Does anyone know how time zones spread out across the Known World?

I'd imagine the sun doesn't rise at the same time in Sundsvall and Glantri...

I'm sorry, I didn't get that?

I don't have the Almanacs, anyone who does who can write the passage here for me?

Lol!

I don't have them with me...

I think that the info is also available on those big maps that described the known world.

Hmm... I don't have the Trail Maps either (I presume those are the maps you refer to?)

Can anyone else help me?

If you want to give a more realistic mediaeval feel then everywhere will have it's own local time (based on the table supplied). In the United Kingdom the conversion to a single timezone was pretty much forced by the railway companies who wanted to print understandable timetables. Until then there was just no need, and no clock accurate enough for it to matter.
