      Time is a unique factor in "Second Light". The clocks (If there were any) are based on tens. I will do my best to make this clear.

Choardar time                   Earth time

1 minute       =       50 seconds

1 hour       =       83 minutes

1 day       =       14 hours

1 waking day       =       28 hours

1 year       =       438 days

Now that that is established we will se how Choardar time interacts with itself. It helps to think of a waking day as the time between sleeps.

1 minute       =       50 seconds

1 hour       =       100 minutes

1 day       =       10 hours

1 waking day       =       2 days

1 waking day       =       20 hours

1 week       =       10 days

1 week       =       5 waking days

1 month       =       25 waking days

1 season       =       3 months

1 year       =       15 months

1 year       =       375 waking day

That wasn't so hard was it? *hehehe* You may ask why I did this. The reasons are basically phsyics. I wanted to keep the temperature a bit more stable during the day, and most ofa ll I wanted a time of darkness when everyone would be awake.
