New page

Arangoth has evolved its units of measurement several times, first adopting a native Goxal style, then the system of the Gemarinds, and then a bastardization of the two. Nowadays the Ruthmarnan system is widely used in Arangoth, both for ease of communication between the two races and because the Ruthmarnans are the largest international exporters of fine goods in the region. It's worth noting that these are all practical measurements, as no arbitrary standard has been agreed upon by every guild-clan.

All measurements are slightly variable due to conditional differences.

=== Length ===
* ''urgod-ul kaxat (or courier's distance)'' – The distance traveled by a courier running on a dirt road in an hour; 8.46 miles

* ''barrad (or bull)'' – The distance an ox with a plow can travel in a full working day, typically utilized to measure the amount of work needed to tend to a plot of land; 13.7 miles

* ''throg branissat (or carriage journey)'' – The average distance a team of carriage horses can travel in a working day; 24.4 miles

* ''dalimba (or sprint)'' – The average distance a courier with a team of relay horses can travel in a day; 45 miles

* ''puntrat-ul simbrod(or soldier's step)'' – The average distance well-disciplined troops can march in an hour, as working days differ vastly depending on military; 3.8 miles
