Measurement

Area

(1) Land;

1 ribbon = 20 paces * 10 paces (200 square paces);

1 cord = 20 paces * 50 paces (1000 square paces);

1 hide = 100 paces * 100 paces (10,000 square paces);

1 rope = 100 paces * 1,000 paces (100,000 square paces);

1 march = 1,000 paces * 1,000 paces (1/4 square mile)

Currency

The heaviest coins come from Andor and Tar Valon, and in those two places the relative values are:

10 copper pennies = 1 silver penny;

100 silver pennies = 1 silver mark;

10 silver marks = 1 silver crown;

10 silver crowns = 1 gold mark;

10 gold marks = 1 gold crown.

By contrast, in Altara, where the larger coins contain less gold or silver, the relative values are:

10 copper pennies = 1 silver penny;

21 silver pennies = 1 silver mark;

20 silver marks = 1 silver crown;

20 silver crowns = 1 gold mark;

20 gold marks = 1 gold crown.

Length

10 inches = 3 hands = 1 foot;

3 feet = 1 pace;

2 paces = 1 span;

1000 spans = 1 mile;

4 miles = 1 league

Time

Main article: Farede Calendar

There are 10 days to the week, 28 days to the month and 13 months to the year. Several feastdays are not part of any month; these include Sunday (the longest day of the year), the Feast of Thanksgiving (once every four years at the spring equinox), and the Feast of All Souls Salvation, also called All Souls Day (once every ten year at the autumn equinox). While many feasts and festivals are celebrated everywhere (such as the Feast of the Lights, which ends the old year and begins the new), every land has its own as well, and in many instances so do individual towns and villages. In general, the Borderlands have the fewest festivals and feastdays, while the cities of Illian and Ebou Dar have the most.
