 ====== Avishraa ======
-**Avishraa** is the largest and furthest out of the three major moons of the gas giant [[universe:mikurmiya:Kastun]], in the [[universe:mikurmiya:|Mikurmiya system]]. Like [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_of_Oz|Earth]], Avishraa is habitable, with a nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere, oceans, continents, and rich biospheres; but in many ways, such as [[concept:timekeeping#turn|day length]] and climate, is very different.   It is the central location and namesake of the Avishraan setting, particularly the continent of [[geography:sekhaa:start]], and is the home of three known sapient species: the [[takma:|takmar]], the [[xtauh:]], and the [[orghysh:]].

 <blockquote>
 ...The [[mythology:imperial_religion:lamnar:seluurin|Two]] [[mythology:imperial_religion:lamnar:khezri|Highest]] were moved by the wish of [[mythology:imperial_religion:siathar:siath|Their child]], and in the joining of Their forepaws and of Their voices They moved to fulfill it.
-At Their bidding did a great pillar rise from the bottomless depths of the Void where [[mythology:imperial_religion:lamnar:uvuun]] dwelt, and it was made of metal that burned hot, that none would attack it. And They sculpted a great bowl of the clay of Their thoughts, and placed it upside down upon its summit, and it was fired into hard stone by its heat. Then They called to them all [[mythology:imperial_religion:lamnar:|Their children]], and bade them turn to it.

 'Behold,' said They, 'We have fashioned a place for Life to dwell, as Our youngest begged of Us. In all other places in the Void, you may contend with one another as you please, but here, and here only, your struggles must be restrained. Storm may beat back Fire, but not overcome it, and the same may be said of Rock and Wind, Sea and Land. This shall be, so that none has the strength to overcome the living growing things that Our youngest has placed there, and they shall thrive in spite of you and those you kill; and for this it shall be called Avishraa, the Abode of Life. This is Our command; let it not be gainsaid.'

-The surface of Avishraa is mostly (70-80%) covered by saltwater oceans. Although minor landmasses are scattered across the surface, most of the land area is concentrated in four or five continents - depending on how closely some accumulations of small land masses must be clustered to define them as 'continents'. All three known sapient species on Avishraa live on the continent of [[geography:sekhaa:start|Sekhaa]] and its associated islands, which all lie approximately in the center of the Kastun-facing side of Avishraa; they are generally unaware of the very existence of the other continents, much less what they are like, and therefore have no names for them.
