Vansyr is a planet in the Manaverse, orbiting the star Aes. Vansyr is extremely large, but due to a low-density core with a high amount of liquid magical metals, the gravity is very similar to Terra's.
Geography
Vansyr is made up of four main continents. Each continent is relatively large. Anozvan takes up the Eastern side of the planet, Halaevide encompasses the majority of the Western hemisphere, while (insert North) is smaller and is almost exactly on the North pole. Rather than having [...]
Continents
Anozvan

Anozvan is the Easternmost continent of Vansyr. Little is known about it by the planet's inhabitants, but it is primarily made up of mountains, canyons, and valleys.
Halaevide

- Main Article: Halaevide
Halaevide is the largest and Westernmost continent of Vansyr. Its geography is incredibly varied, with almost every biome and geographical feature being present at some place. However, only roughly 40% of the continent has been explored, with half of that being considered the 'safe' zone for inhabitants.
fukin north continent name pending(™)
[N] is relatively small, and situated almost exactly on the Northern pole of Vansyr. Arctic, with the edges suitable for life.
Southern Archipelago also name pending(™)
[S] is a massive archipelago between the sizes of Halaevide and Anozvan, (south cluster) takes up a large portion of the Southern hemisphere. The weather ranges from Arctic at the center, to more temperate at the edges. Extremely resource rich, however most of the megafauna enjoy making nests on the edges.
Regions
Due to the nature of Vansyr's megafauna and anomalous weather patterns, the only regions known are within the center of Halaevide. Despite this, there are several different biomes--in the Northern half the the known area, it is very mountainous and cold, with the Eastern side being heavily forested. In the Southwest, the land is a boggy, waterlogged swamp full of dangerous flora and fauna. The Eastern side of the area is heavily forested, going from a coniferous forest at the Northernmost point, to a deciduous forest that encompasses the rest of the known area. The central and Midwest sections are a lush grassland. The very Southern tip turns to a desert, but the desert is an extremely dangerous area. Very few will even go near it.

Vansyr is home to a wide variety of sapient races--currently the known sapient races are all humanoid and live on Halaevide.

Vansyri Calendar
Due to the large size of Vansyr, and the star it orbits, the solar calendar is rarely used. Coincidentally, the rotational speed of Vansyr is similar to that of other habitable terrestrial planets (such as Euthora and Terra), meaning that the length of a day is still approximately 24 hours. The cycle of the moon is also fairly standard, lasting about 30 days.
The Vansyri calendar is based on a cycle of seasons, with the first month being the beginning of spring and the last month being the end of winter. A full cycle of seasons is equivalent to about 1460 days (or roughly 4 "standard" years). On Vansyr, age is measured in seasons (i.e. a child of 4 years on Terra would be 4 seasons on Vansyr).
Due to the lack of central leadership, the Council keeps track of the year, for historical purposes. At SCT, the year is 954.
