Umeon
Star System

The star Kin (Xin, Sin, Cin, Sykin, Sokef, et al.) has seven planets in its orbit: Dylennadra, Umeon, Ioxetus, Ull, Llosyllos, Xem, and Rin, then a dense circumstellar disk known as Shenu. Kin and Shenu share the same feature of both being Netjeru, while everything in between in the system is made up of (mostly) dormant rocks, dust, ice, and various gasses. That doesn't stop it from being a major player in many cultures, helping shape folklore and mythos.

Planets & Satellites

Dylennadra

Etymology
Weathered Palisade
Diction
die-len'na-draw
Ellipse
*
Size
*

Dylennadra is star locked, the side facing the star burnt red from absorbing Kin's heka, the far side its original natural blue colour. This planet is the largest absorber of Kin's heka, taking the brunt of the radiation seemingly unaffected by the lashes.

Umeon

Etymology
Artificer
Diction
oom'eon
Ellipse
245 Days
Size
*

The second planet in Kin's orbit with an ellipse of 245 days. Umeon is the only planet to harbour recognisable life, garnering its name as the Artificer. It has three natural satellites referred to as vanguards, from largest to smallest, Ciertes, Ylig, and Roa.

Vanguards

Ciertes

Etymology
She Adorns the Star Dome
Diction
sear-tay
Ellipse
25 or 29 Days
Size
*

The largest satellite, and due to its wobble has an odd repeating orbit between 25 and 29 days. The months are based on Ciertes's movement because it aligns with Umeon's ellipse around Kin. Gases and fire make it change colours occasionally, caused by various volcanic and other vents, as well as Kin's heka making them glow. Ciertes's size doesn't dominate Umeon's tides, it is lighter than its sister satellite, Ylig.

Ylig

Etymology
Foille
Diction

Ellipse
7 Days
Size
*

It is tidal locked like Ciertes, but is the true tide controller of the Vanguards, making up for its much smaller size in its metal-induced weight.

Roa

Etymology
Squire
Diction

Ellipse
1 Day
Size
3.3 km

A trapped disparate object from Solitas Vitalis whose orbit occurs daily. Many with ground and metal controlling capabilities have attempted to pull this rock from the sky; their efforts resulting in a strange pang of disconnect.

Ioxetus

Ull

Named for the Netjeru, Taothomet kind once believed this to be the physical form of Ull, the seed of which he was born. Now they know they were almost right, Ull did come from this planet, growing from it like in a seed in similar fashion to Cyrosophas.

Llosyllos

Etymology
Voice / Sound
Diction
loss'ee'loss

Named for the Netjeru, due to its look resembling the visages of Llosyllos.

Named after the Netjeru, Rinquilly, its barycentre warped after it depleted itself saving Rinquilly. Till then it was the most sentient of planets due to its distance from Kin.

Comets

Valbourg Eschevin   Mentandgar Etjeben

Etymology
Valbourg Magistrate
Mentandgar Scribe From The Beyond
Diction
Valbourg esha-vahn Mentandgar eh'tch'ven
Ellipse
*
Size
*

This comet has made its way into a number of cultures' folklore, namely the Valbourg and Djeart. Its name comes from the Valbourg, who first discovered it, treating its arrival (that is, being trapped by gravity) almost as if it were a new noble entering court. Its orbit is quite short, and it's not nearly as bright as The Overseer.

The Overseer

Titles
Valbourg Arbiter Mentandgar Judge of Heka
Ellipse
*
Size
*

A large, bright comet that has been pulled into close proximity of Kin. It, just like Eschevin, doesn't travel the normal paths of comets, and instead follows an almost planetary orbit around the star. These two comets sharing the same odd path is what drew so much attention to them, and the brightness of this one impressed the Valbourg, also giving it the name of The Overseer.

In the past Valbourg believed it was literally ahead of Umeon in time and could reflect back what was in the future, but was also a figure of authority, so who knew the Valbourg would be responsible for a pun, what with all the bloodlust.

Known as the Arbiter to the Mentandgar, this comet was considered responsible for the distribution of aether throughout Umeon.

Asteroids

Solitas Vitalis

Etymology
Vital Solitude
Diction

The bright trail of asteroids following Ioxetus.

Uiestemach

Etymology
Fire King from the Sky
Diction
oo-shuh-mawk

The asteroid responsible for Illandrach's death, but in reality she did it to herself using Uiestemach. Uiestemach was useful to her due to its proximity to Umeon after it wandered out of its home in Solitas Vitalis.

Forest of Ull

Etymology
Forest of Dragon Tree
Diction
oo'll
Ellipse
*
Size
*

Leftovers from planetary formation though very thin with smaller asteroids, the Forest of Ull is home to several planetoids and is encircled by the planet Ull, which was named for the netjeru as taothomet believed this was his true form in the past.

Abax Teset

Etymology
United Vertebrae
Diction
awhbacks teh'set
Ellipse
*
Size
*

Djeart have a special relationship with their spines, so it's no surprise they believe the very essence of what upholds themselves gets to have its own resting place when the Keeper ushers them into the cosmos. It is a large group of family asteroids being pulled along the same path as Xem, Llosyllos, and Ull.

The Graveyard

Ellipse
*
Size
*

Planetary formation remanents with virtually nothing going on, with only one visitor, the planet Rin that passes through two points for a short time.

Mass Bodies, Disparate Objects

Shards of Resolve

Etymology
Shenu's will in tangible form
Size
*

After Xinvos shattered Shenu into rocks, Shenu bound with local circumstellar disk objects as well as his conscious echoing through the star system, rebounding around planets, his will fractured from his physical form. The mind may wander but the body remained a protective barrier from the outer reaches of space.
