Overview

Vana’diel time is exactly 25 times faster than normal time. This means that in one Earth hour, exactly 25 Vana’diel hours will have passed. Vana’diel time has 12 months, each of exactly 30 days. This means that a Vana’diel year is 360 days, not 365 like an Earth year. A Vana’diel week consists of eight days, one for each element. The order of days is Firesday, Earthsday, Watersday, Windsday, Iceday, Lightningsday, Lightsday, and Darksday. Note that this means that a Vana’diel month is two days shy of being four Vana’diel weeks. Other than that, Vana’diel time is exactly like Earth time - 24 hours in one day, 60 minutes to an hour. I don’t know who originally discovered the following, but, the following information can be used to set an “epoch” for Vana’diel time compared to Earth time:

Earth time: 2002/06/23 15:00:00 GMT Vana’diel time: 0898/02/01 00:00:00

Using that, you can take any given Earth time, subtract the starting Earth date to set time to “0”, and then multiply that by 25 to convert to Vana’diel time.
