Astronomy

Many beings, from wolves to Elves, look up at the night sky, and have been since the dawn of time. The night sky has inspired many questions and “what ifs”. Astronomers have dedicated their lives to answering these questions.
Astronomers use a variety of mundane and magical devices in their work, namely telescopes and such devices that can magnify the sky or otherwise aid them in viewing celestial bodies. Most of these require some level of enchantment.
Currently, two theories dominate the field of study. One, and the more traditional of the two, states that there is nothing beyond Mundus, and that the stars, sun, and Mother’s Eye are  rifts to different planes. This is supported in that one can neither teleport nor scry on any of these celestial bodies, and therefore they are not locations, but tears in the fabric of reality. The second states that Mundus is at the center of the Material Plane, and that the celestial bodies all orbit the world. This is supported by the sun, moon, and stars follow predictable patterns across the sky, and that they track across it, as if they were circling Mundus. A third, and much more recent theory posits that the sun, not Mundus is the center of the Material Plane, and that many, but not all things, orbit it. This is supported by complex magical simulations showing that the “rogue stars” that travel at wildly different paths from everything else in the sky is not possible if Mundus is the center of everything, but is possible if Mundus orbits something, and that these rogue stars orbit the same thing, but at different speeds, directions, and angles than Mundus, and Mother’s Eye orbiting Mundus.
