Anima

Anima is the name of the only known planet created by Lar. It is considered the meeting point of all creation and the Iris of Lar's Eye. It is mostly inhabited by humanoid creatures, but it is home to a plethora of intelligent races and animals alike.

## History

The history of Anima can be divided into five ages: Oblivion, Inception, Accord, Discord, and Renewal, with the final age being the most-current point in history. For a detailed overview of the five ages, check out the Timeline.

## Calendar

Anima circles Solaria; a full revolution takes exactly 420 days. That's 12 months (based on the Twelve Libridei) of 5 weeks (based on the five days of creation) of 7 days (based on on the Heptragrammaton LAROVUM) of 24 hours, with 12 hours for the day and 12 hours of the night. The days of the week are called Laris (Lar), Apponae (to Name), Regulis (Rule), Ovi (Egg), Venis (Grace), Uni (One), and Manetis (Permanent). The Twelve Months are named after the Twelve Libridei Families: Aris, Tauris, Gemnis, Cancis, Lenis, Virgis, Libris, Scoris, Satis, Capis, Aquis, Picis.

#### **Tertia**

#### **Avorsus**

> Avorsus is known as "the continent which looked away," owing the name to its history where it was spun around once during the First Tragedy. It is predominantly Pesmeni, due to the imperialist policies of Lucius during the Dark Age.

#### **Nuperus**

> Nuperus is the youngest continent on Anima, and the homeland of the Kriegsfolk. It is also the coldest and least agricultural one. Politically, it is split into three parts, the republicans on the east coast, the traditionalists in the center, and the monarchists on the west coast.

## Celestial bodies

### Lunaria

Lunaria is Anima's moon, a sister world made by Lar to reflect Solaria's light during the night so that there could always be beauty, regardless of the time of day. Lunaria is similar to Earth's moon, except it is notably closer and larger in the sky. It has a 35-day cycle, always being full on the 18th day of every month.

### Solaria

The great fiery body in the sky which gives light during the day and is reflected by Lunaria during the night. It is a testament to the power of Lar. It is said that Solaria is what the Vis looks like from afar. Every century, Solaria shifts its color to indicate that the century has changed; it shifts between red, yellow, orange, white, and pink. The pattern seems random to mortals since they are unable to grasp its grand design. Most consider the colors to be omens/blessings. Red is usually the worst, while pink is the best. Every three years, Lunaria manages to eclipse Solaria, sending a powerful wave of Vis onto Anima.

## Languages

Common is the most-spoken language on Anima, with almost everyone being taught Common in schools, while their racial language is transferred to them by their guardians or parents. The most common racial languages are Ysh, Pesmeni, and Kriegspeak.
