"Ravimarga" means "Path of the Sun"

Notes

  • Fantasy setting with ships that move among the stars.
    • They are called "sunships."
  • Solar system with four suns, each quite distant from one another, appearing only as very bright stars in the night sky.
    • Each generates its own gravity, with multiple planets orbiting it.
  • System of planets, designed according to "Points of Light" design - few settlements, most of them large, with most shipping and transportation arranged by sunships.

The Ravimarga

  • A band of "solar winds" upon which ships may sail to move quickly from one place to the other in the Ravimarga system.
    • Requires the use of "sun sails," sails of various colors that shimmer with golden pearlescence, which can catch the solar winds and propel a ship quickly.
    • The longer a ship remains in the solar winds, the hotter it gets, with heatstroke and even spontaneous combustion of wood and cloth after too long.
  • Forms a lemniscate path, with "windstop" points along it that provide access to the myriad systems.
  • At its center is Barhis, a great port of call for many of the sun-ships.

The Golden Sun

  • System of 9 planets.
  • Considered the cradle of civilization.
