The Lalian Year

The Lalian year consists of ten tenthyears, each made up of three tendays.

Lalian peasants living on the planet's northern hemisphere named the tenthyears as follows:

First tenthyear	Heyelf	The time of new beginnings.
Second tenthyear	Oevyelf	The time of gaining light.
Third tenthyear	Okyelf	The time of gaining heat.
Fourth tenthyear	Nuyelf	The time of gathering clouds.
Fifth tenthyear	Ebyelf	The time of thunder.
Sixth tenthyear	Kruiyelf	The time of lightning.
Seventh tenthyear	Slayelf	The time of rain.
Eighth tenthyear	Fooyelf	The time of flowers.
Ninth tenthyear	Afyelf	The time of wind.
Tenth tenthyear	Maiyelf	Harvest time.

Weather engineers insure that the seasons progress on scedule—as long as no mindsea fireworks interfere.

The Lalian day consists of thirty hours, each made up of 3500 seconds.

Lalian seconds are equivalent to Earth seconds. The Lalian year consists of 31.5 million seconds, while an Earth-year has 31.54 million seconds. The Lalian year is shorter by a bit more than eleven Imperial or Earth hours.

All the planets of the Empire have their own local days and seasons, but seconds are standard throughout the galaxy. The planets reckon their histories according to imperial years.
