Astronomy

Star charts and the wandering planets above the Valley.

正文

In the center lies the Morgrad, containing the four elements earth, water, fire and air. It is the place of transience, the heart of the inexpressible darkness of Beliar. Above all this towers the sphere of the heavens.

In the hierarchy of the universe, man is a receiver. His soul allows him to take part in the highest plane of existence, the divine spirit. Yet man's body is made from the substance of the Morgrad. He is a reflection of the world itself.

The synodic orbit of the planets, that is the course they take between two identical positions in relation to the Morgrad of our world, varies by just a few degrees every century. We therefore conclude that we are constantly moving with the rest of the universe.

When we created the first calendar, we observed the course of the moon to determine the length of the solar year.
