Hi everyone !
As some of you might know, I've been working with two friends on a Roleplay Forum based in Camorr (a French-writing one, sorry).
I am supposed to write the thread on calendars & time organization in Therin world, but I'm having trouble with the name of the days, especially with "Throne's Day" :
this "throne's day" is mentioned sometimes, in Lies & Red Seas under Red Skies, for example ; each time it seems to be some day in particular in the whole year (reminders under spoiler)
But then, there's this part : « So intricate in its convolutions. Say you have a rope lying on the deck. On Penance Day it’s just a rope lying on the deck; after the third hour of the afternoon on Idler’s Day it’s a half-stroke babble-gibbet, and then at midnight on Throne’s Day it becomes a rope again, unless it’s raining. » (RSuRS, Chapter 8, Balance of Trades).
Knowing that Penance Day & Idler's Day are two week days, I now find myself incapable of deciding whether Throne's Day is a week day… or a special holiday, as the Day of Changes is, for example.
Would any of you have a better view of this matter ? Am I, somehow, just spending time of something that is quite clear for you ?
Thanks in advance.

(when the Grey King meets Barsavi ; when Locke & Jean must wait for Merrain)
. Not a week day, anyway.But then, there's this part : « So intricate in its convolutions. Say you have a rope lying on the deck.
