World - Nymeria

Nym-sphere

Nym shares a Solar System with 8 other planets - there were likely once more, but some have been destroyed - the most recent to be destroyed was on the outskirts of the Solar System and has been known as to historians as Grados. In order from closest to the sun:    

Celestial Bodies of Nym

Nym usually has only a single Moon, known as Leira, but for extended periods of time, Nym has a second, distant mooon, known as the "Leaping Moon", or the "silver Charriot" in mythology, which is actually the moon of Máni, but it periodically jumps into other orbits, only to return to jump over to another planet eventually. There is also the broken moon, which isn't really a moon, but likely once was - it is a large asteroid that remains invisible from the surface of Nym most of the time, but is said to be atleast one third the size of Leira and does orbit Nym as well.  

Leira

Leira rotates around its own axis almost exactly 10 times per metric year, meaning 10 such rotations makes a Calendar Year for most inhabitants of Nym, and because of the extremely long days this creates, the moon appears to be extremely arid - but otherwise habitable - though it is unknown if anything lives there.  

The Leaping Moon

Máni has makes a journey across the orbits of the neighboring planets once per century - this journey, known as its "Pilgrimage" lasts somewhere from one to two decades, and is rarely exactly the same - elvish studies conducted in the past suggests that there are over 152 patterns it follows - seeing as it causes horrible storms when it orbits Nym, most pray for a brief stay in Nym's orbit, but many people have grown up experiencing there being two visible moons for years, until then suddenly, one leaves orbit as suddenly as it came.  

The Broken Moon

The broken moon is likely the remains of a moon that once oribted Nym, but is actually just a very large asteroid that orbits Nym. It is roughly one third the size of Seluna, but it is rarely visible.
