Time In MUD, the basic unit of time is known as the tick, where one tick equals one MUD hour. This translates to approximately 30 seconds of real time. Most MUD events - such as the duration of a spell, the regeneration of HP or how long food keeps you full - are timed in ticks. Note, action points actually regenerate a few times each tick. Calendar There are 24 hours to a day, 28 days to a month, and 12 months to a year. Each month, one of the 12 constellations will grace our night skies, and hence each month is named after its constellation. Four standard seasons a year also apply.

Moons Long associated with magic and mysticism, moons are believed to bestow special powers upon those so fortunate. Our world has four such satellites:
Solinari Nuitari Lunitari Azurus | : The silver-white moon of goodness and purity. : The black, invisible moon of evil and hatred. : The blood-red moon of neutrality and balance. : The mysterious blue moon of history and miracles.
The moons have also been known to have special effects on one's luck, especially when they are shining. Each goes through the normal moon phases of waxing and waning, and each has a different cycle. Thus, they do not necessarily wax or wane together.
