Time, Calendar & Seasons

Time in Uros passes much faster than it does in the real world, allowing days, seasons and years to progress alongside the stories taking place across the server.

How Fast Does Time Pass?

One full Uros day lasts 55 real-world minutes.

This means that approximately 26 Uros days pass during a single real-world day.  A complete 365-day Uros year therefore passes in approximately 14 real-world days.

Time progresses continuously, giving players a shared timeline for roleplay, events and the developing history of the world.

Day & Night

The balance between daylight and darkness changes throughout the Uros year.

Every Uros day lasts 55 real-world minutes, but those 55 minutes are divided differently between day and night depending on the month and season.

During the colder months, nights are longer and daylight is shorter. As the world moves into the warmer months, the days grow longer and the nights become shorter.

The exact daylight cycles are shown in the calendar and seasons below.

The people of Uros use a shared calendar to record the passing of days, months and years.

A complete Uros year contains 365 days, divided across 12 months.

Dating the Modern Age

The modern calendar uses AU — After Umbria.

The arrival in Umbria marks the beginning of this calendar, with the year of arrival recorded as 0 AU.

A standard date is written as:

14th Cinder, 0 AU

Older histories may instead use the Old Age calendar (OA), particularly when referring to events from Athosia before the arrival in Umbria.

For example:

Umbria: 14th Cinder, 0 AU
Athosia: 4623 OA

Days of the Week

Each Uros week contains seven days:

1. Dawnday
2. Moonday
3. Sparkday
4. Hearthday
5. Frostday
6. Duskday
7. Starday

These days repeat throughout the year just as the months and seasons continue to progress.

The Uros year is divided into four seasons, each lasting roughly three months.

As the seasons change, so too does the balance between daylight and darkness, creating a natural cycle throughout the year.

The Seasons of Uros

The Uros year is divided into four seasons, each spanning three months.
