-This section focuses on Jaern’s place within its (current) solar system, and its history within the cosmos. It details other bodies within this solar system, some of which are home to extraterrestrial life, and could make for interesting backstories and campaigns. While this chapter gives some general remarks about the orbits, rotations, and tilts of various astronomical bodies, more detailed measurements for the scientifically curious are provided in [[jaern:astronomy|Astronomy]].+This section focuses on Jaern’s place within its (current) solar system, and its history within the cosmos.

 Jaern is a water world - its surface is mostly water, with islands scattered about. These islands are where the vast majority of Jaernians live, with the largest landmass being [[settings:jaern:kratal|Kratal]]. Many [[lore:races:lizards|lizard]] populations live and swim beneath the waves, and the elusive [[lore:races:onivero|Onivero]] do the same - but when it comes to adventuring and most activity on Jaern, the islands are where to go.  Jaern is a water world - its surface is mostly water, with islands scattered about.

 **[[settings:jaern:geleia|Geleia:]]** Perhaps the oldest settled landmass of Jaern, and the ancestral homeland of Jaernian elves. Geleia is a mostly agricultural and rural place, split into three provincial Realms: The Kingdom, Southam, and Liston. **[[settings:jaern:geleia|Geleia:]]** Perhaps the oldest settled landmass of Jaern, and the ancestral homeland of Jaernian elves.

 +**[[settings:jaern:grp|The Great Rice Patty (GRP):]]** An expansive shallow area of Jaernian sea, adjacent to Geleia, where much of Jaern's staple crops are farmed. Much of this land is shared between dominion of Centralia, Ageron, Geleia, and certain powerful adventurers. **[WIP]**
  
 **[[settings:jaern:kratal|Kratal:]]** Located on the other side of the globe from the rest of civilization, Kratal is an isolationist land populated mainly by dwarves. Travel in and out of Kratal must be facilitated by portals, usually those accessible through the Centralia Mages' Guild's [[settings:alpha_site|Alpha Site]]. **[[settings:jaern:kratal|Kratal:]]** Located on the other side of the globe from the rest of civilization, Kratal is an isolationist land populated mainly by dwarves.

 The Ark landed on Jaern, and the Torandese refugees founded the **Empire of the Veil** on Jaern. The next few thousand years have been spent rebuilding what has been lost, and the Jaernian and Torandese peoples became the progenitors of the current population. The Ark landed on Jaern, and the Torandese refugees founded the **Empire of the Veil** on Jaern.
