Vraki UOM
- Adrian (the same one who helped create the calendar) decided to standardize all UOMs based on the best UOMs being used around—which all happened to be from Blood due to their constant hunting nature.
- Temperature, Weight, Distance, Volume & Time UOM can be found on the World Calendar & UOM.

Day & Night
Behind the Scenes · full notes
Vraki Day
- The Sun behaves similarly to our Sun.
- The day is divided into four sections, with each inner section divided into two (times are approximate due to seasons)
- Low vs High refers to the amount of Nari crystals ratio used in the mixture for each time chunk
Vraki Night
- The moon is similar to Earth, except for its color.
- See Timekeeper for more information.
- The night sky uses the color palette in the Moon section. #61f878
- If you focus the moonlight on a smaller point, you can make any living being glow within its shine. More info on World Timeline.
- The night has a similar design to daytime.
- Low vs High refers to the ratio of Nari crystals used in the mixture for each time chunk.

Vraki Calendar & Birth Age
The Vraki calendar was adopted as the official calendar when The Prosperity Treaty was signed. Adrian, who spearheaded standardizing UOMs, also assisted in creating a standardized calendar. Wanting to immortalize themselves, he found a way to split a year amongst the courtroom scientist that created The Prosperity Treaty.
The start of the calendar is determined by the fall of Ganyrami; hence this new era is called After Ganyrami (A.G.), and everything prior to it is called Before Ganyrami (B.G.)
Each day of the week is named after one of the respective kingdoms, with Forrday being named after Forway and declared the end of the week (weekend).
On every Asa 1st, Forway also releases a lunar mapping for Hunters, farmers, adventurers, and others that depend on the lunar phases to gauge environmental tendencies for a measly twenty pearls.
*A mapping to the Gregorian calendar can be seen in blue.

Name Schema
Behind the Scenes · full notes
Four Kingdoms
- To make names, contracts, and negotiations easier, Forway implemented a naming schema that began with any kingdom child born after the prosperity treaty came into effect in 671 A.G.
- NAME PLACE GUILD
- Given by parents at birth. Uniqueness and name characteristics vary by region.
- City of origin or main residence.
- City of origin or main residence.
- Often associated with where their primary guild is located.
- Guild Name. If participating in multiple guilds, then any of them.
- If the guild name is described as CITY-GUILD, and the city is the current place of the badge owner, then it is not written (e.g., Itagiba Sanbi Royal vs Itagiba Sanbi Sanbi-Royal)
- If not participating in any guild, this part of the name is skipped.

Time Keeper
Akin to a sundial, the Time Keeper tells the time of day by shining it with sunlight or moonlight. Shortly after, you will be able to tell the time based on which section is growing bioluminescent.
To read the Time Keeper properly, start from the bottom (6 o’clock), where the separation between yellow and navy blue sections represents sunrise. The entire yellow chunk is Sunna, equivalent to a timehunk, or about three hours. The Vraki writing within it breaks down the timehunk into half timehunks called Sunnalow and Sunnahigh.
Going clockwise from the start (6 o’clock), you would read out the time as follows:
Sunnalow, Sunnahigh, Sunnilow, Sunnihigh, Sunnolow, Sunnohigh, Sunnulow, Sunnuhigh.
The edge between red and light green (12 o’clock) represents sundown, and if you continue to read out clockwise, the half timehunks are:
Monnalow, Monnahigh, Monnilow, Monnihigh, Monnolow, Monnohigh, Monnulow, Monnuhigh.
Time can be further divided into quarter, small, and tiny timehunks, but one would use a Time Counter (akin to a sand clock) to do so, as day-to-day interactions are often expressed as “Let’s meet at Moonahigh for some fun time.”
Kingdom’s culture over how close they keep track of their Time Keepers varies substantially. The most common example is that Sanbians are rarely on time, while Toleridemians are unnecessarily punctual.
