Celestial Cycle

the Universal Clock

The two solar stars of the Alanspace system are in a binary orbit. The yellow dwarf star Uatu, and its sister blue dwarf star Juva circle each other in a twelve hundred year orbit. This system is known to the people of Aldern as the Celestial Cycle.

Through observing the stars in alignment with Juva and Uatu, the cycle has been calculated over the generation and established at a time defining mechanism for recording history, with each cycle from beginning to end being an 'age' of the world. There is a common belief among the people that major, world altering, events happen at various points along the Celestial Cycles rotation. This is a heavily debated understanding in the historical scholar circles, between the cycles prediction accuracy group and those that feel their rivals see what they want to see.
