Post subject:  Length system of Sorrven

I spent an hour in the middle of the night forming this...

1 inch: 1 1/3 krone, 1/12 torf, 1/30 vill, 7/648 slort.
1 foot: 9 krone, 1 5/9 torf, 1/18 vill, 7/54 slort.
1 yard: 28 krone, 4 2/3 torf, 14/15 vill, 2 1/3 slort.
1 mile: 49,946 krone, 3,121 4/25 torf, 173 vill, 86 slort.

16 krone = 1 torf
18 torf = 1 vill
2 vill = 1 slort
3 slort= 1 Grano

Just a question about this part:

Quote:
1 foot: 9 krone, 1 5/9 torf, 1/18 vill, 7/54 slort.
1 yard: 28 krone, 4 2/3 torf, 14/15 vill, 2 1/3 slort.


If 1 yard is three feet, then shouldn't 1 yard be 3/15 vill and 21/54 slort? Or am I missing something here? :)

And only 27 krone, right?

Ah, I see. :D Well, my measurement system was totally off the first time I made it...turns out there was one digit I wrote wrong in the smallest measurement that threw everything else off. :/ But it can be a fun thing to add to your world. :)

Congratulation on doing a measurement system!! I thought doing a time system for an underground world would be a lot of effort and was in turn told it would be easier on my readers just to ignore the little detail of lack of sun and keep the current time system of weeks, days, hours and minutes.
:D :D :D I"m not a very dedicated world builder. :roll:
