Sariel's Timeline of Major Events on Pern last update: 9/11/1999 Times of passes and intervals based off of timeline in DLG (which count long intervals as 450 years & makes the most sense to me). Books covered so far include Dragonsdawn , Chronicles of Pern , Moreta , Masterharper of Pern , Dragonflight , Dragonquest , Dragonsong, Dragonsinger , Dragondrums , and The White Dragon . The Pernese calendar is 362 days long, broken into 12 months, with a leap year every sixth year. I don't know when the leap day is added, but have arbitrarily decided to make the 6th and 12th months be the ones with 31 days, and the rest normally have 30. In the Northern Hemisphere, the Winter Solstice is the first day of the year, 1.1; Spring Equinox is 4.1; Summer Solstice is 7.1; and Autumn Equinox is 10.1. The seasons follow the solstices/equinoxes (i.e. winter is from 1.1 until 3.30). More about the timeline data and date conventions... Dates during passes are expressed in the following manner:

month.day.year_of_present_pass

or

month..year_of_present_pass

Dates during intervals are expressed in the following manner:
