Two updates:
1. The seasons now are determined by date and not by month. This reflects the WoT calendar more accurately (you can now also calculate the equinoxes and solstices if you are so inclined). It also allows seasons of equal duration in the 13-month calendar. The net effect is winter is shorter and fall is longer.
2. Aspiring myrddraal now start gaining altqps from kills while leading at 1k qps (ie, as soon as you master) instead of 1500. 1500 was a relic of a time when it was harder to earn qps, and the leading part of the fade quest is sufficiently lengthy to complete that 1500 was not needed.
