Planet Fact Sheet

Overview

The Physical World

Nyracii is an earth-like planet with a similar axial-tilt (about 24 degrees) that produces four distinct seasons - Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. It orbits around a Class G (Sun-like) star, with an orbital year of 378 days, an orbital day of 28 hours, and a leap year every third year.

Nyracii has two distinct moons - Idolais, the greater moon, is approximately the same size as Earth\'s Moon, while Mimar, the lesser moon, is roughly one-third the size of its larger partner. As Mimar orbits further from Nyracii than Idolais, Mimar\'s effects on the planet\'s tides are minimal, though one should still beware when the two moons are in sync. Idolais shines a silvery blue color, while Mimar is a rusty red.

The Continents

Nyracii has three major continents, several fairly large islands, and an uncountable number of tiny islands. It contains the full range of ecosystems, from tundra to jungle, providing ample variation.

Culture

Myrsilkain Culture

The Myrsilk make up one of the six major cultures currently known to inhabit Nyracii. 

Alevaharin Culture

The Alevaharin make up the second of the major cultures on Nyracii. They are a native race that tend to live in desert regions or regions with large flat landscapes.

Veciran Culture

Veciran culture is a mishmash of traditional weyr and new-world free thinking. They are currently lead by the combined efforts of a Light Court Gold and Dark Court Gold, both unbonded.

Keidan Culture

Keidan culture comes from the warrens of Koshi Keidai, rumored to reach deep into the earth, where rock turns to magma. This is a culture where only the strongest survives, and only the vicious thrive. The factions of Koshi Keidai are constantly at war with one another, and only rarely pause in their infighting to confront those they see as lesser - those in the Clans above-ground: Clan Akelara and Clan Vecira.

Dathrani Culture

The Dathra are a native race of amphibian-dragons that live in jungles and near large bodies of fresh water. Though only a subset of the race has an actual culture (those who are left to fend for themselves as newly laid eggs have no culture to speak of), they are surprisingly pervasive. The one standard across all communities of Dathra is The Mindgame, a game of puzzles and logic where the goal is to trap the opponent in his or her own mind. Winning leads to higher place within the Community at large.

Narishan Culture

The Narisho are a native species, reclusive and unwilling to involve themselves in the confrontations around them. Their lairs are in tall, remote mountains, and they rarely, if ever, descend to the lands claimed by the Outsiders.

History

Ancient Past

There are stories from the ancient past that tells of a time when the oceans turned to poison, driving the native species to either adapt or die.
