+In larger worlds, the proliferation (and extermination) of [[necromancer]]s, [[vampire]]s, and [[werebeast]]s during world generation can cause the age to "regress" back to Heroes, Legends, or, in slightly extreme cases, even Myth, sometimes multiple times. These will be referred to as "The Third Age of Myth", for example.
 If a world starts with 3 powers and manages to progress beyond that, it will proceed to the Age of Myth.

 The seasons correspond to growing seasons from the [[farm plot]] {{k|q}} menu, which dictate what can be grown when during the year.  (See the list of [[crop]]s.) It should be noted that crops grow during seasons regardless of the actual weather, so any crops that grow during the spring will do so regardless of how much rain your area gets.

 The world follows a seasonal cycle - each season affects the climate, the crops that can be farmed, and the ebb and flow of trade. There are also full moons on certain fixed dates every year; [[werebeasts]] will transform into their werebeast form on these days.

-[[File:calender_v50_preview.png|thumb|350px|right|The game getting itself ready for how you're gonna eventually lose it.]]The '''dwarven calendar''' is used to display the day, month, and year of any given date, and is visible in the upper right corner of the [[status]] screen ({{key|z}}). During game-play in fortress mode, however, the layout of the date is YY-MM-DD. There are 12 months in the dwarven year, divided into 4 seasons of 3 months each. Unlike the traditional Gregorian calendar, each dwarven month is exactly 4 weeks long, or 28 days, for a total of 336 days in a year. New Year's Day and the first day of Spring both fall on the 1st of Granite. New Year's Eve and the last day of Winter both fall on the 28th of Obsidian. The months are named after kinds of [[stone]]s, [[ore]], [[gem]]s and [[wood]].

-Civilizations will visit your fortress based on what season it currently is. Trade caravans for each race show up during the specific seasons each year, with the elves arriving during the Spring, the humans during the Summer, and the dwarves during the Autumn. No caravans arrive for the winter, so it's smart to stock up on food and drink during the fall.
