Aroenian Cosmological Calendar
Overview
The Aroenian Cosmological Calendar is a highly structured system of time measurement used in Aroenious. Unlike standard calendars that track solar or lunar cycles, the Aroenian system is based on cosmic time scales, making it one of the most expansive and mathematically structured calendars in existence.
The calendar follows a strict system of powers of 10, where each unit is a multiple of the previous, ensuring an orderly and precise measurement of time from the smallest second to vast cosmic epochs.
Timekeeping System
The Aroenian Cosmological Calendar follows a decimal-based structure, with time measured in progressively larger units.
| Unit Name | Length | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Minute | 100 Seconds | Longer than standard Earth minutes. |
| Hour | 100 Minutes | Equivalent to 10,000 seconds. |
| Day | 100 Hours | A full Aroenian day, significantly longer than Earthâs. |
| Week | 100 Days | The primary subdivision of an Aroenian month. |
| Month | 100 Weeks | Equivalent to 10,000 days. |
| Year | 100 Months | Equivalent to 10,000 weeks or 1,000,000 days. |
| Decade | 10 Years | A standard period of historical measurement. |
| Century | 100 Years | A long-standing unit of mortal timekeeping. |
| Cosmic Year | 500 Years | A universal time cycle in Aroenious history. |
| Cosmic Decade | 1,000 Years | A significant unit in cosmic time. |
| Cosmic Century | 1,000,000 Years | A measurement of vast cosmic shifts. |
| Cosmic Origin | 1,000,000,000 Years | Believed to be the Age of Aroenious, marking the theoretical beginning of the cosmos. |
Cosmological Significance
Unlike many timekeeping systems that focus on planetary cycles, the Aroenian Cosmological Calendar aligns with universal constants and theoretical cosmic measurements. It is primarily used by philosophers, scholars, and Divines to track epochs, celestial events, and the passage of universal history.
Usage and Interpretation
The Aroenian Calendar is a widely respected system of time but is not commonly used for everyday life due to the vast length of its measurements. Instead:
- Mortals in Aroenious use localized calendars adapted from this system.
- Immortals and Divines reference the calendar for historical and cosmic-scale tracking.
- Religious orders and scholars use it to mark sacred ages and divine timelines.
