Campaign of the Month: January 2013
DANgerous Kalamar 4
Since the dawn of the universe at the hands of the Creator, the inhabitants of Tellene have looked skyward to celestial bodies that have guided them, inspired them and impacted their daily lives. The days are lit by the light of the Sun and the night-time sky is a blanket of stars. Three moons orbit the world, each with gravitational influences that produce and affect the Ocean Tides.
These bodies have been important to civilizations throughout Tellene. They have been part of religious practices and have been used for celestial navigation and orientation. By convention, astronomers grouped stars into constellations and used them to track the motions of the planet and the inferred position of the Sun. The motion of the Sun against the background stars (and the horizon) was used to create calendars, which could be used to regulate agricultural practices.
As life continues to change and develop across Tellene, many of its aspects continue to be, as they always have been, impacted by these most ancient creations.
