A1 Units of Measurement

Distance

Oord uses the standard metric system for distance

 

Time

Units of time larger than a year are the same as the metric system

 

Year

360 days

Note: the seasons of Oord cycle cleanly on this period

Pass

1/10 of a year, a period of 6 weeks

Week

1/6 of a pass, a period of 6 days. In order:

1. Mahlday

2. Torday

3. Walesday

4. Felday

5. Braalday

6. Salzday

Day

A single light-dark cycle of the sun

1/6 of a week, a period of 12 bells

Bell

1/12 of a day, a period of 12 parts

Part

1/12 of a bell

The lowest measurement of time used outside of specific high-precision settings like labs or ritual casting

Division

1/12 of a part, a period of 75 sections

Used in lab settings, often shortened to 'Div'

Section

1/75 of a division

Used in lab settings, often shortened to 'Sec'

 

Units of time smaller than a section are only really relevant in atomic alchemy. Atomic alchemy uses its own variable turn-based system of time, where a turn can vary based on the type of transmutation engine and current configuration.
