Game Timeline
The Chinese tell time in two-hour blocks; the twelve blocks of a day are named for the same animals as the zodiac of months and years in the Chinese calendar. However, we have taken liberties with the times and animals so that Western (and game) sensibilities might remember and use them a bit more easily.

This information is repeated in each character’s “Pocket Notes” section.
