All Agera work with a base-8 system (though of course, in GMing, for simplicity, I don't). Accordingly, the Mysian system of measuring is based on 8s. From dolon to dolmelphion, the system is fairly straightforward, but, traditionally, after dolmelphion, it becomes a touch more complicated.

Dolon- Approximately half a foot
Medolon- Eight doloni (4 feet)
Belaon- Eight medoloni (8 feet)
Iagghebelaon- Eight belaoni (16 feet)
Dolmelphion- Eight iagghebelaoni (32 feet)
-the break- (there are no measurements between these)
Chistre- One-hundred dolmelphioni (3200 feet)
Mechistre- Two chistri (6400 feet)
Belchistre- Two mechistri
Voniste- Formally, eight belchistre, but is used to denote 'a very long way' or 'really, really far'
