View Full Version : Clarity on the Courtly Year

So, KAP 5.1, pg. 107 lays out the Courtly Year. A curious omission is the Christmas Court (aka the Winter Court) and the Christmas Feast, both referenced repeatedly in GPC. Is there a reason these were left off? Should they be on the list?

Also there's a Royal Christmas Court and a Salisbury Christmas Court in the GPC—are the players expected to attend both?

Is the Pentecost Feast is this held in conjunction with the Royal Court (wherever it's being held)? Thus we'd have:

Spring Court (with Easter Feast)

Royal Court (with Pentecostal Feast) Note: I think I've also seen the Royal Court called the Pentecost Court. Are these two synonymous, like Spring Court and Easter Court?

Summer Adventure Season

Harvest

Christmas Court (with Christmas Feast)

I imagine that the earl of each county could have it's own version of each of the above and that, as the King makes his progress, the Royal version could be held in any castle thereon. Indeed, I guess each manor could have his own version, for the knight's family, retinue and commoners, yeah?


Thanks,


T.
