In the common calendar used in the Flanaess, summer is divided into two seasons—low summer and high summer. It is twenty-five weeks long, including Richfest (Midsummer) dividing the two summer seasons. It is comprised of Planting, Flocktime, Wealsun, Reaping, Goodmonth, and Harvester.[1] [2][3][4][5]
Richfest (Midsummer) is celebrated between the end of low summer and beginning of high summer.
