====== Timekeeping ======
The prominent Way of counting time is the [[continent of Myaasia]] way, nonone knows why it is as it is, but still it is allmost universally used by humans and most others atleast know how to use it.\\

==== Units ====
Time is divided into\\
seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, years, Periods, sets and Eras.\\

Seconds to weeks is as expeted.\\
There are 48 weeks in a year and 12 years in a period, except in the [[period of destruction]] that thankfully only has 6 years. \\
Set is a set of the 13 periods and thus 150 years.\\
Catalysmic events cause the change of era and the counting of periods to start from 1\\ 

When a new era is started by collapse of civilisation the counting of years is 12 years of beaver, followed by 12 years of badger and so on until there are the 6 years of destruction. they are collectively called the "first periods", totaling 150 years followed by the second periods and so on. \\

The weeks of a year are all named and have a "theme" and the years of a period are numbered and the periods are also named and have an "ideal"\\

==== Example ====

Thus time is given like eleven in the morning of sunday of strength in the year four of seventh period of wolf in third era. \\
Meaning: 11 AM, on sunday of the 28th week of the year, in the 4th year in 12th period(=year 136 of the set) in the 7th set in the 3rd era(==year 1036 of the era).\\

==== Week names and ideals ====

The names of weeks are specially a mystery, as they do not seem to fit the seasons or any other logic.\\
