Measurement of Time in Fahiamel
Years in Fahiamel are depicted as follows:
[001 -> 210]X, [I -> IV], [001 -> 210]
202X, III, 155 (Example of date) The method of time-telling is based on astronomical bodies similarly to developing societies like the Inca and the Mayans, however involves a belief that life happens in a great cycle. This ideology is borrowed from Egyptian spiritual beliefs, explaining that time is not a line but rather a cycle by which everything will return to the point of nothingness, and begin again. Taking 'cycles' at a smaller scale, the "date" of things is broken down into 'cycles' and eventually resets, allowing for a relative understanding of times by which the time a 'cycle' has passed, it is likely no works from over a cycle ago will persist. In the event that a work from multiple cycles in the past is sourced, it is given the original publication date and labeled by the era which it came from. Era is used differently in this society to mean "a passage of 100 years", and the eras are given names which are recorded in literature and academia. Such as the Silver Era where mechanics popularized or the Biologic Era where the study of abilities popularized. Typically, eras are named after influential movements from a society of some kind, so when tracing how long ago a work was published from multiple cycles ago, you must figure out how many spans of 100 years have passed since the era in which it was released. The first number, X, depicts years. This is the number of days (210) it is believed that the stars take to shift their relative location to the planet before reaching a full circle. After 840 days, each of which consist 28 hours, the Earth returns to its 'original' astronomical position and a year has passed. The second number, written in Roman Numerals of one through four, depicts the month. After each set of 210 days, one month passes, and the final number returns to 001 while the month moves up by 1. When the 210th day of month IV passes (or day 840), X moves up by 1. When referring to one cycle before the current, you use the letter "E" instead of "X" to define years. For example, a date from a previous cycle would be written as: 080E, II, 090 X is short for Xetha, a root which means "The Current", and E is short for Eitha, a root which means "The Recent". 0 = I
210 = II
420 = III
630 = IV
840 = X
I = 0 -> 1/4th X
II = 1/4th -> 1/2 X
III = 1/2 -> 3/4ths X
IV = 3/4ths -> 1 X
The current date is 140X, II, 059.
