2 - NULL. Arc 1 & 2 Q&A.

Hello and thanks for reading the first two arcs! I hope you’ve enjoyed thus far. We’ll be answering a few questions that have come up - at least, the ones that aren’t major spoilers!

Q: The moon? The days? Please explain.

A: Some of this is mentioned in 1-3. Here’s a quick rundown. There are twenty hour days.

The blue moon ( also known as the pale moon ) revolves around the planet three times per day, meaning the blue moon is in the sky for three-point-three hours at a time and divides the day into six segments. This travels along the chasm around Nyx’s island ( east-west ).

The red moon ( also known as the blood moon ) revolves around the planet once every two days, meaning the red moon is in the sky for twenty hours, then gone for twenty hours. This travels perpendicular to the chasm ( north-south ).

The difference between summer and winter is far more dramatic than on earth. In the height of winter and summer, 25% of the planet is in permanent darkness. Because the blue moon orbits over the equator ( which is also the chasm ), during the middle months, lunar eclipses are common.

The world is round and the planet is heliocentric.

Q: Character heights?

A: The heights of all named or otherwise notable characters are as follows:

Aura: 5’7” or 170 cm.

Melia: 5’9” or 175 cm.

Ront: 5’6” or 167 cm.

Alraune: 4’1” or 124.5 cm.

Estelle: 6’1” or 187 cm.

Marlene: 5’5” or 165 cm.

Q: What happened to [mechanic]?

A: Every mechanic, system, or ‘rpg-like’ element is just scaffolding for the plot. For example, the skills system could tell you that throwing a jab improves your martial arts acquisition or mastery by 0.3%. However, the exact numbers are a lot less important than the fact the skill system can point out certain skills are growing / give proof of skill growth.

Thanks so much for reading!
