 ====== Cahyali ======
-Cahyali is a sister world of [[settings:jaern|Jaern,]] and the two planets have been inextricably linked ever since [[history:cahyali#jaernian_contact|permanent contact was established]] in 10068. Multitudes of portals connect the worlds, 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 realm, called Esrior. This world's technology is somewhat more advanced than Jaern's, hovering around the real-world equivalent of the 1910s. Cahyali worships [[:gods|the same gods as Jaern]], though many names differ and the exact method of worship varies across regions.

-Cahyali has three major continents: **Esrior, Nidaior,** and **Akhior**. Due to the magical faultline known as Esrior's Fold, the inhabitants of Esrior are unable to leave its bounds. Little is known of Nidaior or Akhior past far-flung legends of [[history:cahyali:stormwingcalamity|ancient war and great beasts]], from human and dwarven communities. Relative to Esrior, Nidaior lies to the east, and Akhior lies to the north.

 Cahyali orbits the star **Ayat**.
-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's gravity well in a hundred years or so. The three moons are a symbol for Seherine (At'ena). The Seherine Seers of Cahyali often use the moons and their positions as signs.

 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; **Ythern,** a yellowish-red gas giant; and **Pthri,** a brown gas giant. Notably, Cahyali is the only rocky planet in its system. A thick belt of asteroids orbits between Cahyali and Ythern.

 ==== Geographic Features ====
-**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.

-**Esrior's Fold**: This massive faultline rings the continent, accompanied by a host of active volcanoes in its vicinity. Due to constant storms and strong winds over the area, in addition to a disruption in the flow of magic, travel across the Fold has never been accomplished. Historians say the faultline appeared about 4,000 years ago - during the height of Imperial Dahabu - and many debate over its purpose: as a prison for Cahyali, or as a guard against what lies beyond. Esriorans refer to the lands within this faultline as Esrior, or more poetically, "within the Fold".
