new day begins. After seven days, a new week begins, and after four
weeks, a new month.
The current date can be seen through the tooltip attached to the End
Turn button on the adventure map screen. The day ends when you click

Terrain and speed
As a rule, open fields and roads are always open to a hero. Rocks,
marshes, thickets, lava-flows, forests, rivers etc. are not passable. Rivers
can usually be waded through if a path leads down to the water. Deep
bodies of water (lakes and seas) can only be travelled by ship. To get on or
off, you must find a suitably shallow area.
