Note #16: Dealing with time

Dealing with Time

The world of Thraindhne uses a different system of time keeping then we do.  They have seconds and minutes and hours and days but for long term, such as weeks, they have a different names and lengths.

weeks are known as Nihnes. There are 9 days in a Nihne, one for each of the small realms which circle Thraindhne.

2 Nihnes make a month. There are 18 months, 9 dark month, for the dark lord, and 9 light months for the gods. The dark months are what we would consider the winter months and the light months are what we would consider to be summer.

They call a year an Atnos. On this scale there are 324 days in an Atnos.

Atnos are broken into long sections called ages. Ages are usually 500 Atnos long. A age is declared to end/begin by the primordials after a major event.

Ages are usually broken into Eras. The number of Eras in a Age is usually 5, but it can vary. The religious head can decide when an Era begins. Most Eras start with the major world events.
