Seasons

Description

Seasons are a core part of Deepwoken's world system. Each season lasts two in-game months, making a full year eight months long. One in-game month corresponds to a single real-life day, with seasons transitioning at Midnight UTC (7 PM EST).

In the calendar, the first month of a season ends with "-span", while the second ends with "-fall." The only exception to this rule is Spring, with its last month ending in "-watch."

Seasonal changes primarily affect environmental visuals and the behavior of flora and fauna. Certain plants can stop growing during specific seasons as well, such as Wheat ceasing growth in Winter, and some fruits can no longer growing.

Seasonal mob changes also occur. For example, Blizzard Knights only appear in The Valley of Heroes during Winter. When it is not Winter, Aelita will spawn instead.

Notes

• If a full in-game year passes (8 real-life days), your character ages by one year unless wiped.
• The year counter also advances (e.g., 1273 → 1274).
• All races visually age over time, gaining wrinkles and other age-related traits.
• The Ferryman rewards an additional chest on defeat, with the loot pool of this chest varying depending on the current season. During Spring, Ferryman will give 1 Knowledge instead.
• The Aelita event can spawn in Valley of Heroes if it is not winter. For more information, see Aelita.
• Aelita will still have a chance of spawning Snow Knights if it only recently turned to Spring in the server.
• The one and only moment in history where the time in Deepwoken will be the exact same as the time in real life, down to the tenth of a second, is projected to be 15:15:50.4 UTC (50.4 seconds after 3:15 PM UTC) on April 15, 2030. After this moment, Deepwoken will be permanently set in the future.
• During the Hallowtide Event, the map appears as Fall, regardless of the season.
• When the game released the time was around 1270 as said in TheRealRunchee's video 'Full Lore Timeline'
• As of October 7th, 2025, Deepwoken years now last 8 real life days. This took effect starting Spring/Hearthspan 1617 CE.
