 The world of ''The Valley'' is lit by an orange/red sun which appears larger in the sky than Earth's sun<sup>1</sup>, covering around 4&deg; of arc, or the width of three fingers held at arms length. It rises in the East and sets in the West, passing overhead at noon. The day (as measured from noon one day to noon the next) lasts 24 hours, though the length of daylight varies as it does on Earth, from around sixteen hours in mid-summer to eight hours in midwinter.
-At night, the people of the world can look up and see a dark band stretching across the sky, where there are no stars. This band is known in [[The Valley]] as ''The Black Path'', and is around 10&deg; across at its widest point, directly overhead. It divides the night sky in two, stretching from East to West. One legend in [[The Valley]] is that the Black Path is the road walked by the souls of dead on their way to the Raven Queen. Pelor, in the form of the sun is also said to walk the Black Path to bring back the dead and give them another chance at life<sup>2</sup>.

		+	For the sake of simplicity, the seasons of the world of The Valley follow our own. However the calendar is divided up in a different way to the one we're used to. Parts of the year are dedicated to the gods and the ideals they represent. This is covered in more detail in the [[Calendar of The Valley]].
−	The world of The Valley has no moon and so doesn't divide the year in the same way we do. The different times of the year are divided up between the gods and goddesses worshipped in the world. Most deities are given 28 days, while Pelor and the Raven Queen get larger shares, as the two primary opposing forces in the pantheon. The list below gives dates according to the Gregorian calendar, but the dates and months familiar to us wouldn't mean anything to people in the valley.
