==Kethira: Sky & Stars==
Few Lythians have any real knowledge of astronomy. Most of what there is rests with pilots, astrologers, and mages, those whose livelihood depends on their familiarity with the stars and [[HarnWorld:Constellations|constellations of Kethira's sky]]. But even casual skywatchers cannot fail to note that the night sky changes with the seasons in an endlessly recurring pattern. Only the planets seem to wander aimlessly about the heavens but even the mystery of their courses will yield to diligent study.

Most star gazers study the heavens intent on discovering patterns that can be related to the lives of men and kingdoms, knowledge whetted by a desire for the power gained through successful prediction of the future. However, a few arcane loreists practice true astronomy. They own a few telescopes of widely differing capabilities, each a jealously guarded secret.

The Kethiran system contains 6 bodies. [[HarnWorld:Nolomar|Nolomar]] is the system's primary. It is circled by three terrestrial planets ([[HarnWorld:Epeon|Epeon]], [[HarnWorld:Kethira|Kethira]], and [[HarnWorld:Alaran|Alaran]]) and two gas giants ([[HarnWorld:Kenor|Kenor]] and [[HarnWorld:Mergus|Mergus]]).
