Miscellaneous Notes About Arkon

- New Year is celebrated in the Springtime, with the Vernal Equinox.  The year is 360 days long.

- The Saenish Calendar is somewhat similar to the French Republican Calendar.

- Espers, Eidolons, Guardian Spirits are used by the Conjurer type.  These races are of another type, not either Immortal or God, but something important.  And then there are even lesser natural spirits and so forth.

- Heroes tend to be semi-divine and revered.

- Immortals vs Gods.  Immortals live closer to the Terrestrial sphere and intervene in it regularly.  The Gods are farther out and live on the Planes, and they do not directly involve themselves in the affairs of Men except in extraordinary circumstances - like in the founding of nations, or destruction of them, for instance.  But Gods will intervene indirectly, while Immortals won't answer mortals prayers or anything of the sort but may intervene directly in some mortal affairs.  The Immortals are one of the reasons the history of Arkon isn't like real history, because they take more of an active role in managing the world.  This is partly because many were Men or Demihumans, etc, themselves.

- Things to think about: Centers of learning in Jadus and Saen.  The Town of Hame in Jadus is certainly one, while the City of Kriegsburg certainly has some (though perhaps for specifically martial concerns - while more refined concerns are elsewhere).  The Town of Port Varas has the University of Astrology.
