 A land of fantasy, sword, and sorcery, the planet of Jaern is the main setting of PFC. About 90% of Jaern's surface is water, with archipelagos and small landmasses dotting the world. Although planar-traveling adventurers have brought technology and knowledge from all sorts of ages, the main technology level of Jaern is similar to [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_Discovery|Earth's Age of Exploration]] (1500-1600). [[gods|A single pantheon]] exists on Jaern, made up of fourteen gods. A land of fantasy, sword, and sorcery, the planet of Jaern is the main setting of PFC.

-Jaern currently orbits the star **Onra,** but it is not native to the Onra System. Originally, the planet Jaern orbited a binary star system composed of a red supergiant and a blue main-sequence star named **Bluto** and **Rebyc,** respectively. This binary pair system was called the Athor system, and the stars Bluto and Rebyc appeared to outside observers as a single star. One of the native people of Jaern, the Onivero, had incredibly developed psionic powers, and were able to predict that the red supergiant Bluto was about to explode in a supernova. In a daring plan, the [[settings:jaern:onivero|Onivero]] collectively harmonized their psionic magic across the planet to position Jaern in the blast shadow of the blue main-sequence star Rebyc, and create a psionic shield around the entire planet.+Jaern currently orbits the star **Onra,** but it is not native to the Onra System.

 Through the help of some wayward time-traveling humans, Jaern was successfully protected by the shield, but was sling-shot out of the Athor system, and hurled through interstellar space as a rogue planet. The native people of Jaern went into a cryo-hibernation as their oceans froze over, with some lizards living deep beneath the waters subsisting on geothermal warmth to survive. Through the help of some wayward time-traveling humans, Jaern was successfully protected by the shield, but was sling-shot out of the Athor system, and hurled through interstellar space as a rogue planet.

 The Onra system is quite large, totaling seven planets. From closest to Onra to furthest away, these include **Hydor,** planet of lava; **Bastrador,** an arid desert world; **Jaern** itself; **[[settings:kleemudor|Kleemudor]],** an icy world inhabited by a unique race of lizards; **Lassidor,** a binary "planet" made up of two orbiting moons; **Peridor,** a greenish gas giant around which orbits the moon of **[[setttings:chysyl|Chysyl]],** ancestral home of the Avians; and **Icador,** an unknown and icy world. The system also has two asteroid belts: one composed of Torandor's shattered remains, and one composed of dust and ice named Sahndi. The Onra system is quite large, totaling seven planets.
