399 beta
Below Dunster has realized that the non-Dunsterians among you—those who have not been observing these last 399 days—may wonder about what has seemed like a hiatus, yea, a dry spell. We hope to unveil its significance to you over the course of day 399, which, as you can tell, is an extended day that honors events centering around a certain leap year 399 leap years ago—AD 412—a celebration fittingly encompassing today, 4/12, fittingly having included yesterday, 4/11 (as has already been hinted in yesterday’s epitaphs and as will only become clearer), and fittingly covering the upcoming days. The Dunsteriad constitutes the best account of these events, but there is a real sense in which Below Dunster itself is the supreme Dunsteriad, a meta-Dunsteriad or sur-Dunsteriad of sorts. Thus: be near to both.

(Note that 412 was 399 leap years ago [as of posting time] according to the Julian calendar, now largely defunct in the West. In the Gregorian calendar, 1700, 1800, and 1900 were not leap years.)
