Time
in the Forgotten Realms is very similar to time
as we know it. The FR year consists of 365 days
divided into 12 months each having exactly 30
days. The extra 5 days fall between certain
months as special days, having different meanings
in various parts of the realms. The months are
seperated into 3 ten day cycles(weeks) called Newmoon,
Midmonth, and Oldmoon. Throughout
the Realms weeks are known as eves, tendays,
weeks, domen, hyrar, or rides
depending on the region. There are no day names
like Monday or Friday, days are referred to as
"the fifth day of midmonth" or the
third day of oldmoon." The days are 24 hour
cycles with each hour being 60 minutes, and each
minute being 10 segments known as clicks
(a segment being 6 seconds).
