The Silver Sun



Silver leaves bloom on rounded trees  Silver seas with regal whales  Silver guides display every pride  Silver brides with hidden veils  Spark of creation  First step of nine  Spark of creation  First step, mine.

The Silver Sun represents birth, beginnings, and potential. It also exemplifies the past. It is the first step on the Path of Suns. Thus, its number is 1. To some, this is the crown sun, the sun of the true north. First Sun. Genesis. The origin of all things. Other people do not bathe it in quite so grand a light. Instead, they maintain, this sun is the first step of many—a more humble look at beginnings. The true act of creation, in this latter view, lies beyond the scope of the Silver Sun. In other words, it is the primary step on the path, but not the creation of the path or the one making the journey.

The warden of Silver is Therim, and he is a tall, regal figure of sparkling light. His manner is solemn, and his words few. Therim can be called upon to aid in creation. The creatures of the Legacy are common in the realm beneath the Silver Sun. Sparkling rivers of crisp, clear water flow amid rugged, snow-capped mountains and mirrored cities of arched bridges and jeweled columns. White stone towers hold libraries of lore about all the various suns and the people who dwell beneath them, as those who study such broad topics desire a high perspective.

Makers and crafters dwell in this land as well, believing that its nature will bless their endeavors. Cities beneath the Silver Sun often hum, roar, and clank with crafting wheels, kilns, and printing presses. The tools of creation never rest here. Artists work in studios, in open courtyards, and on rooftops.

The lands beneath the Silver Sun are mountainous and cold, to be sure, but at the center of the realm lies Lu Ac Toor, the Silver Mountain. Known also as the highest vantage, Lu Ac Toor’s peak is infinitely high and colder than the coldest cold. Some of the most powerful rituals of creation must be performed on the slopes of the Silver Mountain.
