Time is very important to the people of the World, and how they measure it is closely connected to the how they experience time.
The people of Zha’vu’Keldi don’t understand time as a line, but more like a loop. This is because they see the same seasons come every year, but still the previous winter is not the same as the current. Just like as every day has a morning, but yesterday is not today.
The largest unit for time is an Epoch of Time (Toli). One Epoch of Time has twelve Ages (Ak’Toli) and one Age are 1000 years.
A year has 364 days and are divided into four seasons; Springtime (Tol’Ugahrien), Summertime (Tol’Siorien), Autumntime (Tol’Yitoyen) and Wintertime (Tol’Ultohien).
Each season has 90 days, with an extra day between the 45th and 46th day of the season. These days are called Springday (Yclili’Ugahrien), Summernight (Ofekli’Siorien), Autumnday (Yclili’Yitoyen) and Winternight (Ofekli’Ultohien).
All these special days are dates for fiesting and celebration, where Winternight is the most important as this is the Worlds New Year’s Eve.
How to write a date:
56th Day of Winter, year 543 Age of the Moon
Some places they do divide the seasons into Moontimes (Tol’Mahnien), and every season has three Moontimes, where the first and third Moontime have 30 days, and the second has 31 days.
These people write dates as:
5th day in the 2nd Moontime of Winter, year 543 Age of the Moon
A day is divided in six; the Shadowtime, Morningtime, Daytime, Afternoon, Eveningtime and Nighttime. The Daytime and Nighttime is 8 hours each, while the others are around 5 hours long. But still it’s most common to meassure the hours by the sun, so the Daytime is shorter in winter and longer in summer.
