Cosmology

The Binary Suns Two stars share the sky of Elshore: Uhiel, the warmer and steadier light, and Namii, the smaller and more ominous companion. They circle one another closely, and Elshore turns about them both. Their twinned light shapes the seasons and is woven through the faiths of the Maan and the older lore of the Iru.
The Two Moons Two moons attend Elshore: Liir, the near and swift one, and Ressor, the far and slow one. Liir governs the strong daily tides and steadies the world's tilt, while Ressor modulates them, the two together setting the rhythm of the spring-neap cycle. Both are named in the days of the week and watched in the night-rite known as the Vigil.
The World and Its Skies Elshore is a living world of dense air, deep oceans, and restless crust, circling its twin suns at about one astronomical unit. Its sky also holds the great gas giant Tharuun, the Traveller, whose distant presence steadies the world's moons and buffers it from wandering bodies. Beneath that sky lies a hot, oxygen-rich biosphere of fern-fields, clubmoss mats, and great beasts.
The Order of Sixty-Four The civil calendar of Elshore is the Order of Sixty-Four, an arithmetic system built to be stable, auditable, and free of drift. It runs an eight-day week and a fixed sixty-four-day month, eleven months making a year of seven hundred and four days. Two moons and a star are written into its days and months, and every date is set down in a single fixed form.
Eras and Reckoning Time in Elshore is reckoned in eras hung on a single great rupture, the Chaos. Years are dated Before the Chaos, within the Years of Chaos, or After the Chaos, alongside the older Inarin Reckoning and the New Order count. The world is played across two defined ages, the present age of After the Chaos Year 50 and a later age three centuries on.
