Time Zones
From Scandia
The typical map of all of Scandia is centered on the zero meridian. Numeric representation of time zones proceeds from west to east, as on the above map.
Scandian Mean Time, or SMT, is the area from zero to 15 degrees east—though you can see its definition diverges to follow national boundaries. A frequent representation of a time zone is as an offset from Scandian Mean Time; for example, SMT -8 (which is variously known as NMT—Niverian Mountain Time—or CKT—Central Kwasinan Time).
Many nations internally refer to time zones by their own terms. The following table lists the internationally-accepted abbreviations which are most often based on Ingallish naming.
