WaepeConcept
A Waepe is a unit of time in IntEarth, used to measure durations long enough that disoriented travelers may lose their sense of direction for entire Waepes, and short enough that a single Waepe can be described as the right or wrong day for something to occur. The term appears in contexts suggesting it is roughly equivalent to a day.
