TIME IN THE WORLD OF OHR

The most common system of tracking time originates from the Skaaldi system used by the shamans which itself originated from the Assai of old. The system used now is a mixture of old and new, where its interpretation is different on the various continents. Something to keep in mind, however, is that the vast majority of peoples throughout Ohrros are generally very uneducated, only the privileged have access to proper education. Basically, few people care about keeping track of time besides seasons or blocks of time.

A standard calendar year on Lore consists of 510 days, 15 months (each month consisting of 34 days), and 27 hour days.  Lore also has three moons: Somnus, Shal, Tzem with a 10, 24, and 42 day cycle respectively.

The Common Era Calendar system has more or less been adopted by the majority of the central locations on Lore because of its simplicity. The Empire Dwarves and many other races have varying calendar systems.

HOURS OF THE DAY

The typical Ohrros day is 27 hours long. Most people break up the day into large slices; such as dawn, morning, diurnal, afternoon, dusk, sunset, evening, midnight, and umbra.

MONTHS OF THE YEAR

The Free Cities Calendar defines the year for most of Lore. Some border towns and secluded villages adhere to the calendar as well. Beyond that, many races and cultures they have their own ways of keeping track of the months.


Four annual holidays fall between the months that are more or less universal in their meaning (although under different names, depending on the culture/people celebrating them.
​

• Yule - Destide: 22-27th. A celebration of peace and appreciation that often involves the lighting of lamps to honor the sun and to hope for its quick return during the months of 'Umbra' or 'Nutide'. Gift giving and celebrations of varying degrees are often held during Yule.
• Spring Celebration - Martide: 13th. Originally an ancient Nemedian celebration of fertility has spread and taken on differing meanings all throughout the Known World.
• Honor Harvest - Jultide: 20th-30th. A time of harvesting crops and preparing for the winter months. Celebrations often include drinking, dancing and gift giving. 
• Celebration of Endless Light - Septide: 1st. A celebration dedicated to Ein Sof, the Endless Light. The few remaining temples and clerics of the Infinite Clergy seek out the weak and the poor and offer them the light of Ein Sof, providing food and feasts for entire villages and offering medical services to those in need.

AGES & ERAS

---

The "timeline" for Lore is left intentionally vague, exact dates and years are not nearly as important to the people of Lore as the events themselves. Most human nations do not have or keep a reliable way to track time, at least in terms of years. It's never been of great importance. Beyond keeping track of seasons or the 'day of the week' most people don't concern themselves with what year it is. One of the only measurements that are used by a number of the human nations when recounting history beyond a few years is the term 'age', generally age is used to describe a period of one-hundred years but even that isn't always true, there have been a number of 'ages' that have lasted for less than a hundred years and some ages have lasted far longer. Despite the loose track of time, that doesn't necessarily mean that history isn't recorded. Many scholars and organizations have dedicated themselves to the recording of human history.
