• Classification: Planetoid/Realm
• Relationship with Murtuane: Duane is often referred to as the twin-sister planet of Murtuane within the Alienor system, sharing a common dimensional core that pulsates with the heartbeat of both worlds, and a synchronistic orbital pattern around the Alienor Sun.
• Geography:
  • Lan’ork: The main western continent, a vast expanse echoed with the clamor of the Warring Kingdoms. It is a land of contrasts, where thriving cities border desolate battlefields, a testament to the resilience and ambition of its inhabitants.
  • Golfindely: A coastal kingdom, where the golden sands meet the turquoise sea, shimmering under Duane’s gleaming sun. Here, the air is perfumed with salt and the sweet scent of the Golfindel flowers, making it a haven for those seeking solace from the world’s troubles.
  • Marshes of Doom: A treacherous terrain, where the ground squelches underfoot and the air hums with the drone of unseen insects. Many a traveler has been lured by the exotic flora only to be swallowed by the marsh’s deceptive depths.
  • The Lavender Fields: A fragrant sea of purple blooms that stretch as far as the eye can see. The fields are a sight to behold, their soothing aroma carried to every corner of Duane on the wings of the wind, a testament to the planet’s bountiful beauty.
  • Mount Elok’ram: A towering titan of stone and ice that pierces the blue sky. Sacred to many, it is believed that the echoing roars from within are the whispers of ancient dragons, making it a site of pilgrimage for those brave enough.
  • The High Crests: These towering peaks flirt with the heavens, their snow-capped peaks kissed by the sun’s first light. It is believed that these mountains resonate with ancient energies, their stone hearts beating in time with Duane’s own pulse.
  • Southern Deserts: An ocean of shifting sands, where the relentless sun reigns supreme. Yet, it is not devoid of life. The nomadic tribes of Åsgurdy have learned to thrive here, their saurhse mounts leaving trails amongst the dunes.
  • Åsgurdy: A sprawling desert kingdom, where the sun-bleached sands hide whispers of old magic. It is home to the hardy nomads, their culture shaped by the relentless desert, with traditions as enduring as the ancient dunes that encompass them.
  • The Great Rift: A vast, yawning chasm that cuts across the continent, a scar left by an ancient cataclysm. It is said to be a gateway to the world beyond, its mysteries guarded by the very fabric of time and space.
• Inhabitants: Duane’s denizens are generally human, or humanoid (gripshawks in the Deserts, post-Phreal phasing Era)
• Interplanetary Relations: The bond between Duane and Murtuane is beyond physical proximity; their inhabitants have an interdimensional rapport that influences their cultural and spiritual developments through shared memory and experiences.
• Cultural Significance: Duane resonates with themes of duality and balance, serving as a mirror to Murtuane’s ecological exuberance with its more subdued elegance, and offering a different perspective on the shared experiences of both planets’ denizenry.
• Interdimensional Implications: Duane plays an essential role in maintaining the vibrational equilibrium of Alienor, with its relationship to Murtuane suggesting a ballet of cosmic energies that uphold the structural integrity of the cluster.

Alienor (Alíenor /a’li:(e)nor/) is a star system with 3 known inhabited planets or realms.

The Alienor roadmap is used by Georges & Salome to focus their attention on this particular dimension when they need to communicate or go there.

The 3 Realms

• The Duane
• The Murtuane
• The Phrëal

Time

Time measurement are different on the planets around Alienor. Similar to how days are measured on Earth (the time Earth takes to revolve on itself), this is an explanation of days around Alienor.

The Duane, being bigger than the Murtuane has shorter days than Murtuane. Most of the tribes and people living on the Duane have them grouped by six, called “hexades”.

Phrëal being even smaller, has the longest duration of its “days”, roughly six times longer than days on the Murtuane. However, the perception on the planet is accelerated, which makes any precise times measurement difficult, if not impossible.

Seasons are very different than on Earth, as the twin planet frequently seem to get closer, exchanging momentum around the sun of Alienor. It leads to irregular seasons, the most important being the flood periods when the planets gather.
