Time

In our world, an entire day is 24 hours. Our clocks are broken up into 12, which occurs twice. Of course, some clocks do display a smaller set of numbers from 11-24 to show the morning and evening times or what we call military time. 

​

In Lotherria, the days are longer. The clock goes from 1-16 on a normal clock. Half a day is 16 hours. Some clocks do have the smaller numbers from 17-32 to show their morning and evening times.  The point is that there is 32 hours in a Lotherrian day. The length of said day depends on the time of year, with winters having shorter days and summers having longer days. 16 0'clock pm is still called noon and 32 o'clock or 16 o'clock am is still called midnight.

​

Because there are 8 extra hours in a Lotherrian day, there are one or two extra mealtimes usually observed: Breakfast, Brunch, Lunch (sometimes called dinner), First Supper, and Second Supper.

​

Primitive peoples may use the sun or a sundial to tell the time. Higher technology has progressed to using clockwork clocks, a device perpetually in motion with the use of cogs, usually reserved for a church or courthouse. There are also clocks and watches for homes and personal use.

​

When the seasons change, the peoples of Lotherria simply behave accordingly. If they need more daylight, they will wake up earlier or work later. As such, there is no observed Daylight Savings Time.
