Edyleine

See also Edyleine (goddess) 
Edyleine is a moon of the Planet Leathane. Other than being a moon itself, it is similar in most ways to planet Earth. It is generally dominated by a Renaissance-era High Fantasy society based in a large number of independent realms.
Significantly more of the world is covered by land than on the Earth, though this has minimal impact on the climate. Edyleine has no moons itself, though the planet Leathane takes the Moon's place as the world's tidal partner, and tides function as normal for Earth. Edyleine orbits Leathane at a distance of about one million, two hundred and twenty six thousand miles away, a fact noted by Jessamine Kalectri, an astrologer in The Balls of Menthonen. Excluding rings, Leathane has a presence in Edyleine's sky about four times in diameter than that of the Moon. The rings are spectacular from Edyleine. Eclipses are much more frequent. During solar eclipses, Edyleine could dissapear into Leathane's shadow for almost an entire day. During such events, planet Leathane itself appears totally dark, aside from high level lightning that is generally visible, but the Rings of Leathane not in shadow are still visible. Edyleine does not orbit Leathane at the same plane as the rings, so different aspects of the rings are visible at different times.
Edyleine orbits Leathane once every 45 days, making that the standard calendar month. Edyleine rotates on its axis once every 24 hours, like Earth. Other satellites of Leathane are clearly visible, at the closest approach details of the closest satellite Herix can be seen. Several Edyleine cultures have developed telescopes and have made observations and maps of their neighbors. Several of these neighboring satellites are inhabited by other human cultures and contacts and visits have been made via magic.
