Celestial Bodies

The Celestial Bodies of Dissaria are the various things seen within the sky upon the material plane. This includes Dissaria's Two Suns, Three Moons and various Stars and Constellations.

## Suns

### **Heleth**

Dissaria has two suns, the much larger of the two is your normal Red Sun, while the other is about one third the size and is a dark blue. The Larger Sun is often referred to as Heleth, due to her association with the sun. Many people also believe that the sun is a piece of Heleth herself, and that when the rest of the gods locked themselves behind the Divine Barrier, that Heleth left a piece of herself behind, so that her gift of sunlight and warmth would continue to exist without her on the material plane.

### **Heleth's Child**

The Smaller Sun is often referred to as Heleth's Child, it is said that Heleth and Seratine had a child together, one whos name has been forgotten to time, and that when the gods locked themselves behind the Divine Barrier, the child attempted to follow, but failed and was stuck behind the Divine Barrier, and now the child follows the piece of its mother across the sky, hoping that if it could just reach it, that they could contact their mother and be with their parents again.

Once per year, on the final day of the year, the 49th of Vrult, the blue sun appears to be absorbed into the red sun, changing it to a blue hue. During this time, the world is covered in a light blue glow, the sunrise and sunset are said the be the most beautiful purple and blue at this time. And even after sunset, the blue glow endures throughout the night, until fading into the sunrise of the new year. Some believe that this event is the Child of Heleth and Seratine

This event is what marks the end of the year and is believed to be what the Calendar was constructed around.

## Moons

### **Seratine**

Dissaria has three moons, one larger moon with two smaller moons about the same sizes as each other. The Larger Moon is a white colour, with two rings orbiting it, it is often referred to as Seratine, due to his association with the moon, although no myth has existed within history about Seratine leaving a piece of herself exists, many worshippers still believe that Seratine did the same as Heleth, and left a piece to allow light to shine even through the night and to calm all those who look upon it.

### **Forcore**

The first smaller moon is a dark purple and is known as Forcore, and orbits the left side of the moon. Not much is known about Forcore, some believe it to be the origin and purely made of psionic energy. Others believe it to be a living entity, one they pray to for boons and powers. Many question its affect on the tides, and others wonder why many beasts seem to stare at it at night, almost longing for something. Scholars regularly debate over why it exists, as it seems to server no purpose that anyone has been able to gather.

### **Nixamor**

While the second smaller moon is a light green and is known as Nixamor, this smaller moon circles around the middle of the moon. Nixamor is often prayed to by Druids, many believe it to have some sort of connection to nature. It is said plants touched by its light green light grow rapidly and gain magical properties.

## Stars

Dissaria has 3 major collection of Constellations which are grouped together in cultures and myths, many other Constellations exist as well, although these are the most commonly and easiest seen in the night sky across Dissaria. They move across the sky for most of the world, often only two clusters are visible in any given place most times of the year, although on rare occasions 3 are able to be seen. This often happens near the end of the year, and some have even said to have seen all 4 clusters together, although these have never been substantiated.

### **The Realms of the Gods**

The Realms of the Gods is the largest cluster of constellations able to be seen within the sky, and is said to represent all the realms of the gods. There is a specific constellation in this cluster relating to each of The Harmonious and The Ruined.

### **The Souls of the Lost**

The Souls of the Lost are the smallest of all the clusters, but are said to show figures of great renown within their own cultures or across the world, said to have ascended into the stars above upon their deaths.

There is a figure of a large loxodon man looking as if he is holding a map in his trunk, this is said to be **Odinia**, the man who created the foundation for all maps of the world.

There is a stocky figure of a dwarven female, a sphere floating in front of her, this is said to be **Faith Eustis**, a women known for her puzzles and magical items created in the earliest years after the ruined were vanquished by the harmonious's champions, it is said nobody has come close to her level since then.

There is a very tall figure of a elven person, many swords surround him, this is said to be **Yrniela**, the creator of the ancient elven blade-song, not much is known about them, but they are said to be the progenitor for most of elven culture.

### **The Ever Changing**

The Ever Changing is in the middle in terms of size of all the clusters, but is known for its ever changing patterns, from what has been observed, roughly every 200 years, the constellations change, from having many, to having none. The most recent constellation change was earlier than expected, and was a sailors like hat that appeared within the other constellations, followers of Volkur say this was him using his powers of freedom to change the stars themselves.
