20 Archives (1/2)
The time inside the Archives of the Chantry is fruitful admittedly for Gray Allister.
Despite the modest size of the Library, the acquisition of books itself is more than enough for the Elf to acquire the knowledge necessary for him to mingle with the common folk of this world.
Thankfully, the text depicted in the books is much similar to the English Alphabet, dubbed the Common tongue in this world, so there were no issues whatsoever in his studies.
For one, the knowledge of how the Calendar system of the world is a must-have if Gray wishes to keep up with the current affairs.
Fortunately, the system is the same as back in his original world, much to the Elf's utter relief, albeit the different terms associated with it.
There are 12 months, each with 30 days, 7 days in a week, and a 24 hour period.

The month comprises in the following chronological order:
1. New Dawn
2. Lover's Rise
3. Labor's Toil
4. Evening's Dusk
5. Grace's Call
6. First Stone
7. Last Stone
8. Joy's Hallow
9. Summer Hand
10. Mead's Fall
11. Ending's Cry
12. Winter's Grasp
And the days are also arranged in the same way:
1. Primis
2. Secundus
3. Tertium
4. Quartus
5. Quintus
6. Sextus
7. Septima
Gray further asks Theo at what the date today is so that the former can ascertain its format.
”9th day of Joy's Hallow, 1457.” Theo happily obliges him as Gray nods in gratitude.
After observing that the Elf is completely settled in, Theo leaves him alone to his devices.
Gray also learns that the time can be read by the use of clocks thankfully. As a matter of fact, the mechanical contraption was invented by the Dwarves as they innovated time reading throughout the whole of Silverhart, making people's lives a whole lot easier since Sundial and Moondial are the norms back then.
And again, just like his former world, the reading of time is very much similar to the 12-hour format that he grew accustomed to.
