The Sekiyan calendar, Day 2

•How is the day divided into smaller time units? What are they (Hour of the Lark, Sunrise Bell, Nones, etc.)? Are the names relevant to anything? Is the length of an hour fixed, or does it vary depending on changes in the length of the day as the seasons change?

Sekiyan time is identical to Earth time in that there are 60 minutes in an hour and 24 hours in a day--but each number of the clock is assigned a gem, with noon/midnight having the garnet. So 6 AM would be The Hour of Day's Pearl, twelve noon would be The Hour of Day's Garnet, while midnight would be called The Hour of Evening's Garnet, to name a few examples
