==Cosmology== ===The Wall of Stars=== No one living has been to the Wall of Stars and returned. No one knows what it is made of, or why it is there. Only that it is. The fates of men, it is said, can be read through the Stars, and just as the future of the self can be read in Dreams, the future of the world can be read in the stars. There is one place though, that no stars go, sitting on the western horizon when viewed from the top of the Nail in the Vizier's palace. It is a black hole in the sky, a darker patch visible during the day, and a gaping maw of darkness at night. ===The Moons and Other Celestial Bodies=== There are dozens upon dozens of moons in the sky, ranging from Large, like the Veiled Moon, to quite small. The Azure Moon is of particular interest - it glows in such a way that it is supposedly made of glass. Only two recorded expeditions have been to the Moons, both ended in disaster. They spoke of non-elemental based life, and riches beyond imagining. It is said that the Old Gods of the Stomps had more to do with the Moons than they did to do with the Elementals. *Once, and only once, the Vizier's of the past sent an expedition to the moons. First, news of great wealth, and new peoples on them came, strange beasts and beings not linked to the Elementals, but to more, alien things. *:All that returned was the burning hulk of their sky ship, all molten glass and gold. *:On it was a single casket. In it, the still-living, severed, heads of the entire crew. Chanting over in over in voices that were not theirs, "Ours, Ours, Ours" *List of the Moons **The Veiled Moon (Largest, but why veiled?) **The Azure Moon (Glows with starlight) **The Blood Moon **The Jade Moon **The Serpent's Moon **The Shadow Moon **The Triplets (3 moons orbiting one another while orbiting the planet) **The Staring Moon ( a moon with a massive crater that makes it look like an eye) **The Stomp's Moon (A moon that can only be seen from the stomps, leading many to believe it doesn't exist) **The Liquid Moon (this moon is obviously covered in oceans that drip and flow off of it as it flies through the sky) ===The Surface of Earth and Sky=== This is the world as known by most people. The islands of earth and sky, the continents, and the seas themselves. This is more detailed in the next section. ===The Well=== The Well is a cave system that begins in New Jhelom and has exits all over the world. It is exactly what you'd expect - while dry, it is completely dark and the air is often stale. It's also used as a method of punishment. Only the Pale-Folk are known, for certain, to live down there... and there are those that suspect there are other, darker things. Occasionally people who journeyed deep into the well from the depths journey back up, gibbering messes, talking about a paradise leagues and leagues below the surface. If they ever become coherent again, they often take their families, and anyone else who will come with them, and journey back into the Well. They are never heard from again. * I heard the Well is connected to the Dungeons. But I heard some people being punished in the Well are saved by the Pale Folk. Probably just a silly story.
