Standardized Units of Measure
The colleges of Irita have standardized their units of measure, which is adapted to the harmonics the Celestial Gods have enforced in the natural world.
The following table shows the conversions between common Hillit Standard measures and Earth standards. Temperature are largely the same and Hillit favors centigrade.
