== Overview ==
The '''Lethurèan Calendar''' is the standardized temporal system used throughout the universe of [[Lethurèa]]. It accounts for planetary variations in time, such as differing orbital periods and rotational speeds, while providing a consistent measure of time based on the Elder Sherok’s homeworld.  
The '''Lethurèan Calendar''' is the standardized temporal system used throughout the universe of [[Lethurèa]].

A Lethurèan year consists of 1,000 Lethurèan days, which aligns with the orbit of certain planets like [[Uublai]], whose year matches the universal standard. For travelers like [[Merik Teslek]], time often becomes inconsistent due to the nature of interplanetary travel, resulting in experiences where seasons, hours, or even day-night cycles shift drastically. To mitigate this, standardized time is tracked using devices like the [[data orb]], ensuring continuity across locations.

The length of Lethurèan time can be calculated in relation to Terran (Earth) time using the formula:
The length of Lethurèan time can be calculated in relation to Terran (Earth) time using the formula:
* '''Lethurèan Time × 2.73 = Terran Time'''
* '''1 Lethurèan Year  = 2.75 Terran Years'''  


For example:
* '''1 Lethurèan Year = 2.78 Tèran Years'''
* 1 Lethurèan Year = 2.73 Terran Years

* [[Uublai]] is one of the few planets that naturally aligns its orbit and rotation with the Lethurèan year, completing one orbit in exactly 1,000 Lethurèan days and one rotation in 20 Lethurèan hours.
