Liquid Containers

[FantasyWriter]

I think liquid containers should give an approximate volume capacity when "assess"ed like 'dry' contains do for weight.

Is there a reason this hasn't been put in place yet?

Discuss.

What Synth says below.

What would the measurement system be?

Skins? Shots? Cups? Elf skulls?


Three shots in a mug-> two mugs in a skin?

Cups would work better.

EDIT: Thank you Syn.

Measurement                                                       (General)

   The Zalanthan standards for measuring distance and mass were developed
during the old Empire of Man. These conventions apparently withstood the
reign of the Dragon.

Distance:
   Short distances are measured in inches (which bear a strong resemblance
to the English inch in real life). An inch was considered to be the length
of the Emperor's thumb, but was long since normalised to mean a single unit
of distance.

   Longer distances use units called cords, which are 15 inches long. Such
units as miles and leagues are also commonly used, descended from the
Bendune conventions of the nomadic tribesmen, a mile being 5,333 cords, and
a league equalling three miles.

Mass:
   All masses are measured in stones.  Stones are relatively equivalent to
a kilogram in real life.  Larger masses, in order to avoid using too many
counting markers, have become called in five-stone, ten-stone, and hundred-
stone. People are typically measured in ten-stone while objects are usually
measured in stone.

Volume:
   The fundamental unit of volume on Zalanthas is the gallon, which is
roughly the size of an American gallon.  For ease of use in smaller amounts,
particularly water, it is broken down into the unit skins, where eight
skins equate to one gallon.  The skin, in turn, is broken into gourds,
where two gourds is one skin.  That also is broken into hands where it
takes three hands to equal one gourd.

   3 hands = 1 gourd
   2 gourds = 1 skin
   8 skins = 1 gallon
