Argenta/DaytimeHours
From Exalted - Unofficial Wiki
Since there is no mention of how the hours are counted in creation, I thought up some System somewhat analog to the year cycle, using 5 daytimes with 5 hours each. This gives us a nice 25 hours day. Any hour can be split into 3 "20 minute" blocks by adding ascending, resplendent and descending.
To achieve easier naming I took the canonical zodiacs used in Wordman/FirstAgeCalendar but sorted them towards different elemental seasons at times.
