Cosmology

The Cosmology of Yerth is a confusing collection of myth, science, history, and fact. Different cultures view it in different ways and even the scholars within the same schools will argue endlessly about the nature of how the cosmos and the planes are constructed.  

Observable universe

There are eight known primary celestial bodies, known worldwide by their human names:

1. Sun
2. Sarix
3. Maré
4. Yerth
5. Luné
6. Etult
7. Temura
8. Laifaé

Species perspective

Human beliefs generally hold with a geocentric universe, with Yerth at the center and all things revolving around it. Early Draimans named the planets after their own gods and these names were adopted across the world.
Elves use the human names for the different planets, but each of the bodies represents a different god and house of the elves. Elves believe in a heliocentric universe, with everything orbiting around the sun. No known records explain why the current god Tinien-Joosef is excluded from the represented planets.
Dwarves care little for the goings on of the skies, other than to cast suspicious glances upward and mutter oaths tothemselves.  

The Planes

The structure of the planes was set down in the time of the gods, even before the First World. Codified in the Sanctioned Laws, it rules the structure of all the planes, how they connect and how the inhabitants of each plane are allowed to interact with each other.   Inner planes: Those planes that make up the universe – Prime Material, Elemental, Positive Material and Negative Material.
Outer planes: Those planes that are the realms of Gods and outsiders. Fully fledged outer planes such as Elysium, Abyss, Limbo, Nirvana, and an uncounted number of demi-planes exist.
Astral plane: A transitive plane that encompasses all other planes within it. Essentially infinite and immeasurable, no time passes on this plane, food and air are not required.
