[Mkguild] Metamor's planet

[Raven Blackmane]

Metamor's planet is called "Earth" for the sake of convenience. For me, 
it also carries the idea that this is Earth-as-it-might-have-been, which 
is something that we see hinted at in the numerous parallels to our own 
world.

There IS a world map for Metamor, and has been for years. You can find 
the most recent version here:

There are five inhabited continents, and Metamor is on Galendor, the 
largest of these (and the first one for which we had a map).

The planet is much like Earth in all relevant aspects. There are eight 
other known planets in the solar system; the two outermost planets are 
not visible from Earth with current technology, but humans know about 
them because the gods have passed down information about the general 
arrangement of the solar system. The other planets are named after the 
Titans, the ancient siblings of the Aedra and Daedra Lords; from 
innermost to outermost, the planets are known as Fallos, Amara, Earth, 
Mephisto, Malekis, Nathales, Salestra, Lykos, and Reshina. The earth's 
moon is named after Celine, the ninth Titan, who is associated with that 
body in the ancient myths.

Cheers,

Raven


"I love science, and it pains me to think that so many are terrified of 
the subject or feel that choosing science means that you cannot also 
choose compassion, or the arts, or be awed by nature. Science is not 
meant to cure us of mystery, but to reinvent and reinvigorate it."
