i wasn't really sure where else to put this *lays her ears down* so please correct me if you please
i was running around In Limsa Lominsa and happened to find myself in the Mealvaan's Gate (Arcanists' Guild), when i started to use Tap to target the Npc at the desk i happened to find a ??? spot and Thought "Ohh i seen this before in FFXI, maybe this will do something", so i tired and found some tomes telling about elements, times and the gods, but not sure what some of it mean, wrote it down and this is it,

A Number of ancient looking Tomes and Treatises adorn the shelf
Tome I
The Five Ages-an Eorzean Chonolygy
The Preface
Penned By lewphon of sharlayan. master Theologian and astrologist, in the year 233 of sixth Astral Era, to wear together the disparate historie of the nations with common thread-the thread of time. fir through its inevitable march the hours turn into suns, and they into moons, and they into years, and from the years come the ages of man. and ever eclipsing is the eternity of Gods.
Chapter I-The Suns
By the unit of a sole sun we mean the period which lasts for the duration of four cycles of six elemental hours- those of Ice, water, wind, Lightning, Fire and Earth. and so is the sun Twenty hours and four and so shall it ever be.
Chapter II
The Life of a single Moon spans four cycles of eight suns, and is thus the sum of thirty and two. The eight deriveth from the elements six, Ice, Water, Lightning, Fire, And Earth, And Polarities Two, Astral and Umbral.
Chaper III
The Year is made of the Moon Goeth round the two Astral and Umbral Poles, fluctuating between the six elements, and that in turn. In this, the year can be said to be length of twelve Moons
The first and second moon of the year are the first Astral and first umbral, and together they share an affinity with Ice. on their watch, all is Frozen, Breath of Life Sloweth to near silence beneath.
The second Astral and Second Umbral Moons come third and fourth in turn, and they are water of the Melting ice, and with their flowing slaketh the thirst of life again.
Fifth and Sixth are third Astral and Third Umbral Moons, and the Wind Bowed over the Water, carrying its Heavenly boons near and far,
The Fourth paring of Astral and Umbral Moons comes Seven and eight, when the heavens rageth with furies of Lightning, and Sendeth them below with godly terror to test the faith of Men.
The ninth and tenth Moon are Fifth Astral and Umbral, as the Lightning turns to fire, and it charreth growing life with the colors of its flames, bleeding blade and leaf with brilliant hues of crimson and scarlet. year's end cometh in the eleventh and twelfth Moons.
The Sixth Astral and Sixth Umbral In which Earth consumes all, for out of the ground we are taken for the dust we are, and to the dust we shall return.
Chapter IV-Of Man.
The Wisdom of the Twelve Saw fit to grant man with cycle of years, and in turn the reverence of man bound them to his gods-the year of the navigator, of the wanderer, of the builder, of the destroyer, of the warden, of the Traders, of the matron, of the Keeper, Of the Fury, of the Lovers, of the Scholar, and of the Spinner.
The turning of these years twelve is a sacred thing, and together they comprise on epoch of man, by which the Histories of his Endeavor are Measured
Chapter V-Of Gods
The constancy and eternity of time derive from the pulse and breath of the twelve. and by their divine will Brilliance of the Astral Eras which man Flourish and Prosper, and the shadow of the Umbral Eras which see man falter and Doubt, are visited upon him equal, neither the greater good nor the greater evil may escape their purview.
Since the peace among the Twelve was broken and life was created to wage in their wars, six cycles of Eras have come to pass in keeping with the elemental order. The Sixth Umbral Era Belonged to the Waters, as heavy rains fell and the sea rose High, submerging and cleansing all in a great delug. with time the waters receded, ushering in the present Sixth Astral Era during which man has again rebuilt his halls and tilled his lands.
Naught save the ken of the Twelve themselves knoweth when the seventh Umbral Era shall come and end our days. The sole certainty what resides within man is selfsame as it has ever been-ours is the power to make our Era what we might
Tome II
Essences & permutations-a Treaties of the Six Elements
Chapter I- The Six Nativities and Myriad Creation.
The spark of the Lightning Ignites when it strikes, and thus Fire is Born.
The Heat of Fire renders to ash all that it touches, and thus Earth is Born.
The density of Earth shuns Sun and Harbors cold, and thus Ice is born.
The amour of Ice Melts Away, and Thus Water is Born,
The Moistness of Water mists and rises and thus wind is born
The gusts and sighs of Wind gather the clouds, and thus Lightning is born.
Chapter II-The Three Conquests, Boundless and Unwavering
Earth Grounds Lightning
Water Erodes Earth.
Lightning boils Water
Cahpter III-The Three Submissions, Timeless and Unending.
Fire is Extinguished by Wind
Ice is Melted by Fire
Wind is obstructed by Ice.
Chapter IV-Dynamic opposites & the Bifurcation of Polarity.
The six elements are manifest in all things great and small, and their polarity deriveth from the Astral heavens above and the Umbral Depth Below.
So far from what i can read a Sole sun is made out of 4 hours of 6 elemental hours, as in the first 4 hours are thouse of Ice, the next 4 are thouse of water and so on, A week or Cycle is 8 suns and Moon is Four Weeks or Cycles
Hours of the day.
Ice: 24:01 to 04:00
Water: 04:01 to 08:00
Wind: 08:01 to 12:00
Lightning: 12:01 to 16:00
FIre: 16:01 to 20:00
Earth: 20:01 to 24:00
Hope this don't confuse to much
