The world of Gaianar has its own unique system of weights and measures. Some items may look familiar, while others are completely different. But in a general sense, the system is closer to metric than standard. The tables that follow show how Gaianarians refer to time, space, weight, and distance. In game terms, the most common base measurements are for time and distance. A round is equivalent to a minute, and a click is equivalent to ten feet.
