+====== Introduction ======
+While documentation of astrological research is sparse, some records depicting the lost [[Armillogion]] have miraculously survived both [[The Conflux]] and [[The Irruption]]. These documents detail a heliocentric solar system with five or six planets, an asteroid belt, and a sun which they collectively orbit.
+Various cultures on [[Nave]] have worshiped or otherwise acknowledged some or all of these celestial bodies as [[Gods]], and while it is very clear that the //Gods// are real, whether or not the planets, moons, and stars are the physical manifestations of the //Gods// which share their names remains a matter of intense theurgic as well as astrological debate.
+Two major points of these debates often center around the alleged existence of far more //Gods// than there appear to be planets and moons, and the fact that many stars are named after //Gods// as well.
+════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
+====== Sunna ======
+//Sunna// is the star at the center of the solar system, and no doubt the inspiration for or [[Gods#Sunna|the deity of the same name]].
+════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
+====== Maal ======
+Closest to //Sunna//, [[Gods#Maal|Maal]] is the smallest planet in the solar system, has one moon, and is associated with the strikingly red mineral known as [[material_lore:petrology:Maalite]] as well as a towering mountain or volcano named //Mons Maal// in [[Herabalter]] on //Nave//.
+━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+===== Moon of Maal =====
+No records survive of any common names given to or associations with //Maal's// single moon.
+════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
+====== Thalassa ======
+[[Gods#Thalassa]] is the second planet from //Sunna//, has one moon, and is the first of two planets associated with water in some way. Borrowing from its name are a common water snake, the //Lesser//—and perhaps //Greater//—//Thalassa Snake//, and an unusually massive whirlpool somewhere to the south of [[Sarducaa]] on [[Nave]] called the //Mouth of Thalassa//.
+===== Moon of Thalassa =====
+No records survive of any common names given to or associations with the singular moon of //Thalassa//.
+════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
+====== Nave ======
+If you are reading this, you are here. If you are not here, then some calamity greater still than [[The Sundering of Asterra]], //The Conflux//, and //The Irruption// combined has occurred, and the generations before applaud you for your tenacity in the very face of existence's end.
+If you are here however, then [[Nave]] is the third planet from //Sunna//, a vessel whose boundless blessings serve to enable survival for myriad life. Our planet has three moons—of which two are only visible for reasons unknown—and by all appearances is the central point upon which the //Gods// are fixated.
+━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+===== Nyx =====
+The largest of //Nave's// moons is known as [[Gods#Nyx|Nyx]], and is often depicted in statues of the //Tindremic Old God of War,// [[Gods#Camulos|Camulos]], with //Camulos// holding the moon aloft and demonstrating his control and dominance over both //Nyx// herself and her domain of //War//.
+Taking the namesake of //Nyx// is also the black—and sometimes purple-hued—mineral [[material_lore_:petrology:Nyx]].
+{{wiki:camulos.png?0x300}}
+━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+===== Ophion =====
+The middle of //Nave's// moons is known as [[Gods#Ophion|Ophion]], and is often depicted in statues of the //Tindremic Old God of Wisdom,// [[Gods#Zelua|Zelua]], with //Zelua// holding the moon aloft and demonstrating her control and dominance over both //Ophion// himself and his domain of //Wisdom//.
+Perhaps taking the namesake of //Ophion// are the //Tindremic// horn-instrument //Ophis//, a green stone favored by the //Sator// called //Ophite//, and the fabled [[material_lore:animal_materials:Ophiosquami]], [[material_lore:animal_materials:Ophiodermi]], [[material_lore:animal_materials:Ophium]], and [[material_lore:animal_materials:Ophiocorni]]—the scales, hide, teeth, and horns of [[Dragon|Dragons]] respectively.
+{{wiki:zelua.png?0x300}}
+━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+===== The Least Moon of Nave =====
+No //reliable// records survive of any common names given to or associations with the third and smallest //"hidden"// or //"missing"// moon of //Nave//.
+════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
+====== Crepitea =====
+A //belt// or //band// of countless asteroids between //Nave// and //Skadi//, //Crepitea// is associated with [[Gods#Crepitea|a deity of the same name]] who is said to govern insects, as well as materials sourced from them such as [[material_lore:animal_materials:Crepite]] and [[material_lore:animal_materials:Dense Crepite]].
+════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
+====== Skadi ======
+The fourth planet from //Sunna//, [[Gods#Skadi|Skadi]] has but a single very large moon, the largest in the solar system. The planet is associated with ice, the incredibly dense silvery-white metal [[material_lore:metallurgy:Skadite]], a very rare mineral known also as //Skadi//, and a massive ice floe on the northern coast of [[Nordveld]] called the //Shards of Skadi//.
+━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+===== Moon of Skadi =====
+No records survive of any common names given to or associations with the sizeable but singular moon of //Skadi//.
+════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
+====== Pontos ======
+Fifth from //Sunna// is [[Gods#Pontos|Pontos]], the second planet associated with water in some way. It is simultaneously the largest planet in the solar system, and has the greatest number of moons with a grand total of eight in its orbit. The only known association with this planet is the //Flow of Pontos// on //Nave//, a massive flow of water erupting from the ocean somewhere north of //Herabalter//.
+━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+===== Moons of Pontos =====
+No records survive of any common names given to or associations with the eight moons of //Pontos//.
+════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
+====== Erebus ======
+The furthest planet from //Sunna//, [[Gods#Erebus|Erebus]] is even more enigmatic than the rest of the planets. Conflicting documents indicate that it either has one or no moons, and some surviving tapestries or banners depicting the solar system as a whole exclude //Erebus// entirely.
+{{wiki:religion_house_banner.png?0x300|An artifact from prior to The Irruption, this banner is an example of Erebus being excluded from imagery.}}
+━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+===== Moon of Erebus =====
+No records survive of any common names given to or associations with the singular moon of //Erebus//, if it exists or had ever existed. Among the limited depictions of the planet which are available, some present it with a single moon, while others present it with no moon.
