The names of the hours, like the general pattern of angelic names and a few other details of the world of Sanctuary,
bear striking similarity to elements of Judeochristian religion on Earth but do not quite match under detailed scrutiny.
==Trivia==
The [[Aranoch]] desert on the western continent has a very similar name to another great desert in the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy setting, the Forgotten Realms: Anauroch. Seeing how many Blizzard employees have spent time in the D&D worlds, it's likely the name was inspired by the Anauroch desert, or perhaps a tribute to the great desert of the Forgotten Realms.

There may be other named hours in the day, or times might be given in forms like "An hour past Lauds" or "Halfway from Lauds to Sext".

===Sources===
Worth noting is that these two sources would be more or less compatible if it were not for the fact that Aust is talking about events in 1265 and Deckard Cain talks about 1266. As Deckard Cain's Journal is more recently released from Blizzard, it's probably safe to say that this is the "[[canon" ]] lore.
* [[Journal of Elder Aust of Harrogath]]
* [[Deckard Cain's Journal]]
Mind the fact Blizzard has said there are discrepancies, and the latest stuff is the material we should believe.
===Important Events===
The only reoccurring event known at this time about sanctuary is the mysterious [[Night of Souls]].
