''This contains the table of declination, commonly known by seafarers as the Regiment of the Sun, which will serve for every day of the month. ''


Now follows a table of declination or Regiment, being calculated for Seagate, and will serve all the Baronies without much error, or any other country or place that has similar Longitude, in the East reaching to the [[Lunar Empire]] and [[Arabie]], and to the [[Elven Isles]] and [[Pasifika]] in the West, and those parts Southwards as far as the Poles of the World. This table is very necessary for those that travel by land or sea, and is one of the principle tools in Navigation for long voyages, and the cause why I have named this collection of notes the Regiment of the Sea, for I know that not every person that goes to ship as the master of a ship has the capacity to calculate the Sun’s declination by the place of the Sun and the season.

This contains the table of declination, commonly known by seafarers as the Regiment of the Sun, which will serve for every day of the month.

Now follows a table of declination or Regiment, being calculated for Seagate, and will serve all the Baronies without much error, or any other country or place that has similar Longitude, in the East reaching to the Lunar Empire and Arabie, and to the Elven Isles and Pasifika in the West, and those parts Southwards as far as the Poles of the World. This table is very necessary for those that travel by land or sea, and is one of the principle tools in Navigation for long voyages, and the cause why I have named this collection of notes the Regiment of the Sea, for I know that not every person that goes to ship as the master of a ship has the capacity to calculate the Sun's declination by the place of the Sun and the season.

Summer

All declination is to the North. On Beltane the Sun has a declination of 16°32' N.
