Units of Time

Year - Turn Month - Phase Third-Month - Trisk Day - Sleep

Bells - Hours Chimes - Minutes Ticks - Seconds

Times are written as:

There are no days of the week and no weeks to speak of, just 30-something sleeps per phase.

A trisk is about ten days long, or roughly a third of a phase; they are not mentioned when writing dates, but are referred to as an approximate unit of time.
