Astronomical Isilendor
On World of Legends, we don't conform to real world Astronomy and Celestial structures. Many areas of astronomy are inspired by the real world, mythology and other fantasy media. The continent of Isilendor sees their own, unique constellations and planetary systems, the Celestial bodies such as the Moon and Suns are governed by deities. The Astronomy Skill Masters of old have created incredible content.
The Moon, The Suns and The Stars
In Isilendor, the deities are considered to control or embody the primary celestial bodies.
- Lemuria is the goddess of the Moon and said to look over the world at night, offering her light to guide the people. The Moon changes during her lifetime, becoming blood red in rare moments of grief and anger, or a supermoon when she is particularly full of glee.
- Isilendor boasts 2 Suns, Helios and Solis. They are known to be twin brothers and opposites. South and North, Order and Chaos, Tradition and Progress. Both have their influence on the world and can at times pull the continent apart.
- The Stars are said to be the children of Lemuria and the Night God, Tenebria. One such child is Lorelei, the sea goddess, who became a deity in her own right. There are a few names stars in the lore, including Narwei, the false guiding star or Laycre's heart, the true guiding star.
