        I have to admit that nothing springs to mind. The celestial lore of the Doraddi is a subject under active investigation at the moment, but understanding is still incomplete.

        That said, my best guess is that it would then be from the moment of sunrise. The Doraddi think of the sun fairly highly, if impersonally. Something to do with Cronisper (the old sun) is another possibility, but I'm not quite sure how he appears in the celestial world yet.
