- | {{settings: | + | Cahyali is a sister plane of Jaern, and the two worlds have been inextricably linked ever since a planar collision a few years ago. Multitudes of portals connect the planes, and travel has become quite commonplace. Despite being an entire planet, over half of Cahyali remains unexplored, with known landmasses being limited to a single continent, called - well, Cahyali. This world' |

- | === Nahrūl === | + | There are three moons of Cahyali, the closest and brightest one is named **Dipha**, the second brightest is named **Leine**. These two moons rise in the East and set in the West. The farthest and dimmest moon is named **Fyr** and rises West and sets East, in a highly elliptical orbit. Fyr has its own small potato-shaped satellite, named **Myn** that tumbles around in a quick elliptical orbit. Astronomers of Cahyali predict Fyr and Myn to eventually tumble out of Cahyali' |
- | [[settings: | + | There are five total planets in the Ayat System. In order from closest to farthest from Ayat, these are **Athurt,** a bluish gas giant; **Sthra,** a greyish-blue chthonian planet; Cahyali itself; |

- | [[settings: | + | ==== Geographic Features ==== |
- | * Government Type: Oligarchy | + | **Medius Ocean:** The ocean in the middle of the continent is given this name. It is small compared to those unexplored oceans outside the Cahyali continent, and is dotted by countless small islands. This ocean seems to have an oceanic ridge in its center running east-west, slowly pushing the continent apart inch by inch over millions of years. The Medius connects Cahyali to itself, and is traveled often by people from every country. |

This place is mostly equatorial and tropical, with rich lands and stunning natural sights.

+ | In the north of Cahyali, the Oxis Alliance is the smallest region based on landmass, and is a political alliance as well as a geographical region. Its climate is mostly temperate, becoming quite a bit colder towards eastern Shinneok and being subtropical at the westernmost reaches of Vervand. The Alliance has been fraught with infighting in the past, but is peaceful in the modern day - though the encroachment of Pthora is an ever-present threat. | ||

- | ===== Factions of Cahyali ===== | + | ==== The Pale Reach ==== |
+ | This region is named as such because of the snow that blankets much of its land, as well as its distance from the rest of the world. Pthora is the most dominant part of this region, with Nahrul surviving and maintaining its sovereignty despite constant threat from the east. The Pale Reach is frigid and polar for the most part. | ||

+ | ===== People of Cahyali ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The species and races inhabiting Cahyali are much the same as on Jaern, though with a few sub-divisions within them. Different species intermix and cohabitate on Cahyali, and as such a dwarf and human from the Abundance may share much more, both physically and culturally, than two humans from the Abundance and Pale Reach - for example. See the [[settings: | ||

+ | Religious tradition on Cahyali is markedly different than that of Jaern, and is much more varied. For a rundown of how Cahyalians worship, see the [[settings: | ||
