Dayside Timekeeping
Even though Dayside and Darkside both call the same duration of time a "day," their accounting of minutes and hours differ.
Dayside divides one day cycle into fifteen 90-minute hours. A Darkside day is twenty-four 60-minute hours. In other words, a 90-minute Dayside hour equals 96 Darkside minutes.
Dayside Hour | Taishin Standard Time | Darkside Time |
---|---|---|
1st | Past bedtime | Midnight |
2nd | 1:36 AM | |
3rd | 3:12 | |
4th | 4:48 | |
5th | Ker'reen morning prayers | 6:24 |
6th | Standard work day begins | 8:00 |
7th | 9:36 | |
8th | 11:12 | |
9th | Midday meal | 12:48 PM |
10th | 2:24 | |
11th | 4:00 | |
12th | Standard work day ends | 5:36 |
13th | 7:12 | |
14th | Ker'reen evening prayers | 8:48 |
15th | Standard sleep time begins | 10:24 |
It's important to note that these hours shift depending on several things, including which nation or even neighborhood on lives in, sometimes depending upon one's Profession, or even upon local moonrise and moonset. But in general, Taishin Standard Time is becoming more common, even within the nation of Kerzta, which is often reticent to adopt anything of Lossandin origin.
