The Honuan Flag

To those of other spheres, Honua is often seen as an idyllic locale, filled with tropical sights and various pleasures. It is a sphere known for its prolific trade and boundless artistic and cultural wonders. Those who know Honua however, know it is much more than a tourist destination filled with pretty things. Honua He Nui is a native sphere of the coiled junction, having existed there for Milenia. They were part of the alliance that fought and eventually won the war of roses, and the many different people who inhabit the sphere wear that history with pride.

Honua is generally regarded as fairly peaceful, not known for confrontation, and opting not to meddle in foreign affairs, but those who are involved in Honua know they are strict and vigilant when it comes to that which enters the bounds of their sphere. One would be wise to remember the dedication the people of Honua show their home, and wiser still not to forget their devotion in defending it.

## Culture

Pinning down a singular culture for Honua would be near impossible. Each planet in the sphere has its own cultural identity, and the planets are rarely homogenous themselves, hosting a wide array of peoples, often with identities and cultures of their own. A few, however, are more prominent than others.

Mea hanu is most known for Serena, a semi-nomadic nation composed of several aquatic tribes. Culturally, they are inspired by a mix of Polynesian and Greek influences. The people of Serena highly communal and very close to nature.

The Amaru empire of Q’umir are primarily based on the Inca empire and the mesoamerican feathered serpent. They place a high value on art, organization, and beauty.

Ufudu Mwuepe has various influences from the African continent, particularly Mali, Swahili, Shona, and Zulu. A significant portion of their society revolves around the draconic.

Cundiboyacense has the aesthetic of a precolombian Andean civilization. The people of this planet are highly theistic, with much of their society being built around their gods. They are also renowned for their legendary metalwork.

The Gloaming lands draw much influence from celtic folklore. The planet is heavy with the dual influence of the feywild and the shadowfell, and the inhabitants are often independent, rugged, and cautious.

While the planets each have their own strong cultural characteristics, The moons of Honua and the settlements which reside there are much more metropolitan, often resulting in a blend of Honua’s many cultures, and forging their own identity.

The religion of Honua is as varied it's inhabitants and their cultures. Each planet holds it's own set of gods and beliefs, reflective of that planet's residents and their way of life. It would be inaccurate to say that Honua has a single religion or pantheon.

      That being said, the planets have interacted for many years, and as the inhabitants mixed, so did their gods. Some spiritual figures from one area have become popular outside of their place of origin.

## Celestial Bodies

Honua he Nui does not have a central star. Instead, The entire sphere exists suspended in a nebula. The Nebula itself gives off light and warmth, as well as bathing the sphere in a wash of colors. The planets of the Honua system revolve around Mea Hanu, a giant water world at the center of the Sphere. The nearest planets to Mea Hanu are Ufudu, Q'umir and Cundiboyacense, all circle the central planet in overlapping elliptical orbits. The next orbital ring is occupied by Lunlithos and Soleithos, two objects made of gemstone that radiate light and energy. The next orbital path is occupied by a planet referred to as The Gloaming Lands, a rocky planet covered entirely by a woven canopy tree branches, creating a net that blocks view of it's surface. After that there is the asteroid belt, and then the gas giant Rodi, a large red ball of vaporous mass with many moons. Rodi is the outermost planet of the sphere.
