[QUOTE="Ghostknight, post: 1439720, member: 15338"] [b]Time Keeping in Tumil/ Calendar[/b] [B]DM Note - Timekeeping in Tumil[/B] Time in Tumil is kept according to a standard 24 hour clock. Due to it being underground timekeeping is done via a magic clock that tracks the sun. Each hour during the day it causes a gong sound that can be heard mainly around the central buildings although most houses can hear it with windows open, even in the distant cornmers of the city it is audible, another effect of its magic. At night, a bell is sounded, much more discrete and far less likely to wake sleepers. Thus dawn to dusk is a twelve hour cycle - one gong to twelve gong, night is similarly a twelve hour cycle of one bell to twelve bell. The clock sticks to these conventions even in summer with longer days and winter with shorter days. [B]DM Note - Calendar[/B] The year is in thirteen standard months of thirty days each. The Year is actually 425 days long, but at intervals during the year three holidays are observed, The summer festival for two days, winter renewal for two days and Death's Dance during spring - a day of remembrance and celebration of the dead. The devil controlled areas use the same calendar, but replace the festival of Death's Dance with Julieal's Revel. A massive feast in honor of Julieal at which many sacrifices are made and debauchery on a grand scale is the norm. The time leading up to this has become a nightmarish time for the hidden cities as the devils and their allies look for victims for both sacrifices and more debased entertainments. The spring months are named after the building blocks of creatures, reflecting the building of the world. Thus they are: Heart, Mind, Body, Soul, Spirit Summer months are after those elements that control and are: Arm, Leg, Wheel, Mouth Autumn months are named for implements of war as traditionally this was when oppossing kingdoms fought. This is no longer true but the names remain unchanged. The autumn months are: Sword, Axe, Spear, Bow Winter months take their names from ideas and implements of survival when the winter is heavy and people need to take hope in the future. Winter months are: Fire, Shelter, Hope, Peace. The Calendar is as follows: Spring Heart Mind Body Soul Death's Dance/Julieals Revel Spirit Summer Arm Leg Summer Festival Wheel Mouth Autumn Sword Axe Spear Bow Winter Fire Shelter Hope Winter Renewal Peace [/QUOTE]
