Here with a question about fog timing! Since I've joined Ryslig, the fog has been regularly scheduled to always be 5 days, starting on the 4th and 17th of the month.

But this is one of the Harpy's possible powers:
Harpies have a 25% change of sensing when the fog will come when they get the weather sensing trait.

This makes me wonder if, even though we, the players, know there's a consistent schedule ... if there's an intended IC sort of obliviousness and mystery as to when the fog will come and go. Does my character know the fog always starts on the 4th and 17th and lasts 5 days? (And, also, is there a set time of day the fog starts and ends?)

I'm asking primarily because I have a tag where my character wants to schedule a meeting with another during the fog, and he'd really like to keep it simple and precise and say something along the lines of: "let's meet at midnight every 8th and 21st". But if he cannot catch onto the fact that fog is always the same five days every month, he'd have to phrase his request differently. "Midnight at the start of the fifth day of fog", perhaps - assuming he's allowed to know with confidence that there are always five fog days. I don't mind at all if he's forced to come up with a weird scheduling solution - I'd just like to know what his Fog Timing Knowledge is, essentially, as a non-harpy with absolutely no fog sensing powers.

I hope this question makes any sense at all. Thank you!
