Siablan Overview
Astronomy
Siablan has visible rings, 27 moons, is the size of Jupiter, and is the 6th planet of the sun Nasira, a yellow giant, in a solar system of 9.
- The nine planets of Siablan’s star system are, in order of closest to the sun: Faylla, Sivaril, Illimita, Galathey, Ascala, Siablan, Vamiela, Virolla, Kerytha.
- Siablan’s 27 moons are, in order of size: Paera, Kailu, Tanyla, Ityla, Karela, Jandara, Wireneh, Huamil, Lirinnal, Yaralei, Kargela, Zumaki, Gilrena, Trismaya, Olava, Zorora, Ralaki, Darilla, Haelani, Virxina, Genzanna, Sylna, Tanulia, Shaerra, Elyeina, Isilyn, Vamoira
Planet
Siablan’s atmosphere contains mass amounts of oxygen, facilitating large reptilian and invertebrate growth. Its troposphere extends for 50 miles high, stratosphere 100, mesosphere 200, and thermosphere 250. It would take roughly over 1,000 days to circumnavigate the globe by flight. It is roughly 7 billion years old, life is roughly 4.6 billion years old, and the first Crysalla God, Razarath, appeared roughly 150 million years ago. The first anatomically modern Crysalla appeared roughly 100 million years ago. Crysalla and the invasive Gannea are the only sapient species inhabiting Siablan pre-Gaellan Imperial time period.
- Siablan is full of enormous megafauna both like and unlike those of Earth. It is a world of monsters, and extremely dangerous for young Crysalla and Gannea. Trees on Siablan grow tall enough for an old adult Crysalla to walk under them. The planet itself is highly magically unstable rocked by volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and raging storms.
- Siablan’s flora and fauna are intentionally undefined. Siablan is home to millions of native plants and animals. They can come in any colors, including those “unnatural” on Earth, in any size, and any taxonomic clade, from extant to extinct. Siablan has numerous “parallel” species of plants and animals of Earth, both due to the practical impossibility of populating a fantasy world entirely of millions of fictional animals and plants, and the canonical mechanism of convergent evolution.
Sialla Calendar
Siablan takes 54 hours to rotate on its tilted axis, with a 3 hour dawn, 24 hour day, 3 hour dusk, and 24 hour night. Siablan takes 50 Earth-years to orbit its sun.
*Siablan’s moons do not wax and wane at the same time. Siablan measures its moon cycles by its largest and closest moon, Paera.
- The Sialla calendar divides the 50 Earth-years of a single orbit into 10 months.
- Each month contains 5 full moon cycles, and each moon cycle of 48 days (6 nights of each 8 phases), making 240 days per month.
- Each week constitutes 1 moon cycle, making 48 days per week.
- Its seasons each last for 12.5 Earth-years, or 2.5 Sialla months, or 600 days.
- Crysalla celebrate the spring and fall equinoxes and summer and winter solstices. The Spring Equinox is a tribute to East, the Summer Solstice a tribute to South, the Fall Equinox a tribute to West, and the Winter Solstice a tribute to North.
