and the Westerly Sun rises in the west—and this pattern of exchange revolves around a four-year cycle. Upon calculations, humanity also realized that the number of months are different depending on which sun the world revolves around, as are the seasons different. A new calendar was necessary, and a new system to track the year was established. The Easterly Year is marked as e.y., and the Westerly is marked as w.y. The seasons during this cycle are displayed as follows.
