Please explain why having a screwed up day in the east isles and in the west is MGF. To me, it belongs in the category of 'too strange' like having the glorantha sky green, the sun blue, the wind orange and a haze instead of a horizon (somehow we can't see all the way to Pamaltela but we can see the stars at night?).
>And time zones in a world of Yelmdials and waterclocks?
Timezones are not dependant upon timepieces. They were undetectable to the sailors in the Magellanic expedition until they returned home and found they missed a day.

The sun traverses 180 degrees in one day. The distance to the sun is?

To detect this would require something more accurate than waterclocks.
