The system of measurement used in Aarð is closer to *our* US/Imperial system than metric. It was based on early measurement using one's body, and was standardized by the Ðanmar Empire.
Linear Measure
The basic unit of linear measure is the standard inch (si), equivalent to about 1.27 of *our* inches or 3.2258 cm.
- 1 standard foot (sf) = 8 si
- 1 hand (h) = 5 si
- 1 walk (w) = 144 sf
- 1 standard league (sl) = 24 w (3456 sf)
- 1 great league (gl) = 6 sl (144 w or 20736 sf)
These are related to metric and the US system as follows:
- 1 sf = 25.8064 cm (10.16 in)
- 1 h = 16.129 cm (6.35 in)
- 1 w = 37.161216 m (121.92 ft)
- 1 sl = 891.869184 m (2926.04 ft or 0.554 mi)
- 1 gl = 5.351215204 km (3.325 mi)
US equivalents are approximate; metric equivalents are closer to the actual values.
