Celestial Bodies

Celestial bodies, not to be confused with celestials, are the contents of the night sky - more accurately, whatever lies in the space above and around the world.

Celestial Bodies
Besides our world, there are six planets that have been observed in the night sky.

The first four are named after the Elemental Wilds due to the mistaken ancient belief that these planets were the Wilds themselves. They are now not believed to be Insulae.

Ignis
The first planet from the sun. A bright reddish-orange speck in the night sky. Perceived as being engulfed in heat, it is associated with the Wild of Fire.

Lapis
The second planet from the sun. A larger brown stone in the darkness, only visible through telescopes or farsight. Perceived as a barren rock, it is associated with the Wild of Earth.

Aqua
The third planet from the sun, in a similar orbit to our world. A dark blue marble that shines with clouds. Covered with water, it is associated with the Wild of Water.

It is observable for varying lengths of time each year, since it is usually on the other side of the sun to us. Some believe that it was Aqua's proximity to our world centuries ago that somehow brought about the Cascade.

Aura
The fifth planet from the sun, much further than our world. Varies from light blue to green with bands of 'cloud' barely visible across its surface. With its somewhat airy appearence, and some contending that it is 'made of air', it is assocaited with the Wild of Air.

Aether
The sixth planet from the sun, barely visible. A tiny white dot, like another star.

Cavus
The seventh planet from the sun, unperceived or perhaps ignored by Empire astronomers for not fitting in with their Elemental theory. It is too distant for easy observation.
