A Primer on Time in Balbydos
The calender in Balbydos is just like any calender; unique to the world it is from. There are 24 hours in a Day. There are 11 days in 'week' this is called a 'leek', 'elevenday' or most commonly an 'enday'. There are 3 endays in a 'month' and this is called a 'Tide', a Tide has 33 days. The complete cycle of the first moon (from full moon to full moon) Arma is 3 Tides. This length of time is called a 'Moon', a moon has 99 days. 11 Tides equals a year which is 363 days. It takes 33 Tides, or 11 Moons for the cycle of Arma and Tides to come around and to begin again at the same time; this is a 3 year period and it is called a 'Howl'. Thus A Howl has 1179 days, 99 endays, 33 tides, 11 moons, or 3 years. The howls have remained unnamed, although some people have attempted to name them in cycles of 11. However there are no astrological bodies that correspond to this cycle, so it has never caught on. There are 11 howls, or 33 years in a Full Bendis Cycle. The Bendis Cycle is called a 'Time'. Each 'Time' is given a unique name by the Oracles of the World. All True Oracles of the world are able to know this unique name as its beginning approaches, the new 'Time' is often named within one tide of its commencement. There are 11 Times, or 363 years in a full Manu Cycle. A Manu Cycle is called a 'Torrent' and they are unnamed. Finally, there are 11 Torrents, or 3993 years in a Cosmic Torrent or a complete Soma Cycle. At the end of the year 3993 the Cosmic Torrent was named the Cosmic Torrent of the Compact. As of Yet no other Cosmic torrents have been named.
