Hrm.. Its cryptic, for sure :) Maybe it signifies the 'end' of the 'time before time', at the start of a new world? :| That doesn't sound right, though.. :>

The names of the seasons actually vary a bit based on your biome.  In one fort I got "The dry season has arrived on the calendar." which prompted me to look that up on the wiki.  Apparently some biomes don't have seasons at all and the calendar is only there to mark the passage of time and distribute caravans equally through the year.  Sounds like a bug that the game would actually name a season "Nothing" since that (or "n/a") is what DF trots out when it expects a name and none is defined.

well, looks like a pretty benign one. probably still worth a report, however.

The internet encourages thoughtful, intelligent discussion and if you disagree I hate you.

Intelligent is a strong word to use around DF.

you're lucky it wasn't an adventurer.  I've heard they can bash your skull in by throwing water at you.  UNDERWATER
