Caves of Qud uses an idiosyncratic system of measuring time. The base measurement the game uses is referred to as a TimeTick. Each TimeTick can be generally considered to be an ingame turn at 100 [[quickness]]. | Caves of Qud uses an idiosyncratic system of measuring time.

==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=== | |||
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. | |||
==Day Segments== | ==Day Segments== | ||
Each day in game is 1,200 game ticks. Regular months have a total of 30 days, while the shorter months only have 5 days. Each day is separated into segments as follows: | |||

* The month names appear to be loosely based on the names of the Jewish calendar months. | |||
