# 2026-04-01 - The Quarter of Spells, Map Updates, & Calendars

Intro



### Calendar

The world of Hiraeth has been around for more than a decade, as I grow and gain better skills in the world change and grow with me. Sometimes things I wrote in a math classroom when I should have been working on schoolwork in May 13 years ago is one of them. The calendar is one of the many things that have changed over the years, and I hope for the better. This is a small change but I think will have a good impact on play at the table. Renaming the days of the week and months to be less alien and forced, the goal is to make days and months titles feel more special and also have some holidays be.

operates on a mathematically perfect 360-day solar year. Every day represents exactly one degree of planetary rotation around the sun.

For the common folk, scholars, and adventurers, the calendar is a blend of ancient divine reverence and practical, everyday terminology.

#### Days of the Week
A standard week in Hiraeth now consists of a 10-day cycle, commonly referred to as a "tenday." While scholars and the devout use the ancient divine names, commoners use simplified, modern terms that closely mirror the real world. The weekend consists of the final two days, dedicated to hearth, home, and sunlight.

| Day # | Ancient Name | Common Name | Origin / Meaning |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| 1 | Pythda | Lyday | Named for Pythia, Goddess of Life. The start of the work week. |
| 2 | Loronda | Moonday | Named for Loron, Goddess of the Moon. A day transitioning out of the weekend's rest. |
| 3 | Minda | Minday | Named for Minos, God of Time. |
| 4 | Voida | Wanesday | Named for Voidos, God of Space (the waning void). |
| 5 | Giada | Earthday | Named for Gia, Guardian of the Land. The peak of the agricultural workweek. |
| 6 | Matda | Forgeday | Named for Matrix, the Anvil of Destiny. A day of heavy labor, crafting, and industry. |
| 7 | Ethearda | Starday | Named for Etherea, Goddess of the Stars. |
| 8 | Nyda | Freeday | Named for Nyx, Goddess of Night. The final workday. |
| 9 | Hestda | Hearthday | Named for Hesta, Goddess of the Hearth. A day of rest and family. |
| 10 | Bethda | Sunday | Named for Bethtox, God of the Sun. A day of celebration and worship. |

---

#### The Calendar Year: Seasons and Months
The calendar is built around a 364-day year. This is divided into exactly **360 standard days** (organized into 12 months) and **4 Quarter Days** that mark the shifting of the seasons. 

Together, solstices and equinoxes are traditionally known as Quarter Days. To fit the 360-degree rotation and these 4 Quarter Days, each season operates on an identical 91-day structure:
1. It begins with **1 Day Outside a Month** (the seasonal Quarter Day).
2. It is followed by **two 30-day months** (exactly three tendays each).
3. It concludes with **one 29-day month**.

##### Months vs. Zodiacs
It is important to note that **the calendar months are not the Zodiacs**. The months are simply the periods of time used to track the year. 

The Zodiacs (often referred to in different cultures as "The Sky Signs" or "The Ascendants") are the dominant celestial constellations that happen to be visible in the night sky during those specific months. For example, a person born in the month of *Novnus* is born under the *Zodiac of The Matrix*, but the month itself is distinct from the stars overhead.  Zodiacs are a possible mechanic in PC creation we are still expirementing with.

#### Winter (The Stillness)
**Quarter Day (Day Outside a Month):** The Nadir 

| Month # | Ancient Name | Common Name | Days | Dominant Zodiac |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **1** | Novnus | Deepwinter | 30 | The Matrix (The Hero) |
| **2** | Ultcicero | Dawning | 30 | The Son (The Prince) |
| **3** | Concis | The Thaw | 29 | The Phoenix |

#### Spring (The Growth)
**Quarter Day (Day Outside a Month):** The Vernal Awakening 

| Month # | Ancient Name | Common Name | Days | Dominant Zodiac |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **4** | Rifis | Springtide | 30 | The Frog |
| **5** | Inder | Monsoon | 30 | The Hammer |
| **6** | Gradum | Greengrass | 29 | The Leaf |

#### Summer (The Heat)
**Quarter Day (Day Outside a Month):** The Zenith 

| Month # | Ancient Name | Common Name | Days | Dominant Zodiac |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **7** | Tristis | Highsun | 30 | The Horse |
| **8** | Mutare | The Turn | 30 | The Ship |
| **9** | The Watcher | The Harvest | 29 | The Iris |

##### Fall (The Fading)
**Quarter Day (Day Outside a Month):** The Autumnal Balance 

| Month # | Ancient Name | Common Name | Days | Dominant Zodiac |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **10** | Umbra | Leaf-fall | 30 | The Cart |
| **11** | Galious | First Frost | 30 | The Snow Wolf |
| **12** | Nocturum | Year's End | 29 | The Knights |
### Map Changes

The Map has undergone some massive changes over the last year.  New countries added, coastlines refined, and the map fleshed out.  You can see the changes here.

#### Harold Ford is an island now?

#### RoseWin's coast is more sweeping and mashy.

#### 

### New Level Up Word
In order to build out the rites of our D&D group I put forward an anitive to come up with what we say and so dor level up Scott choose the word "**Bojangles**" and Wicke choose the sound from Final Fantasy.

### The BIBLE **2.0**!

What started off as a collection of google docs moved to a Obsidan folder syned via git has balloned to include charecter options, out dated world lore, and so much more.  It is time for a soft reset.  This might mean I ask for more info sometimes or help filling in some details.

I plan for this not be a shadow wiki but more of a more advanced stratchpad without the granulare details.

### New Game Style Done
Some of you know that I have been engaging with a 1:1 diplomacy style game where you were a head of state. Surprise, that was actually a group game!  The other states were played by other players.  I thought it would be in good fun and some of you in my Friday game have already seen these conflicts really cause a trickling effect.

## Spells Added
Bello in the drop down is a list of all the new spells added, their levels, school, people that can use them and a short discription.

# 2026-07-01 - Spell Search, and the Mid-Summer Wiki Refresh

The Hiraeth wiki has a lot more to work with this summer. The biggest update is the spell library: the *Athenaeum Aetherius* now has **<span style="text-decoration: underline;">1,842</span> spell pages** live across cantrips and 1st-9th level magic, backed by a standalone spell-search tool, broader tags, and a few rounds of cleanup. If you have not checked the spell tools in a while, start here:

- [Spell Search](https://jsnj.link/hag-spell-search)
- [Athenaeum Aetherius spell book](https://www.hiraeth.wiki/books/athenaeum-aetherius-compendium-of-arcane-grimoires)

### Spell Library Snapshot

The current spell-book snapshot includes:

- **169** cantrips
- **234** 1st-level spells
- **342** 2nd-level spells
- **301** 3rd-level spells
- **240** 4th-level spells
- **188** 5th-level spells
- **130** 6th-level spells
- **99** 7th-level spells
- **70** 8th-level spells
- **69** 9th-level spells

Most of that work landed in June, with **1,214 documented spell-page creates**, **219 existing spell pages confirmed instead of duplicated**, **85 existing-page content refreshes**, **151 metadata/tag fixes**, and **66 legacy duplicate pages removed**.

### Spell Search Is Now A Front Door

The point of adding this much spell content is not just to make the wiki bigger. It should be faster to answer table questions like:

- What can I cast with a bonus action?
- Which spells deal fire, force, radiant, or psychic damage?
- Which options are concentration, ritual, teleportation, summoning, or resurrection spells?
- What can a class list actually access at a specific level?
- Which spells force a Dexterity, Wisdom, Constitution, or Intelligence save?

The new search work supports normal text searches plus structured filters for spell level, school, class/list, source, role, damage type, condition, save, attack, action, duration, range, area, component, and mechanic tags.

### Tags and Table Review

The June tagging pass covered the full spell book. These tags are meant to make spells easier to find by use at the table: damage, healing, control, movement, protection, teleportation, summoning, upcasting, costly components, concentration, and similar practical buckets.

There is also a new cantrip review to help with table safety. The audit reviewed **169 cantrips** and sorted them into:

- **74** official or partner baseline cantrips
- **37** likely-fine cantrips
- **40** watch/review cantrips
- **18** potentially too-strong cantrips

That is not an automatic ban list. It is a review tool, we are slowly working on reviewing these potentially too-strong cantrips - shockingly they mostly come from Kobold Press books which I felt historically their content was fairly balanced.`

### A Recent Timeline

The wiki existed well before this update window, but I wanted to make announcements like more regular and in late 2025 is a useful marker for the current wave of work. *Rebels of Eschatia* setup started around November and December. Since then, the spell library and campaign-reference tools have grown quickly.

- **November-December:** useful recap marker for Rebels setup and pre-game material. The wiki itself predates this.
- **January:** early 2026 page work, spell/chapter cleanup, and the start of the active Rebels session archive.
- **February:** 33 documented local spell-page creates, plus more early Rebels session summaries.
- **March-April:** continued setting, lore, cantrip, and spell-reference work.
- **May:** more campaign-summary cleanup, including the Jade Creek and Blight stretch.
- **June:** the major spell-library sprint, high-level spell verification, duplicate cleanup, tag verification, and spell-search work.

### Campaign Catch-Up

For Rebels of Eschatia players, the session archive is also easier to use now. The exported archive currently runs from **s01: The Silence of the Thorn** on January 16 through **s15: The Soul-Pull in the Deep** on June 20.

Start with the full arc index, or jump into the most recent Underdark sessions:

- [Rebels of Eschatia - Arc One](https://www.hiraeth.wiki/books/rebels-of-eschatia/chapter/1-the-paper-cage)
- [s13: The Unfiled Witness](https://www.hiraeth.wiki/books/rebels-of-eschatia/page/s13-the-unfiled-witness)
- [s14: The Mirror-Salt Road](https://www.hiraeth.wiki/books/rebels-of-eschatia/page/s14-the-mirror-salt-road)
- [s15: The Soul-Pull in the Deep](https://www.hiraeth.wiki/books/rebels-of-eschatia/page/s15-the-soul-pull-in-the-deep)

The story links now give players a faster way to catch up on Aelion Thorne's execution, Eleni's rescue, the flight from Stomion, the Silver Branch Circus rescue, the Cat and Hound, Cato's Oathblade trouble, Jade Creek and The Static, the corrupted mine, the myconid refuge, Thara, Selen Von, and the turn toward the Ossuarian dig.

### Other Useful Links

- [Interactive Hiraeth map](https://map.hiraeth.wiki/)
- [Main wiki](https://www.hiraeth.wiki/)
- [Spell Search](https://spell-search.hiraeth.wiki/)

If you have been away from the wiki for a bit, the best way back in is simple: try the spell search, skim the recent Rebels summaries if you need campaign context, and use the map when locations start stacking up. The recent work is about making the wiki easier to use during play, not just larger.

# HAG launches Watch site & continued cleanup

**Aug. 4, 2026**

<p class="callout info">**Recordings will move to watch.hiraeth.wiki as spells, subclasses and other resources receive setting-focused updates.**</p>

<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The Hiraeth Adventuring Guild is moving its video and audio recordings from a third-party hosting service to its own PeerTube instance at </span>[watch.hiraeth.wiki](https://watch.hiraeth.wiki).

PeerTube is an open-source video platform. Operating our own instance gives HAG greater control over how campaign recordings are organized, presented and preserved.

<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The main </span>**Rebels of Eschatia**<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> recording archive is now available on the new instance. A small number of remaining recording fragments will be recovered and added as they become available. New campaign recordings will be added to PeerTube moving forward.</span>

The previous host will remain available, but new recordings will not be stored there long term.

### Recording access and privacy

Recordings are available only to people with accounts on the HAG PeerTube instance. The instance is not federated, meaning its recordings are not shared with or distributed through other PeerTube servers.

Players can request an account through their private One-on-One Discord channel.

The PeerTube player provides an audio-only playback option for listeners who do not need video. Captions and chapter markers will be added as our recording and publication process develops.

[![The HAG PeerTube video library](https://www.hiraeth.wiki/uploads/images/gallery/2026-08/scaled-1680-/TdlDAs5tGRWPaUKg-image.png)](https://www.hiraeth.wiki/uploads/images/gallery/2026-08/TdlDAs5tGRWPaUKg-image.png)

## Bringing spell lore home to Hiraeth

<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">We are also preparing a naming and flavor-text review of the </span>[**Athenaeum Aetherius: Compendium of Arcane Grimoires**](https://www.hiraeth.wiki/books/athenaeum-aetherius-compendium-of-arcane-grimoires).

The review identified 93 entries containing names or descriptions inherited from settings outside Hiraeth, more might be out there. These include character names associated with Greyhawk and the Forgotten Realms, places from Eberron, references to other D&amp;D worlds and creatures from the Cthulhu Mythos.

The proposed changes would give those spells descriptive or Hiraeth-specific identities. The full proposal appears below.

<p class="callout warning">**These changes are not final.**<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> The proposed spell names are being shared for player review and have not yet been published. This is a lore and presentation project; spell mechanics are not expected to change.</span></p>

</details>### Proposed flavor-text revisions

The following spells would retain their current titles, but references to outside settings in their descriptions would be replaced:

- [**Blade of Disaster**](https://www.hiraeth.wiki/books/athenaeum-aetherius-compendium-of-arcane-grimoires/page/blade-of-disaster)**:**<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> Remove its reference to Faerûn.</span>
- [**Dream of the Blue Veil**](https://www.hiraeth.wiki/books/athenaeum-aetherius-compendium-of-arcane-grimoires/page/dream-of-the-blue-veil)**:**<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> Replace Oerth, Toril, Krynn and Eberron with “another mortal world known to the caster.”</span>
- [**Plane Shift**](https://www.hiraeth.wiki/books/athenaeum-aetherius-compendium-of-arcane-grimoires/page/plane-shift)**:**<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> Replace the City of Brass and Dispater with Hiraeth-compatible planar examples.</span>
- [**Semblance of Dread**](https://www.hiraeth.wiki/books/athenaeum-aetherius-compendium-of-arcane-grimoires/page/semblance-of-dread)**:**<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> Replace Nyarlathotep with imagery associated with Waymaker or Narfars.</span>
- [**Summon Avatar**](https://www.hiraeth.wiki/books/athenaeum-aetherius-compendium-of-arcane-grimoires/page/summon-avatar)**:**<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> Replace its four Cthulhu Mythos avatars with the proposed Hiraeth versions.</span>
- [**Wish**](https://www.hiraeth.wiki/books/athenaeum-aetherius-compendium-of-arcane-grimoires/page/wish)**:**<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> Replace Sigil and the Lady of Pain with a limit grounded in Hiraeth’s cosmology.</span>

Names such as Hecate, Nyx, Morana, Bethtox, Guin, Hypatia, Winrich and Gaer are not included in this cleanup because they already have established places in Hiraeth’s lore.

Spell levels, casting times, ranges, damage, saving throws and other mechanics are not expected to change as part of this pass.

The proposed names remain under review. Players will have an opportunity to share their thoughts before any changes are published.

## Subclass titles updated

Several subclass titles have already been revised to remove setting-specific terminology or distinguish options that previously shared a title.

</th><th>Current title

</td></tr><tr><td>Oath of the Magistrati

</td><td>[Oath of the Sacred Ars](https://www.hiraeth.wiki/books/galavants-guide-to-adventuring/page/oath-of-the-sacred-ars)

</td></tr></tbody></table>

<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The separate, non-vehicle </span>**Smuggler**<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> subclass retains the title </span>**Smuggler**.

These are catalog and lore changes. The subclasses’ game mechanics remain unchanged.

The Banneret page also received new Hiraeth-focused lore. “Banneret” is a catalog term rather than a universal title within the setting. Depending on their culture and position, someone filling that role might instead be called a knight-captain, standard-bearer, marshal, proxy, envoy or another appropriate title.

## Other recent updates

The past two months have also brought several additions to HAG’s player resources:

- <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The spell library now provides searchable access to 1,842 spells through the </span>[Spell Search page](https://www.hiraeth.wiki/books/athenaeum-aetherius-compendium-of-arcane-grimoires/page/0-search). The library also received improved tags and a completed first-pass cantrip review.
- Two creature-reference appendices now provide 115 familiar and summoned-creature stat blocks. Links have been added to 55 spells that use those creatures.
- <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The </span>[HAG Ancestry System v4](https://www.hiraeth.wiki/books/hiraeth-adventuring-guild-ancestry-system-v40)<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> is available for playtesting, with expanded ancestry, lineage and regional heritage options. It is not complete, and we are looking for feedback on its overall shape and approach.</span>
- <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The </span>**Rebels of Eschatia**<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> archive now includes sessions through Session 19, “Silver in the Drain.”</span>
- The interactive Hiraeth map received additional artwork and location updates, including refreshed artwork for Astrousia.

These projects share a common goal: making HAG’s resources easier to find, easier to understand and more firmly grounded in Hiraeth.

## Share your thoughts

Players are invited to review the proposed spell names and tell us:

- Which replacements feel right?
- Which names need more work?
- Which spells would benefit from descriptive titles instead of connections to Hiraeth figures?
- Are any familiar names worth retaining as table shorthand?

General feedback can be replied to in the comments of this post. Players may also share feedback privately through their One-on-One Discord channel.

PeerTube account requests should be made through your One-on-One channel.
