The Realm

The world of Soura

Beneath the sun Kaelah and the silver eye of the moon Olmish turns a world with years of history — its own heavens, its own calendar, gods of every domain and eighteen great lineages. This is no generic backdrop. This is a place.

The heavens over Soura — sun, moon and planets
The heavens

A sky that truly turns

Soura rides through the dark in the company of six planets, warmed by the sun Kaelah and watched over by the moon Olmish, whose face waxes and wanes across a twenty-eight-day cycle. In the virtual tabletop, that very moon hangs overhead at its true phase for the date you're playing — astronomy you can look up at.

Twelve beasts mark the year

Souran time is reckoned in twelve animal months, from the Bear to the Wolf, each of thirty days — a 360-day year counted forward in the Kaelah Era. Within each month turns a cycle of thirty named days, from the Horse to the Owl, anchored to the phases of Olmish above.
