Time is the inexorable sequence of events that drives the world. In Enderal, time is kept using systems similar to real world methods, often using simple terminology changes that don't alter the underlying system itself. Time in the game world passes at ten times the rate of the time in the real world. The initial date for when a new game is begun is 17 of the First Harvest, 8234 a. St., 10:18 PM.
For a chronological timeline of the events of the world, see Timeline.
Day
Time within a single day uses the same familiar system of hours and minutes. A single day has 24 hours, each hour has 60 minutes, and each minute has 60 seconds. Enderal uses a 12-hour clock, representing the time before midday as AM and the time after it as PM. Midnight is represented as 12:00 AM, and midday as 12:00 PM.

- Middas (Wednesday)
- Turdas (Thursday)
- Fredas (Friday)
- Lordas (Saturday)
