The story was set on a rogue planet thousands of lightyears from the nearest star. The people that ended up there used "sleeps" and "wombtimes" to mark time - a wombtime being a few months shorter than a year. It was a very inexact way of keeping time, especially since Landing Day was so important to them. The Elders would argue and discuss for days before agreeing on how many sleeps had passed since the last Any Virsry.Great worldbuilding too. Lantern trees pumping hot sap up from deep underground, supporting an oasis ecology with their light and heat in the frozen dark of the surface.</blockquote>
