[QUOTE="Henry, post: 1690649, member: 158"] I haven't seen anyone specifically deal with the topic yet, so I printed out a map (sebby's excellent map from WotC's forums) and started tinkering. Assuming that Khorvaire has 24 hour days, and assuming that its circumference is 17.500 miles (Keith says 20K, a strict eyeball of the map in the book says 17.5K), I came up with one hour time zones being ROUGHLY 730 miles in width. I then made another assumption - that Khorvairians are on Korranberg Standard time, and put the prime meridian through Korranberg. Going from east to west, I demarked the meridians, and then made some joggings based on political boundaries. The result? Khorvaire has 6 time zones (somewhere between the numbers for Russia and the U.S.) I called the time zone just to the right of Korranberg KMT +0 (Kooranberg mean time). and went from there. If you use these assumptions, you find a two hour time difference between Korranberg and Sharn. You also find as much difference between Time in Great Britan and the US as there is from the Shadow Marches to the Mror Holds. Even if it's not very scientifically accurate (but then, neither is the map :p) it might be useful to see what kind of timespan there is between different parts, especially when teleportation or lightning rail travel over short distances comes into play. Any comments, suggestions, deconstructions? [/QUOTE]
