Accurate Date of Swallowtail Festival?


Rise of the Runelords


I have Starday, 1st of Rova, 4707. Is this correct?


The writer has stated that the date is left deliberately ambiguous, so that GMs can play later in a timeline if they have played other APs, etc.

If you're a perfectionist, the date you have selected is a popular one. There is some disagreement as to whether it begins on the Autumnal Equinox or the first day of Rova. I believe there's even a printed contradiction.


Would I be asking this question if I were not a perfectionist?

Thanks for the input.


I went for a "compressed" calender of events since my players were moving fairly fast:

1st Goblin attack: Swallowtail festival, Autumn Equinox 22nd of Rova.

Following events: 1 or 2 days appart from one another.

Possible time I used for the big attack on Sandpoint:

1) The night of Sunday 30th of Rova to Moonday 1st of Lamashatan since it made an auspicious night for "Destruction by Monsters".

2) 30th of Lamashtan: "Allborn" special day for Lamashtu.

My players went to Thistletop on the morning of the 27th of Rova and just got Nualia (last game) on the morning of the 28th.
