Ember

Ember is very similar to planet Earth, the big difference being that it has 3 moons instead of one. This does not cause too much difficulty for Ember due to gravitational forces, because the size of the moons is quite small compared to Earth’s; all three moons combined would only be about 10% larger than Earth’s moon. Ember experiences seasons similar to earth, during the winter season, the Ember system’s orbit intersects with the fringe of an asteroid belt, causing quite fantastic meteor showers. These showers are celebrated on Temos as a part of the Tsukimi culture known as Starfall.

Ember is a unique planet in that it is particularly rich in aether, an ephemeral substance that seems to be the driving force behind magic. Aether also affects the inhabitants of Ember, after just a few generations of licing here, creatures and plants will begin to show signs of aether adaptation. These signs are called enchantments and vary greatly between individuals, causing anything from a flame tipped tail to almost unrecognizeable, skeleton creatures. They are not completely random however, and can be inherited or even applied through special salves.

Aether also grants a certain level of intelligence & sentience to the species of Ember. From cats and dogs to dragons, Ember itself is relatively peaceful due to this. Some philosophers theorize that aether itself is concious, and exerts its will to maintain the peace. These claims have not been supported through any tangible evidence however, and are purely speculative.
