An expanding glossary on the sky and celestial bodies.
The Raja Siena — the circular seal rumorend to encircle the world like a coat of spells —separates lesser beings from dragons and thereby divides the earth from the sky and all its celestial bodies.
THE SKY
#Look into the sky, divided by the Raja Siena, into the Realm of the Dragons and the Realm of the Avian Beasts below.
THE RAJA SIENA — DIVIDING THE SKY
“The mountain’s essence seemed to bleed into the sky, where it met the Raja Siena — the circular seal rumored to encircle the world like a coat of spells, dividing earth from sky and separating lesser beings from dragons.” [B1.C13]
THE REALM OF THE DRAGONS
“The altitude was immense, so much so that she sensed the looming presence of dragons above, their ancient energies thrumming like a distant heartbeat.” [B1.C13]
While the Raja Siena seems to function as a barrier to hinder the dragons from descending onto the world, three dragons are known to roam below the grand seal. [B1.C13]
THE REALM OF THE AVIAN BEASTS
Avian beasts roam the skys below the Raja Siena.
PLANETS

THE MOONS
As of now, 3 Moons have been mentioned: The Mother Moon Sey and her child Burs, and the Witch Moon Teharun.
SEY — THE MOTHER MOON
“The mother moon and her child began their slow, deliberate journey across the sky. Their pale light faintly illuminated the storm-ravaged mountainscape below, casting long, ghostly shadows over the peaks.” [B1.C13]
Sey is the grand moon. She bestows energy to midnight stalkers.
BURS — THE CHILD MOON
The smaller moon, known as the child of Sey.
TEHARUN — THE WITCH MOON
“Almost every night, T̰́̇ͦ̀è̸̷̸̬̤̗̊_̸̵̰̦̗̒͜ȟ̗̍ͤa̶͉͉͍̭̰̅̀̈͜ͅȓ̶̶̛̦͇͙̟̈̿͒ͮ͑̋̚͡u̟͖͔̖̙͙͆̄̿ͩͧ̃̽̓̈̌̀͟͞n rose to cast his shadow over all that was light and to swallow all Adhar.” [B1.C13]
T̰́̇ͦ̀è̸̷̸̬̤̗̊_̸̵̰̦̗̒͜ȟ̗̍ͤa̶͉͉͍̭̰̅̀̈͜ͅȓ̶̶̛̦͇͙̟̈̿͒ͮ͑̋̚͡u̟͖͔̖̙͙͆̄̿ͩͧ̃̽̓̈̌̀͟͞n rising and setting defines the witching hour. The dark moon’s veil covers the continent in darkness. He brings not the familiar darkness of night, where Sey cast her pale glow upon the world, but an absolute erasure of light. He swallows not just the light of stars and Sey’s watchful glow, but everything from erratic flashes of lightning to every last glimmer of fire on earth. His rise is absolute.
Unlike the measured grace of the mother moon, or the distant vigilance of the stars, T̰́̇ͦ̀è̸̷̸̬̤̗̊_̸̵̰̦̗̒͜ȟ̗̍ͤa̶͉͉͍̭̰̅̀̈͜ͅȓ̶̶̛̦͇͙̟̈̿͒ͮ͑̋̚͡u̟͖͔̖̙͙͆̄̿ͩͧ̃̽̓̈̌̀͟͞n moves with disconcerting speed. Where Sey is an elegant wanderer, he is a colossal force that sweeps the sky like an harbinger of bad omen. People call him a moon, but that was a misnomer born of desperate simplification. He lacks the serene surface of Sey, the crimson brilliance of Burs, or even the faint promise of something tangible. T̰́̇ͦ̀è̸̷̸̬̤̗̊_̸̵̰̦̗̒͜ȟ̗̍ͤa̶͉͉͍̭̰̅̀̈͜ͅȓ̶̶̛̦͇͙̟̈̿͒ͮ͑̋̚͡u̟͖͔̖̙͙͆̄̿ͩͧ̃̽̓̈̌̀͟͞n is of such profound blackness that not even the midnight stalker beasts can discern a structure or surface. T̰́̇ͦ̀è̸̷̸̬̤̗̊_̸̵̰̦̗̒͜ȟ̗̍ͤa̶͉͉͍̭̰̅̀̈͜ͅȓ̶̶̛̦͇͙̟̈̿͒ͮ͑̋̚͡u̟͖͔̖̙͙͆̄̿ͩͧ̃̽̓̈̌̀͟͞n might as well be a gaping hole in the fabric of the sky, a void masquerading as celestial. This unrelenting otherness is too unsettling, too incomprehensible for mortal minds to endure, and so they call him the witch moon.” [B1.C14]
