Calender
In PC, Peter states the month is Greenroof in his letter to Miraz.
In VDT, someone says they could sail home from Ramandu's Island in March.
So does Narnia have its own calender or not? Or is this just an interesting discrepancy?

Re: Calender
I hadn't noticed that! I wonder if there's a possibility of one system of naming is international, while the other is local?

Re: Calender
I'd say the fancy naming is probably local while our "march" is international.

Re: Calender
Maybe the Telmarines brought with them the names of the months which might be adopted by others, and the Narnians had their own names prior, hence the reason Peter uses them?

Re: Calender
This always bugged me!! I have no theories whatsoever (for once). I wonder which month Greenroof is...
If somebody has an idea for a Narnia comic that they weren't planning on making themselves, I <------ This offer still
would be so grateful if they would send it to me in a PM. I am running appallingly low on ideas...! <-- stands.

Re: Calender
elecktrum on ff (not affiliated with TLC) has a whole Narnian naming system with equivalents, so I hear.

I vote for Norelle's suggestion.
They might not need me but; they might.
I'll let my Head be just in sight;
A smile as small as mine might be
Precisely their necessity.

Re: Calender
I think it would be most likely (and super cool) if the Narnians had their own month-names and calendar (which so happens to coincide with our world's calendar - 12 months per year, so on); although I'm wondering how quickly the Pevensies would have caught on to that and gotten used to using it - I would think that it was them who introduced the Gregorian calendar month names by accident (even though I'm pretty sure that they would have made an honest effort to remember the Narnian calendar).
