12 - Bïfröst: The final proper month of the calendar, it is so named due to the Phenomena that drifts down from the Northern Continent, that is locked in perpetual winter.

Such Storms can occasionally start early as 'Month 11', and can keep arriving until 'Month 2'. It is this Month they most often start though, giving it the name.

13 - Intercalary Month (Name Pending): A strange in between month that closes out the year.It lasts 10-14 days before the start of the new year. It is a buffer month, used make sure the seasons stay in alignment with the Calendar. There is a folktale that many years prior, the Calendar used to line up perfectly, till some calamitous being committed some grave act, stealing away several days of the year, resulting in 'Month 2' having less days than the rest. Though there are others, that are longer lived, saying the calendar was always meant to be like that
