==Eras==
Years are separated into two separate eras: BR (Before [[Resheph]]) and AR (After [[Resheph]]). These two are separated by the year that [[Resheph]] resigned as the last Sultan. Like the real life equivalents BCE and CE, years in BR count backwards, so 60 BR is later in time than 100 BR.
PP is an alternate era name used in {{favilink|Frivolous Lives, Vol. I}}, which denotes the rule before the 6 sultans. Like BR, the years in PP count backwards. The author denotes PP as "prior [to] publication". The specific year in which Frivolous Lives was published is unknown, but since it references Abram I as ruling from '100?-97?' prior to publication, this places it around 1000AR, since Resheph and Abram were contemporaneous in 3AR.<ref>[[Resheph]]</ref>
YK is another alternate era name used in {{favilink|Corpus Choliys}} and {{favilink|Council at Gamma Rock}}. There is no known relationship between YK and the other eras.
==Years==
One year is 13 months, 438,000 game ticks, or 365 days. At game start, the starting year is 1001 AR.
==Months==
A month is measured in game as a length of 30 days (36,000 game ticks), except for Ut yara Ux, which is 5 days long (6,000 ticks).

Ut yara Ux was created in part for each normal month to have 30 days, with the remaining 5 days becoming Ut yara Ux. During this month, a festival takes place which its success can be a [[Faction relationship reasons|point of contention]] among factions. Ut yara Ux is also when the [[Council at Gamma Rock|annual Wardens' Moot]] occurs.

Caves of Qud uses an idiosyncratic system of measuring time. The base measurement the game uses is referred to as a TimeTick (also referred to as game ticks in this article). Each TimeTick can be generally considered to be an ingame turn at 100 quickness.

There are 24 hours in a day, and 50 game ticks in an hour.

Eras

Years are separated into two separate eras: BR (Before Resheph) and AR (After Resheph). These two are separated by the year that Resheph resigned as the last Sultan. Like the real life equivalents BCE and CE, years in BR count backwards, so 60 BR is later in time than 100 BR.

PP is an alternate era name used in Frivolous Lives, Vol. I, which denotes the rule before the 6 sultans. Like BR, the years in PP count backwards. The author denotes PP as "prior [to] publication". The specific year in which Frivolous Lives was published is unknown, but since it references Abram I as ruling from '100?-97?' prior to publication, this places it around 1000AR, since Resheph and Abram were contemporaneous in 3AR.[1]

YK is another alternate era name used in Corpus Choliys and Council at Gamma Rock. There is no known relationship between YK and the other eras.

Years

One year is 13 months, 438,000 game ticks, or 365 days. At game start, the starting year is 1001 AR.

Ut yara Ux

Ut yara Ux was created in part for each normal month to have 30 days, with the remaining 5 days becoming Ut yara Ux. During this month, a festival takes place which its success can be a point of contention among factions. Ut yara Ux is also when the annual Wardens' Moot occurs.
