The Sun

The Sun, known under many different names all across the continent, is a flaming being of light, warmth and magical energy that sets the day apart from the night. The Sun circles the planet roughly over the north-south equator, rising in the south to set in the north.

The origin of the sun, together with it's true nature, are two of, if not the two greatest mysteries of the mortal world.

And when he saw the sun rising, he said: ''This is my lord: this is greater: the Cleaver of Daybreak and has made the night for rest and the moon for calculation. This is the determination of the Ezen, God of Gods.''

- The Holy Nirnaya, Vol.V:23:12-14

General Description

The sun is a near perfectly shaped sphere of plasma in the sky, emitting large amount of light, heat and magical energy in all directions. It is circling Argo at a hight of about 16.000 KM above sea-level, deep into the the Heavensky . The amount of light emiting from the sun is in fact so great, that if one would look at it for too long with eyes, one would go completely blind within minutes.

If one could dim thee light down for a moment and look at the sun up close, one would be able to see the sun as a flaming layer tangerine hot plasma no larger then about 30 kilometre in diameter.
