Persistence

Type	Change
Time	Time moves in Marosia. When a player logs off, the world does not wait - time will pass. One In Game Hour = One Real Life Hour, One In Game Day (12 In Game Hours) = 12 Real Life Hours, One In Game Year (20 In Game Days) = 10 Real Life Days.
Seasons	Seasons change between spring, summer, fall, and winter. It is one season per year.
Weather	Weather may change depending on the major biome of a tile and the season and may not necessarily be in line with expected norms.
Aging	With each year that passes, your character will grow in age. Age affects a number of things depending on the race lifespan. Once the age of the race lifespan is met, the character will begin rolling yearly for being set to old age incapability, you can also enable early old age death via your character tab under actions to roll on purpose upon ageing up next. This can be toggled on and off up until the daily tick of the character's ageing day. The percentage chance of success is ((age - lifespan) / 2) + 1. When your character reaches their end, they will be made incapable and a message will be sent to notify you. After a year, the character will die naturally. You are able to end your character's life in this stage via the kill button on your character card, this will keep the corpse message as one of old age. Other players can also press said kill button, this will cause death by a fatal strike.
Hunger	As time goes on, your character will grow hungry. Hunger decays at a rate of -12 per day and occurs at the daily tick.
Health	If your character has been hurt, it's alright if you don't have medicine. They will heal over time slowly at a rate of +1 per hour, but this doesn't apply to injuries. They will heal naturally more quickly in a house with at least 5 pieces of furniture, where their average quality is added to regeneration per hour in residences, rooms, and castles. Tamed animals also heal over time at +6 per day, but heal twice as fast if there is a barn.
Project Progress	Every hour that passes, any projects that have active participants will gain progress. If the project is a job, participants will also get paid every hour (as long as the employer is in the area).
Project Completion	The generation of a project result. Results can be either products like crafted items and harvestables, or they can be effects like burying a body or healing someone.
Starvation	Once hunger reaches 0, a character will become incapable. If the incapable person has no food in their inventory to auto-eat, they will perish the next day.
Animals	Animals will come into the area and depending on its stats they may attack people, projects, or other tamed animals in the area.
Child Spawning	A child may spawn if there is a mother awaiting the blessing of life who has a child soul matched to them.
Travelling	Every hour, travelers make progress in the roads toward their destinations.
Hibernation	Daily, hibernating characters will be checked to see if they are supposed to come out of that state.
Orders	Hourly, orders for guards and groups will be checked to attack their targets.
Inactivity	The game checks out any inactive characters on a daily basis and sends a reminder to roleplay if they; have either been viewed in the last two days but with no posts in said two days, on a map tile that has other characters (with said tile being an entire town or a wilderness area including occupants inside a building), and if they're not hibernating. If a character matches any of the things described above for 4 sequential days then that specific character will have their experience gain for both attributes and skills lowered to 3 per hour/tick regardless of age or knowledge level. The character that has this debuff will be shown to the player on the selection screen, and it can be immediately lifted by making a roleplay post on them.
