Nyxoria Time

Given Nyxoria’s focus on spirituality and ancestral connections, its time system is based more on cosmic cycles and spiritual alignment rather than strictly scientific or physical cycles.

1. Day and Year Length:

  • Day Length:

    • Nyxoria has a 24-hour day system, similar to the universal time, aligning with its role as a spiritual hub where the flow of time is not as rigid as on other planets. This allows for ritualistic ceremonies that span over Earth-standard days or specific time windows that hold deep significance to the people of Nyxoria.

    • However, certain spiritual moments (like celestial alignments) may be seen as moments outside of time, where traditional timekeeping is suspended in favor of connection with the cosmos.

  • Year Length:

    • The Nyxoria year lasts 360 Earth days (aligned with the universal calendar year). The solar year is divided into 12 months, reflecting the spiritual significance of the zodiac and cosmic cycles.

    • Nyxoria’s connection to the spiritual plane means the sun and moon don’t define their time system as strictly, as they often measure time based on cosmic rhythms and spiritual experiences.

2. Key Spiritual Events and Time Markers:

Nyxoria’s time system is heavily influenced by spiritual events rather than conventional markers:

  • Celestial Alignments: Every 5 years, there is a special spiritual event, where the planets align or the moon enters a unique phase. These events are marked by rituals and spiritual teachings.

  • The Ascension Cycle: Every 10 years, certain people or spiritual leaders undergo an ascension process, believed to connect them directly to the spiritual realms. This is marked by special ceremonies and fasting periods.

  • Spirit Walks: Each year, spirit walks are undertaken to mark the transition of the spiritual year. During this period, certain sacred puzzles or meditations are performed to gain insights into the future of the planet or individuals.

3. Time Conversion:

Since Nyxoria follows the universal time system but has spiritual distinctions, time can be converted similarly to universal time:

  • 1 Nyxoria Day = 24 Earth hours.

  • 1 Nyxoria Year = 360 Earth Days.

However, in spiritual contexts, they may track time by:

  • Celestial Cycles: A unit of time based on the alignment of the planets.

  • Spiritual Days: Time measured by the ritualistic practices, where a "day" might not be a full 24-hour cycle but could be based on the alignment of spirits or moon phases.

4. Special Holidays and Festivals:

  • Festival of the Ascension: A key spiritual event marking the ascension of spiritual leaders or important individuals into the next realm. This festival involves fasting, meditation, and community celebrations.

  • Night of the Stars: A major spiritual festival celebrating the connection between the ancestors and the living, often associated with star-gazing rituals, cosmic prayers, and meditation.

  • Rite of the Full Moon: A ceremony that aligns with the full moon, where people enter trance states to commune with the spirits of their ancestors.
