The planet is tidally locked to a binary star system (Blålys & Rødlys). Only a small band around the equator is habitable. When in the sky, Blålys casts a blue light upon all of Midden. When in the sky, Rødlys casts a red light upon all of Middenhjem. Hjem has one moon, Skygge (shadow).
Lysogild
Land of Light & Fire, to the south.
Mørkogis
Land of Darkness & Ice to the north.
Middenhjem
Middle Home. Inhabited by the Mennesker and many other races and beasts.
Middenhjem is roughly split into two kingdoms: Middenost and Middenvest
Calendar
Only Middenhjem has seasons. Since Hjem is tidally locked in its orbit with the binary stars, Blålys & Rødlys, it suffers long periods of light and long periods of darkness. Those that live in the Midden record the passage of time by the alignment of Blålys & Rødlys with the moon, Skygge.
Measures of Time
- Syklus = 25 Tid & 146 Uke (at which they align on opposite horizons, ~6 years).
- Skygge is in the shadow of Hjem and can only be seen atop the highest peaks in Midden.
- Tid = A full cycle of the binary suns. (~65 days)
- Blålystid = Time of Blue Light. Blålys is high in the horizon (~26 days).
- Kveldtid = Blålys & Rødlys are both near the horizon, covering Midden in deep violet shadows (~13 days).
- Rødlystid = Time of Red Light. Rødlys is high in the horizon (~26 days).
- Uke = The cycle of the moon, Skygge (~14 days).
- Voskuke = New to Full
- Avtuke = Full to New
- Deluke (“Del” for short) = ⅛ of a Uke. (~1.8 days)
- The time in between New to Quarter to Half to Three-Quarters to Full, etc.
The most ancient Mennesker have lived for 15 or more Syklus.
