If day and night have no meaning then why do things like the elven spirit bow have effects which work during the day?

"Day" and "night" are conventions observed by people, not geographic realities.  The designation of "day" and "night" in Illyriad has nothing to do with whether or not it is dark outside.  That is why we do not have daylight savings time.

Sorry Rill, that's an incomplete answer. How can there be seasons but a constant 12hr  day length? A fuller exposition with less hand waving is required!

OK. Lets monitor whether the ice sheets are diminishing and whether there is any increase in extreme weather events. Monthly reports will suffice KillerPoodle.
