Toril
Toril was the third planet from the Sun in Realmspace. It was orbited by one moon named Selûne, and by a cluster of asteroids, known as the Tears of Selûne.
Throughout most of its history, Toril was known less commonly as Abeir-Toril. The name "Abeir-Toril" was archaic, meaning "cradle of life" in an extinct and forgotten language. Since the Spellplague and the revelation of the existence of a planetary sibling known as Abeir, and the fact that both Abeir and Toril were once united, the latter name came to informally mean the formerly united worlds of Abeir and Toril.
Geography
Toril is the most populous planet in the Realmspace system , and the home of some of the most powerful individuals in this system. It has regular and prosperous ties with the various nations and factions of wildspace , and has sent out a num ber of adventuring parties, forays , and survey groups into the wild. The number of spelljamming helms found in the area indicate that more ancient civilizations had a higher degree of contact with space , and this is reinforced by the existence of long standing civilizations in the cluster that orbits the planet.
Like on Oerth , Torilian leaders andnatives recognize the existence of ex traplanetary natives much the same way as they recognize extra -planar creatures. The difference is that the Realms tend to be more tolerant to newcomers , and as such , unless the newly arrived individual makes trouble, he will be accepted. The slow trickle of smoke powder and ar quebuses into the Realms is a result of that toleration, though those who have tried massive imports have failed spectacularly.
Toril has a wide variety of habitats and a large number of terrestrial , aquatic, and avian life forms, with new species and localized variants being discovered continually. Some of these are space-related , some are native , and some are the product of other dimensions and planes. Collectors of interesting and unique life forms find Tori I an excellent setting for discovery, as well as magical creation.
Toril has a single large moon, Selune, which is inhabited by paleskinned humanoids. Unlike on the Krynnspace planets , there is no legend or record that Selune the Goddess lives on Selune the moon, though there may be gateways there from her extradimensional home.
