 ====== Kastun ======
-**Kastun** is the name in [[language:imperial:start]] for what is, almost as much as the sun, the dominant celestial body in the sky of [[Avishraa:]].
+**Kastun** is the name in [[language:imperial:start]] for what is, almost as much as the sun, the dominant celestial body in the sky of [[universe:mikurmiya:avishraa]].
 The fourth planet of the star [[universe:Mikurmiya:]], it is a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudarsky%27s_gas_giant_classification#Class_II:_Water_clouds|Class II]] [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_giant|gas giant]] slightly larger than [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturn|Saturn]]. In visible light the planet's surface appearance consists of bands of white and an only slightly contrasting off-white, pale bluish-gray color; being both large and highly reflective, it is not only the brightest object in Avishraa's sky but also one of the brightest in the Mikurmiya system as a whole.

 As Avishraa is tidally locked to its parent, Kastun remains in a stable position in the moon's sky, and shifts only slightly on a seasonal basis from the point of view of an observer; in addition, it is more or less visible, absent cloud cover, at all times of local day on the planet-facing side. As such, it is a commonly used point of reference in celestial navigation on the side of Avishraa facing the planet.
-By itself, it provides an estimate of distance to the far northern [[avishraa:geography:sekhaa:region:Heartlands]] where Kastun is nearest to [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zenith|zenith]]; in conjunction with observation of the stars and the sun, it can be used to determine one's position nearly anywhere on the planet-facing side. In many unurbanized cultures among both [[takma:|takmar]] and [[xtauh:]], among the lore taught to the young are wayfinding chants, describing prominent stars in the Avishraan sky for navigation at night, how to determine the motion of the sun during the day, the meanings of the relative positions of those inner moons visible from Avishraa, and the relationship of each to the position of Kastun itself.

 On the far side, from which Kastun cannot be seen, purely celestial navigation is complicated by the moon's lengthy local day; using sunrise or sunset to observe the relative positions of the sun and stars is only feasible every few Earth weeks. As there are no known settlements of [[species:start#enenkalar|sapient]] beings on the far side of Avishraa, the science remains relatively undeveloped.
 ==== Mythology ====
-In the [[culture:mythology:Imperial religion:]], Kastun is the home of the [[culture:mythology:imperial_religion:Siathar:]], from which they watch over and protect takmakind.
