The world isn’t round like our own, but has the shape of an egg, the bottom side pointed towards the sun of the system. This axis isn’t completely directed at the sun, is really points more next to the sun and makes a circle during the year. This moving of the direction of the axis causes the seasons.
The small points of the world it covered in ice because the sun hardly heats it. The bottom is very hot and humid like our tropical climate, the other area’s have also climates similar to ours only here they follow each other only in the northern direction from the tropical, not in both what we have.
Due to the sun hitting mostly only one side of the world are there lots of sea and air currents caused by the very warm South Pole water and the icy North Pole water. These currents make sure that the uneven amount of light everywhere is compensated partly, without it, half the world would be like the North Pole. Also the water lost by the many forests on the world causes clouds that reflect some of the suns radiation to prevent overheating. These clouds come down as rain again as soon it cools a bit. This happens mostly in the evening or during a whole or partly solar eclipse, which happens quite often compared to our world because of the 3 moons. The clouds filled with hot water also drift on the currents to the colder areas and so transporting some warmth to there, so in some area’s rain causes a pleasant warmt.
The world makes a turn around it’s sun in 408 days, every 11 years all three moons are full at the same time, this is the start of a new year and the spring at the same time. Because of these regularity, people tend to calculate long periods in blocks of 11 years.
Around the world turn 3 moons, their reflections and blockings of the sun light make the world a more interesting place. They cause on the bottom now and then lunar eclipses to darken the pieces of world that don’t know a night or very few hours of night a year a bit more. At the top in contrast they cause some more light by reflecting the sunlight towards the world.
The bluish: this moon consists mostly of water with a heavy metal core that generates the necessary gravity to keep it together. When the moon causes an eclips it is mostly transparent except of course for the core. There are stories of people who have seen something move in the moon during an eclips. This transparency can give some interesting possibilities to study the sun, which quite often happens, often only just because it looks pretty.
This moon makes his rounds in 17 days.
The yellow: this one looks the most like the moon of the earth, except for the fact that it is yellow. There is a presumption that a thick layer of sulphur on the surface causes this yellow colour, there are also other weird theories about it. The sulphur theory is the cause that this moon is the most interesting one to the gnomes, just by the thought of what you could do with such an enormous amount of sulphur. The rest of the world almost becomes sick by the thought of how that would smell.
This moon makes his rounds in 24 days.
The red: this one gives, in contrast to the two others some light of it’s own. This is because it exists almost completely out of magma and with that gives a vague reddish shine. This light causes that when it is very obviously present people start feeling really uncomfortable and there seem to happen strange things now and then during these moments. Of course could this also be a story of criminals who abuse the fact lot’s of people looking up frightned, or really just stories somebody made up….
This moon makes his rounds in 33 days.
Because of the direction of the axis and the eggshape of the world are there big differences between places in how long the daylight lasts. The next drawing gives an indication about how long days are on average everywhere. With the seasons this change still a bit resulting in larger arrears on the poles that have longlasting days or nights.
