Hello everyone, Ensbridge here, I recently joined this region

Really isn't much to say about Ensbridge other than I picture it as an island nation near Africa that used to be colonised by Sweden. Weird, I know, but I strive to be creative. Anyways, happy to be here

(also i heard there's something about pie-throwing?)

Oh, here we go again~. Least I'm here to ask you to cover your face before they get started. We throw pies here as a welcoming. I think it's some sort of initiation. Kansas, Rei, and them has recipes (I think genuine ones as well).

Roxium wrote:That reminds me of a lore thing about my nation...

The Roxium Federation's home world, Roxia Prime, takes around 48 hours to make one full rotation. This means that daytime lasts close to 24 hours straight, followed by 24 straight hours of nighttime. This has resulted in the Roxium Federation adopting a 48-hour time system.

Just like real life, Roxium time has AM and PM. The difference is that both go up to 24 instead of 12. The time zones are set such that noon and midnight are at 24 o clock.

Midnight is 24 AM.

Noon is 24 PM.

This time system also means that times like 13:58 PM, 17:02 AM, 21:28 PM, and 15:57 AM happen.

:3 You know you're gonna have to show me Roxia Prime's calendar now, right? 48 hour day and night cycle, but how many days does Roxia Prime have annually? How many months are they subject to? Are they accurately able to view present day Augusta from where they're at without depending on light? That last one is unnecessary.. but still.

I like these sort of things.

Welcome to the region of 🥧!

An island off the coast of Africa...perhaps close to the southern tip? I think you may be in the right place 😉

Roxia Prime still has the same number of days in a year, and the same number of months. Due to a combination of the 48-hour day/night cycle and how long it takes Roxia Prime to orbit its sun though, a Roxium year is 2 Augusta years in length.

While Augusta itself isn't visible in Roxia Prime's night sky, its sun, called Amaterasu-Gamma 3 by the Roxium Federation, is. Augusta is around 92 lightyears away from Roxia Prime.

Vauhine’s star is not visible from Augusta because it’s both extremely far away and in the middle of a weird space time anomaly. I haven’t given thought to how much time it takes to orbit or rotate though.

I never gave any thought to how Roxia Prime's star would appear in Augusta's night sky...

New lore time!

The star Roxia Prime orbits, called Ra-Alpha 1, is a main sequence G-type star, sometimes called a yellow dwarf. Being 92 lightyears away, it is visible in Augusta's night sky, but it is hard to spot, especially with the naked eye.

Likewise, Augusta's star, named Amaterasu-Gamma 3 in the Roxium Federation, is visible in Roxia Prime's night sky as part of the Ryat-Un constellation. The Ryat-Un constellation gets its name from a now extinct tribe that worshiped it like a god back in Roxia Prime's equivalent of the early bronze age.

New poll!

Not necessarily the most inspired I admit, but I'm curious what people's thoughts are. Feel free to tell me about the options I didn't include that you like

Most of Drachmas significant Star Systems are located far from Augusta. Vaklev and Hadrox Alpha are G and K Type Main Sequence Stars so they are obviously out of the question. The Closest Drachman Controlled system to Augusta is Loman-48-X, a L-Type Brown Dwarf with a Subhabitable Planet, but thanks to that being a Brown Dwarf and thus having very low luminosity it still isn't visible.

The Only 4 Stars that Drachma owns/controls visible (And of Significance) from Augusta are Achaeon, Dagon, Astuarsis, and Beta Hadroxini. Achaeon is an A-Type Star Thirty Light Years away, Dagon is a B-Type Star Sixty Light Years Away, Astuarsis a B-A-K Trinary system about 115 Light Years away and Beta Hadroxini is a Wolf Rayet star 6,500+ Light years away.

:D With this help, I can now better differentiate Augusta's skies and "Earth's" skies. A little little chunk of Roxium's people, even though their focus wasn't on that at the time, and a little bit of Aerlanica's (and some of the Primaeri) people gets to experience the sight of "our" stars overlaying.. overlapping.. overshadowing.. (I forget the right word for it in this context) the position of the stars in Augusta's universe. Without them interfering with one another, that'd be bad.

Lore-wise, it would be good to share how "Earth's" universe is teetering closer to the Degenerate Era.. to the point where Welknets (made up celestial bodies (still trying to come up with the lore for this)) are beginning to "show up".

Imma throw a water pie(legit thing).. since I still no like mopping up the mess.
(I am (I'm not~) why everything is clean and presentable for every newcomer. "Mopping" up wasted pies after each welcoming is very time consuming.)

Yeah... Alemaris was partially inspired by Northern Norway's Polar Nights
Alemaris thanks you for the water pie, it was certainly a cooler we needed, and we understand the tedious tasks of cleaning up pies...

Alemaris hopes that we can interact more!!
Thank you!!
