Basic Timekeeping
As a companion to the Months of Traykon, the names of the days as well as the occult names of the hours are also provided.
The days of the week
Each week is broken up into 7 days. There are four weeks in each month. The source of the names is lost to antiquity but records from over 14,000 years ago reference the same names. There have been too many cataclysmic cultural destruction during the existence of Traykon to accurately trace the origins. Scholars will debate, but none are actually sure.

Hours of the Day
This naming convention is not in common use. Normally only occult practitioners use these names. Sometimes religious texts or ancient works will reference the hour using a name instead of a numerical variant. The reason for the naming seems to be due to the variance in the official start of each day. While some cultures, specifically the more modern, urbanized cultures mark the start of each day as either sunrise or midnight. Most older cultures and many religious groups mark the beginning/end of each day to be sundown. A few religious groups, most notably the followers of Belos and Volac mark the start of a new day as sunrise.
