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 '''Lethurîan Calendar''' is the standardized temporal system used throughout the universe of [[Lethurîa]]. 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.  


A Lethurèan year consists of 1,000 Lethurèan days, which aligns with the orbit of certain planets like [[Ûblai]], 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|data orb]], ensuring continuity across locations.

* [[Ûblai]] 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.
* [[Ûvlâ]] is one of the few planets that naturally aligns its orbit and rotation with the Lethurîan year, completing one orbit in exactly 1,000 Lethurîan days and one rotation in 20 Lethurîan hours.
* The standardized week, month, and year lengths make the calendar ideal for tracking significant events across systems.
