Tyndaridae
Tyndaridae, is the Fey name for the star system that Castores and its surrounding environs inhabit in the material plane. Tyndaridae is dominated by a large blue star that gives the system its name, and it possesses six known worlds:
Ersetu: The first planet from the star, it is a world of raw proto-matter created by the Demiurge to bring order to Castores and possibly the other worlds of the system.
Phylonoe: Little is known of Phylonoe. It appears to be a beautiful green gem in the night's sky, leading to many tales of it being a bountiful, beautiful world. That said, it is known to turn a blood red for years at a time, which is often interpreted as an ill omen. Xhali astronomers believe it might be an accidental byproduct of the torrents of raw creation from Ersetu.
Polydeuces: Referred to as Castores's 'brother world' in many ancient texts, Polydeuces is a curiosity. It appears to be a world of great oceans and seemingly inhabitable continents. It possesses a great orbital ring which holds 9 moons, much like many believe Castores once possessed. Astronomers have noticed what is believed to be the lights of cities across its surface.
Castores: Ancient models of the Tyndaridae system place Castores as the 4th planet. After the Invasion however, it is believed the world follows a more eccentric orbit, leading to its current drastic climate shifts.
Leda: Leda is the current fourth planet and the largest of the planets. It is believed to be a blue gaseous world. It possesses nine rings, though eight of them appear to be fractured. This is sometimes believed to have been the seat of the Demiurge during its presence in the system.
Zeryl: Little is known of Zeryl, it is a distant gas world far farther than even Leda. It is believed to be the world world who orbits further than Castores does during its winter years. It is purple and occasionally seems to flicker with powerful storms. It possesses a ring, though it is unclear if it is natural or like many of the artificial ones.
The edges of the system are marked by a great silvery ring, not unlike those found elsewhere in the system, but with a radius of 5.15 billion km and considerably thicker.
