524 years is the length of a calendar leap week cycle with 93 leap weeks, creating a 93 out of 524 maximum evenness scale with the generator 293\524, represented by the 93 & 524 temperament.

In addition, both 93 and 524 represent well the 13:17:19 harmonics. The corresponding comma list in the 2.7.13.17.19 subgroup is 16807/16796, 157339/157216, 47071232/47045881. Eliora proposes that this temperament be named '''ostara''', after the feast of the spring equinox, which 93\524 leap week rule approximates well. Other spring equinoctial temperaments, such as 41 & 231 (Dee leap week), 97 & 400 (Gregorian leap day), and 52 & 293 (Sym454) already have their identities and names.

Eliora proposes that this temperament be named '''[[ostara]]''', after the feast of the spring equinox, which 93\524 leap week rule approximates well.

The generator 293\524 represents the [[28/19]] interval in the 2.7.19 subgroup and it serves as ostara's generator in the no-threes 19-limit. Being around 671 cents, can also be used to as a generator for [[mavila]] or [[pelog]].
