Trine (also known as antep) was an orbital period of Thra moving around The Great Sun (roughly equivalent to an Earth year). Trine is the most common method of measuring an orbital period though the term year is occasionally used as well. The amount of time between each Great Conjunction of the three suns was exactly one thousand trine.[1] By the time of Jen's quest, the term had seemed to fade completely out of use that even ancient beings like Aughra would use the term "year" exclusively.
