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.
