Ten Decade Calendar
Bu madde henüz yalnızca İngilizce.
The Ten Decade Calendar is the calendar of the dwarves, one of several alternatives to the Clora Fastis, which nearly everyone in Caligran has adopted.1
Rods of decay
Most dwarves live in vast underground cities and fortresses, where following the sun or the stars to keep time is not feasible. They measure long periods instead with peculiar metal rods whose decay times are precisely known.2
Set upright in properly blended soil, these mysterious rods turn to dust in exactly one hundred years. Rods of different materials measure different spans, from a decade to a century. Outsiders cannot read the passage of time in them, but dwarven masters recognise it at a glance.2
