Clocks
(clock name pending)
How, one may ask, could someone keep time while underground or anywhere without the sight of the Sakzyg Oiov? Wherever you are, as long as you know which way is up, a clock will never let you be without the time.
In ancient times, creatures used concentrated bil, shadow, tethered to a center, that would be repelled by the Sayk. The sayk, whether it is over Ovald or kald, would push it away, completely overpowering any force the zuyg would exude. The trapped shadow would circle the center, always being pushed away from the sayk. As long as the sun clock was facing up, they could judge the time depending on where the shadow was in relation to the center. The traits of the shadow used in clocks were discovered by those exploring or living underground.
Later, intelligent creatures developed this concept into several forms. Some have a central sayk clock that they use some form of long distance knowledge (telepathy, duplication, far-seeing, etc) to know what the time of the area is. This is usually accomplished through the use of a murn, and is the most widely used way to read a clock.
Other, more expensive, ways have been developed as well. Some have contractions they carry or wear with tiny tethered shadow clocks in them. Through mechanics, no matter the position of the clock, the shadow and teather is always right side up, removing the need for it to be stationary. This would give them a more accurate telling of the time.

What a unique way to tell time! It reminds me of a compass. Seeing who came up with the idea, and how, would be fun.
Hmm, I don't think one person came up with the idea, like how people just could tell the time with the sin and stars, which became shadows, the sin dial, and further renditions. So I guess there is someone who made the latest iteration of telling time... Maybe some inventor or someone. We'll see!
