Timesense is an amateur-status sage ability in the study of Natural Astronomy that enables the character to accurately judge the time of day when above ground and with a clear view of the sky, within 15 to 20 minutes. Moreover, this ability imparts a keen awareness of the exact moments of sunrise and sunset on any given day of the year.

As these times approach, the character's time-keeping precision increases significantly. During the two-hour period before sunrise and sunset, the character can ascertain the exact time. After the rising or setting sun, the character retains this capacity for another half-an-hour.
The ability also enables the character to discern cardinal directions with increased accuracy. They also have an innate sense of north, south, east and west — yet this depends on the presence of a clear sky and the character's ability to see the horizon. Below ground, or surrounded by dense vegetation and a canopy of tree tops, the ability cannot be depended upon.
Naturally, this ability is invaluable for guiding a group through uncharted territories, especially with regards to vast oceans, open plains or deserts, where there are few natural features. This ability to orient oneself is a key to effective navigation and exploration for the character and others.
