Eemia

The frozen landscape of Eemia.

**Eemia** is a world of myth and mystery, located outside of the known multiverse and beyond QDOT's TRAM system. Once a lush and vibrant planet with three suns, it is now a frozen landscape filled with grandiose architecture and a blend of ritualistic science and pop culture. The history of Eemia is known through remnants found within Convergence.

## History and Background

### Ancient Eemia

Eemia was a thriving world characterized by lush forests and three suns. However, an unknown event caused one of the suns to be extinguished, plunging Eemia into a dark and cold ice age. In response, the Eemians utilized Nula technology to artificially move the planet closer to the remaining suns. They formed symbiotic relationships with bio-mechanical "Navigators" to pull the planet back into alignment. Despite their efforts, the planet eventually drifted away from the suns, leading to a permanent descent into ice.

### Helia

Eemia's attempts to keep the planet close to the active suns through Navigators led to the discovery of Helia, an unexplored and mysterious space. Many Navigators and their pilots got lost in Helia, which is described as a place of permanent nothingness. In this space, consciousness and the passage of time cease to exist, causing a lack of being. It is believed that those lost in Helia contributed to the eventual collapse and ice age of Eemia.

## Cultural Significance

### Kaleidogoths

The Kaleidogoths are Eemians dedicated to preserving the ancient traditions and cultural heritage of Eemia within Convergence. They are key sources of knowledge about Eemia's history and mythology. Kaleidogoths are known to promote a return to pre-ice age culture and are deeply connected to the Eemian Zodiac.

### Eemian Zodiac

The Eemian Zodiac consists of nine months, corresponding to the nine zodiac signs based on the sun that was most prominent in the sky during an individual's birth month. Originally, Eemia had three seasons of summer, but after the loss of one sun, the zodiac had to be reconfigured. The zodiac signs represent various characteristics and attributes associated with individuals born under specific suns during different seasons.

## Folktales and Mythology

### Rafa, Rasha & The One On The Moon

A popular Eemian folktale tells the story of Rafa and Rasha, who shared a room and looked at the moon together during its close orbit around Eemia. They created stories about "The One On The Moon," who keeps watch over the stars and the suns, maintaining the fires that warm them. The folktale explores the concept of a tether that connects individuals to the planet and prevents them from disappearing into the stars.

### Silverthorn: The Origin

Silverthorn, a child raised by family members due to his parents' mysterious journeys as Navigator pilots, embarks on a quest to find them. Despite his travels and encounters with various places and people, he does not find his parents. The story highlights Silverthorn's curiosity, yearning, and the cold environment of Eemia.
