Oerth

Adapted from Oerth & the Heavens https://worldofgreyhawk.fandom.com/wiki/Oerth_%26_the_Heavens

Oerth is but one world among many, in what is known as Greyspace. These worlds are separated by either the gulfs of space, the invisible ether, or the fragile veils of reality. Oerth travels once around the Sun every 364 days, visiting The Twelve Lairs of the Zodiac in an appointed round that never varies. The pale Great Moon, called Luna, waxes, and wanes in fixed cycles of 28 days each, upon which the months are based. The aquamarine Lesser Moon, Celene, follows a path that reveals her full beauty but four times each year, thus showing the time for civilized festivals. Both Mistress and Handmaiden, as the greater and lesser moons of Oerth are also known, are held to be worlds in their own right, though few claim to have met any visitors from those lofty realms.

Geography

The sphere of Oerth has at least four continents, the largest of which is Oerik, lying mainly in the Northern Hemisphere. Southeast of Oerik lies the much-smaller landmass of Hepmonaland, lying in the tropics. High Boros, lies at the north pole, while a fourth continent lies in the southern hemisphere. Oerth is thought to have four oceans, including the Solnor Ocean, the Dramidj Ocean that circles Telchuria, the Ocean of Storms south of Oerik, and the Sea of Thunder encompassing Polaria. Oerth also has a number of islands, the largest being Fireland in the northern Solnor, depicted on maps as being roughly half the size of Hepmonaland.
