Common Planetary Knowledge: Through lore and knowledge, the peoples of the realms and the world refer to the planet they are on as HELCA, generally understand it is a sphere, that it revolves around a sun, has a native pair of moons and an unnatural, broken moon, called “The Interloper”; All this and that there are others like it in a larger cosmos and in the solar system; At least 2 other planets are visible in the night sky understood to revolve around the same sun, with the ‘solar system’ sometimes referred to as “Ostus”. Beyond this, most PC races (and many NPC) have a basic understanding of tidal and wind currents, navigation, vulcanism, basic helio-centric cosmology, and weather are understood (to a degree), by learned people – though it is couched in mysticism, religion, and myth.

Species Relations

Sayvalod is almost 100% human, There are no elves except as travelers. There has been a purposeful attempt to keep non-human settlers out and the attitudes of the people reflect this. There are isolated pockets of mixed elven blood – villages and towns only where they are welcome for the stigma of a half breed is mostly absent and they are more seen as “exotic” (as long as they mostly keep to themselves). There are colonies still of the ancient races which once were the only ones present – the goat-like Drunnad and a few of the more reclusive animal archetype based species. There are no Merovin here – they are not tolerated, hunted and killed wherever they are found.
