 Horos is a "Bishop ring"--a megastructure of a flat cylinder, like a wheel, which is tilted a bit relative to its orbit around the sun. It lacks any satellite (tides might be generated by precession). Spokes run towards a central Hub (which is always covered by clouds--there are also lower, normal clouds). [Do the spokes run from the edges only or are they more like a bicycle wheel, where spokes alternate angles for more strength?]

+  * [[Janjagre]], a fractious land of multiple petty kingdoms;
+  * [[Kastria]], a once-proud nation, prized for its artisans and intellectual sophistication, recently overthrown in a (mostly) bloodless conquest by [[Nuvonia]];
+  * [[Eastry]], a little-known and mysterious continent;
