GB: Dates and callendar
If you are searching for the important events that happened on the Thor, please go here.
Thor's calendar seems to be quite similar to what most people know, the Gregorian calendar. The Gregorian solar calendar is an arithmetical calendar. It counts days as the basic unit of time, grouping them into years of 365 or 366 days.
A year is divided into twelve months:
1st: January with 31 days
2nd: February with 28 or 29 days
3rd: March with 31 days
4th: April with 30 days
5th: May with 31 days
6th: June with 30 days
7th: July with 31 days
8th: August with 31 days
9th: September with 30 days
10th: October with 31 days
11nd: November with 30 days
12nd: December with 31 days
In conjunction with the system of months there is a system of weeks. A week has seven days in total:
Monday
Tuesday
Wednesday
Thursday
Friday
Saturday
Sunday
A day is divided into 24 hours, however it's usual for people to divide it into am (during the morning, from 0:00 to 12:59) and pm (the rest of the day, from 13:00 to 24:59). Each hour is divided into 60 minutes. A minute is worth 60 seconds and a second is more or less the time you take to say "1 Mississippi" out loud.
On your guide, you may click at the bottom right corner, and there it'll tell you the time, week day, day, month and year. So when the following appears:
1:49pm, Tuesday, 15th November, 20349
it means currently passed 13 hours and 49 minutes since the second day of the week started. It's currently the 15ht day of November, which is the 11th month of the year 20349.
