Kulthea

Kulthea

Kulthea is a fictional planet for Iron Crown Enterprises' Shadow World campaign setting. Within its solar system, Kulthea is the 7th planet of 13. From the system's sun, the order of planets is as follows: Kuluth, Rhogan, Thasia, Ithaneus, Nemeris, Kulthea, Liis, Ombari, Shiron, Xio, Atalan, Deisa, and Ianoris. Kulthea's solar orbit takes 350 days, and with a diameter of 8,600 miles, it is nearly 8% larger than Earth.

Five moons orbit Kulthea. Orhan is the largest (it can be seen in full daylight) and circles Kulthea in 70 days. This moon is very important to peoples and cultures of Kulthea, as it is home to the Lords of Orhan. Many calendrical systems are based on Orhan's movment through the sky, and the months/seasons correlate with Orhans orbital cycle. Varin is the second largest moon, and is orange in color. With its polar orbit and red color, Charon, the third moon and home to the Dark Gods, is greatly feared. The waxing of Charon, as well as the time when it reaches its zenith, are considered by many cultures to be a period of ill omen. Also, conjunctions of Charon and Orhan can disturb Essænce Flows on Kulthea (see below), causing havoc to the planet's weather and general climatic stability. Mikori is the final moon that orbits Kulthea while Tlilok, counted among the five Kulthean moons, is technically a satellite of Orhan.

The planet has a long and turbulent history, and its surface is marred by the consequences of past wars. Kulthea’s surface is dominated by water and most of the planet’s exposed land consists of fractured islands. Two continents, Emer and Jaiman, are historically important.
