I may have missed this in the book, but how long do seasons last in Esteren?

Thanks.

Why, that's a rather easy one. As you can see with the calendar on p.103 of Book 1, there are 12 months in the Tri-Kazelian calendar, with the matching names given for our real-world calendar.

Therefore, you can directly consider that the evolution of the seasons in Tri-Kazel directly follow ours.

All clear?
Allez, come on, allons-y, here we go, en avant, godspeed, hardi, let's do this!

Yep I saw that. I just wanted to make sure that it was like ours because I saw somewhere online someone saying seasons lasted years but I didn't find that in the book other than in the timeline for the one era where there was a long winter for years.

Exist a 400 years global period alternating heatweave and colder periods. in fact it seems to be more on the order of 210 years by alternation but can fluctuate a few years. On average, the trend seems to be confirmed.
The seasons are the same but average temperature fluctuate during the global period.

During cold winters may seem longer because the snow comes earlier and stays longer. Summer grain growing less and crops are less good. During some hot passes are practicable in winter and crops are generally good. By cons there is more rainfall and more catatrophic flooding.

The timeline of the game is +908 after the Oath.

-200 hot
0 cold. The Oath
220 hot
430 coldest year (during the Ice Age)
660 hot
870 cold
1100 presumed hot

I need to search again to confirm these dates but it's the line.
