#though the commander probably skipped halloween festivities that year

So, I may have figured something out for Living World seasons, at least concerning the start of each episode. It will take some guesswork to determine when each part ends, but it's something.

I worked this out using the list of releases, side stories, and this chart for the Mouvelian/Gregorian calendar.

Caveat: Dev Note - March 31st, 2015

This obviously applies to festivals unless Tyrians really love 3 week long celebrations. I'm also only considering the release month and date when translating to the Mouvelian calendar and using the years listed in the story itself (though for LWS4 the years line up well - I think this would mostly apply to gaps between expansions).

I haven't gone any further in-depth than this yet, so enjoy this long list of when events might have occurred in LWS4!

Alright, I’m just going to outsource this research to the gw2 community. It’s making my head hurt and distracting me from figuring out my characters’ timelines.

Does anyone have a fleshed out mouvelian calendar or further specifics on when festivals and important events occur?

For example, I would never have guessed that the HoT expansion only spanned 43 days if it weren’t for these journals.

Are there any other journals like these that give specific dates for events?

It’s all well and good knowing the year in which the story’s events take place but when you’re planning to write an epistolary for nano it leaves too much up in the air.
