Solar System

The sun is an orange dwarf star called Qaili. There are five plants. The prominent names are weirdly similar in the languages of the world. The prominent theory is that the names came from heretical gods dating back before the dawn. These gods however have been considered to be non-existent or long dead and simply made up by barbaric races to explain the universe.

The closest planet to the sun is Hadid, or the iron planet. Hadid is almost entirely made up of iron. There is a small percentage of iron oxides, but this is insignificant. The surface is beautiful, being entirely solid iron, and shines brightly in the sky due to its reflective properties. It is theorized that the sunny side of the planet turns to liquid as it rotates around the sun, but this is unconfirmed. There are no moons.

The next planet in the solar system is Gloria-Etalia. It is a mostly oceanic planet with few landmasses, the most significant being the continent of Ari. Ari is the main continent of Gloria-Etalia and is massive, containing races and nations of every different shape and size. There are seven moons, called Wahid, Kil, Alkutha, Layl, Alqamar, Rajul, and Keilsip. These names, apart from Keilsip, are very old words and it is theorized that they came from people living before the dawn. Not much is notable about these moons, with a few exceptions. Wahid and Alqamar travel directly opposite of each other. If one was to lay the planetary cycles on a map and draw a line from Wahid to Alqamar, it will almost always be a direct straight line through Gloria-Etalia to both moons. Kil is the smallest and closest moon to the surface of Gloria-Etalia. Becuase of it's distance from the planet and its uncomlicated lunal cycle, it is the used in the lunal calender system. Layl is not round but an oval shape. Keilsip is a very strange moon and is quite unlike the others. It is not round, but shaped as a three dimensional five pointed star. It also appears to be made of metal and has several divots and intricate patterns carved into the sides. It is quite small but also quite closer to Gloria-Etalia when compared to the other moons, to the point at which its shape can be disterend with the naked eye. Many believe that it was left there by Gloria-Etalia as a monument to their children. Other groups like the technobarbarians believe that the moon is the home of the gods. There are legends of children being sent to the god machine and coming back with gifts, but this is not known by the wider world and the claims could be true or false.

Alhaya is the third planet in the solar system. It is a unique planet as when viewed with a telescope it appears green. Alhaya is a Gaia planet rich in plant life, but on Gloria-Etalia little is known about the planet due to technological constraints. Alhaya has no moons but one small blue ring made of frozen ice and small rocks. The planet is also a hotbed of magical activity. Wizards from all over Gloria-Etalia have studied and theorised the magical properties of this strange planet. It is unknown whether this power can be tapped from Gloria-Etalia, or if there is an undiscovered magical connection between the two planets.

Between Alhaya and Qazam there is a phenomenon called The Niun Bawwaba. A series of beautiful gas elements orbiting in the solar system. The belt is mostly neon, causing vibrant and strange colors like pink, purple, blue, red, yellow, and others. The belt is quite large, and obscures the two other planets from view.

Qazam is the fourth planet in the solar system. Qazam is a light green gas giant with one whole moon called Janum and a “half moon” called Hubun. Hubun appears to be missing around half of its body, creating a hemisphere shape. It is unknown how this was caused, with theories ranging from natural phenomenon to the will of Gloria-Etalia. Qazam is obscured by the Niun Bawwaba for most of the year, and because of this study of the planet, particularly it’s rotation, is difficult.

Eimlaq is the fifth planet in the solar system. Eimlaq is a gas giant with a dark orange color. Despite being extremely far out from the rest of the planets it appears bigger than Qazam in the night sky on Gloria-Etalia. Like Qazam, the Niun Bawwaba obscures it and makes it hard to study. There is some debate in the religious community on whether this is the home of Gloria-Etalia, but the general consensus is that their paradise would not be so close to be seen.

Beyond Eimlaq is nothing but stars and the fabled paradise of Gloria-Etalia. Who knows what lies in the darkest regions of this holy space?
