Land of Lions Lore : Time
Added 2021-02-01 15:13:46 +0000 UTCToday I want to explain how time is kept in Chorsida! For my own sanity, I've stuck with a twelve month system. But here is how it works for the kits and birds of Chorsida!
========================
MONTHS & TIME____________
MONTHS:
- Months don’t have names, instead they are just referred to as 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.
- So a date would be like: the fourth day of the third month (March 4th)
- Dates are written in DAY / MONTH / YEAR
- Year 1 refers to the year that the gods gave the world to mortals.
- i.e. the first mortals were born.
- A month belongs to each god.
- 1st (January) = The Divine (all gods)
- 2nd (February) = Crocodile
- 3rd (March) = Jackal
- 4th (April) = Addax
- 5th (May) = Crow
- 6th (June) = Tiger
- 7th (July) = Lion
- 8th (August) = Buffalo
- 9th (September) = Mouse
- 10th (October) = Panther
- 11th (November) = Falcon
- 12th (December) = Firefly
TIME:
- Time is told in “Bells”
- A BELL = 2 hours
- There are 12 Bells in a day
- 1st bell = (Midnight to 2am)
- 2nd bell = (2am to 4am)
- 3rd bell = (4am to 6am)
- 4th bell = (6am to 8am)
- 5th bell = (8am to 10am)
- 6th bell = (10am to Noon)
- 7th bell = (Noon to 2pm)
- 8th bell = (2pm to 4pm)
- 9th bell = (4pm to 6pm)
- 10th bell = (6pm to 8pm)
- 11th bell = (8pm to 10pm)
- 12th bell = (10 pm to Midnight)
- Time is not carefully kept. If you want to meet at a specific time it’s best to meet at the start of a BELL.
- “Half-past 4th bell” = 7am
