The infinite speed of the light rays originating from Sun means there is no room for time. Nothing can happen in the instant between observer and observed, and time does not count. Conversely, during a dark night it is space which does not exist. Therefore it is natural to let Moon (whose domain is the night) be the leader when counting time.

The stars shine in the night and the stories by the warming fire will be told against the background of their illumination. The Golden Age and the shifting of the 'framework' certainly would be used to support the wellknown stories, told time and again by master storytellers. The starry dome of the sky would serve well as a 'frame story', like the Arabian 'one more' version, One Thousand and One Nights. Significantly Scheherazade was a woman:

"... On the night of their marriage, Scheherazade begins to tell the king a tale, but does not end it. The king is thus forced to postpone her execution in order to hear the conclusion. The next night, as soon as she finishes the tale, she begins (and only begins) a new one, and the king, eager to hear the conclusion, postpones her execution once again. So it goes on for 1,001 nights ..." (Wikipedia)

In a way time will disappear when attention is caught by a fascinating story. Or in general, when the mind is extremely focused to the exclusion of everything else.
