This is the star in the center of the solar system and is
roughly the same size as Sol. It is a yellow sun with a slight reddish
tinge.

This is the closest planet to Helio and has an orbit of
about 70,000 miles. Sefi has no atmosphere and is slightly smaller than
Lacuna with an equatorial radius of 3,418 miles.

The second planet from Helio is Ucai, which orbits at a
radius 110,000 miles. Ucai is about one and a half times the size of
Lacuna and has an equatorial radius of 5,615 miles. This planet holds a
violent atmosphere of horrid chemicals in a perpetual hurricane of acid
and poison at temperatures hot enough to burn the flesh from one's bones
within minutes.

The third planet from Helio is a
massive gas giant. It is about the mass of Jupiter and lies slightly
beyond the “Goldilocks” zone for life. However, Magus produces enough
heat, light, and radiation to supplement the distance from Helio. This has
allowed life to spring up on the moons of Magus despite their placement in
the solar system.
Magus is mostly blood red in color
with an orange band about its equator. At the center of Magus is pinhole
into the Manaverse. This is known as the “Eye of Magus”. Through this hole
pure Mana seeps out and bathes Magus’ Moons.
There are six major moons orbiting
Magus, five of which either house life or did so before the Ante-Exodus.
There are 12 smaller, faster moving moons on a more distant orbit to
Magus. They are unable to support life and most of them are no more than
large floating rocks.

This is the second gas
giant in the system and has three times the mass of Magus. Kathos shines
brightly in the night sky.

This is essentially a huge ball of rock and metal about the same size as
Lacuna. It shines as a small coppery colored pinpoint in the night sky.



Once known as “The Land of Pools”.
Nibe was a warm lush planet that can be best described as a ball of
mountains and valleys. With towering mountains that extended as high as 12
miles from the lowest point of land. Between these mountains were large
valleys that were usually filled with water “Pools”. Some of these pools
were as large as the great lakes. Their were no oceans as we know them,
however many of the largest pools were connected by underground waterways
and provided a tidal effect.
When Zho passed by Nibe, it tore off
some of the atmosphere causing Nibe to experience severe temperature
shifts. These range from 250°F to
-175°F daily and has all but
destroyed life on the moon. The only remaining life forms are
exceptionally tough bacteria & fungi.

This used to be a beautiful paradise.
None of the other moons of Magus had such an array plant and wild life.
Every living thing seemed to use color in a new and wondrous way. Their
were flowers
the size of trees and the ocean glistened with iridescent algae.
Only three continents existed on
Myria and each had its own breed of people develop there. The priMyrians
lived in the temperate zone on the continent of Azra. Just below, the
continent of suZra (south Land), the suMyrians lived in the warmer, arid
regions. To the north, the norMyrians lived in the frigid wasteland
continent of Sixe.
Myria lost it’s atmosphere as Zho
tore through it. The moon’s surface was frozen solid within minutes and to
this day it is a deep freeze crypt of a now dead world.

This moon closely resembled Earth in many ways. Multiple continents,
widely varied terrains and even it’s people were exactly alike. This will
become a great mystery one day but for now, no one is aware of the people
of the place we call Earth.
When Zho clipped Hume it completely destroyed Hume’s
atmosphere and killed every living thing on the planet. The spot where
they collided tore a huge crater out of the surface. The impact also left
hundreds of fissures along the surface.

Long ago Zho revolved about Helio in the “Goldilocks Zone” and it’s
sapient inhabitants had grown very advanced. However, their experiments
led to their ultimate demise and Zho began to break orbit. For a 100
millennia it drifted further and further away. Until it was captured by
Magus’ gravity. Pulled into orbit, along with the other moons, Zho went
from planet to moon and became known as the “Zho the Destroyer”.
The surface of Zho is covered in an odd crystalline
substance that has been growing rapidly since it’s arrival in the orbit of
Magus. The entire surface is covered with this substance and gives it a
green glow.

Lacuna is a temperate planet in the grips of an ice age. It has one
Pangaea-like continent where the great majority of the sapient people
live.
Prior to the “Great Migration”, Lacuna was a mildly
tropical planet and experienced very mild season changes.

This tropical world is the largest of the indigenous moons of Magus. At
roughly one and a half times the size of Lacuna, Gorax has an increased
gravity of roughly 1.25 (it's less dense). The surface is covered with many thousands of
islands. There are also 12 small continents. The largest of them being
slightly smaller than Australia. This has led to incredible diversity
amongst life on the moon.
Most of the dominant life forms on Gorax are
archosaurian and many of them resemble the dinosaurs of our past. Although
none reach those sizes.
