A Guide to Eorzean

[byheartandblade]

[ Syhr'd been fortunate enough to Echo the information correctly enough to infer, she believes. So she's going to do this for others there. ]

Eorzea is my world. So I figured I'd give a quick guide so you lot can understand what's being said.

Ilm seems to translate to inch.
Fulm would be foot.
Yalm is yard.
Malm is mile.

We use bells, not hours.

Our year is about three hundred eight-four suns.
Suns are days.
Moons are months.
An epoch is a measurement of twelve years, as opposed to a decade.

We say nameday instead of birthday.

Onze instead of ounce.
Ponze instead of pound.
Tonze instead of ton.

I can answer any questions you have, if you have them.

Clearly it does, probably due to the world difference. You both look sixteen to me, but in Auldrant time, sixteen Earth years isn't even quite eight.

We've had this conversation before, remember?

[You know, the one where you might not be precisely the same exact species? Or subspecies, not that Walter quite knows that exact term yet.]

[bloodyashes]

Yes, I was clarifying for everyone else reading.

[Somewhere, Walter is sighing.]

Your aging hasn't changed here, has it?

[bloodyashes]

Not as far as I can tell.

[angel_of_death]

Neither has mine.

[Aside from the growth spurt, that is. But he was due for that soon either way.]

[bloodyashes]

I suppose you'll be passing me before too long, then.

[angel_of_death]

I expect I shall, if we remain here that long. [And he'll be taller than you even sooner than that.]
