Dranul

Dranul

Dranul, or Celestial South, is considered a Major World and a plane suitable for human habitation.

## World Intent

The World Intent may be the most single most important information about Dranul. It could be considered a primal consciousness, and it's theorized to control things such as the way Aetir is utilized, effectively creating nature.

Many more esoteric groups of non-aptitudes and even some Aetra have devoted themselves to this Intent and begun calling it "Mother Nature" since ancient times. The World Intent is known to bestow Aetra with particular Aetir affinities strong natural might such as the power to control the tides, the weather, growth of plants in smaller contexts usually, but in specific cases even control over the time of day.

It is thought that the Leylines have been distributed across the world according to a currently unknown mathematical by the World Intent, and so-called Aetir poles seem to also be under the immediate, almost algorithmic control of this entity.

## Times of Day

Dranul does not have celestial bodies revolving around it, so it does not have a day and night cycle like some smaller planes (colloquially called planets) do. Instead it is locally managed by so-called Aetir poles. The poles work in a way similar to an electro-magnetic field, shielding smaller or larger areas from radiation on a broad scale on one hand, but also decide how long an individual could expect day or night to last. These poles can be analyzed with dedicated Aetir cyclonics devices, called "clocks", which adapt to the respective poles hence remaining effective in any location throughout Dranul.

## Dranul's Geography

To call the Geography on Dranul diverse would be a most inaccurate understatement. The continents on Dranul sometimes have intricate, almost artificial shapes and forms as if they were made with an intention at some point in the far past and then gradually changed by the elements. One thing remains certain, though, Dranul is extremely old. Several tens of billions of years at least.

Dranul offers anything one may expect, such as mountains, oceans, plains, steppes, swamps, rolling hills and deep jungles. But even beyond this Dranul has more to offer; purely volcanic stretches of land, places of eternal ice and cold. Since there is no evidence that Dranul is spherical, it does not have poles, so the climate and natural occurence are largely dictated by the type of Aetir that is specifically concentrated in one area.

This leads to naturally occuring magic, such as rivers made of pure energy, flying islands, water flowing upwards and complete faunas and floras underground, existing without any other source of energy than Leylines.

## Humanity in Dranul

How exactly humans arrived on Dranul is not clear, but human civilization has existed on Dranul for at least sixty million years, a time to which the most ancient records of the national library of the Dranulian League date back to.

Contemporary scholars such as Senator Tilen Hark Darstal and Teklan den Tradthorn believe to have found evidence that Dranul may even be the cradle of human existence, the prior of whom believes human existence to be "god given", the latter of whom believes it to be a failed experiment by an existence close to, at or beyond the ninth circle.
