And Hero Quest Voices....for Teshnos!


Italic is from Unofficial Source


Revised for the link of Lokarnos. com, classified with the relationship to Sky Dome (17 / May / 2003).

Revised for preparation to Kralorelan Night Sky project? (19 / July / 2003)
Stars and Constellations of North and South Hinge usually appear only in Summer (South Hinge) and Winter (North Hinge) Maybe with Sky Rotation, some of them attached to Dome appear to watchful human eyes, but it is not worth to mention here.

South Path was firstly discovered in the reign of TakenEgi (See Fortunate Succession: p60) or this secret was hidden severely in the circle of Buseri cult. (See Glorious Reascent of Yelm: p.80) I don't know enough about other areas which have Good Sky Lore like Kuchawn of Kralorela or Sog City of Loskalm.

I don't have English Edition Drastic Resolution: Prax, please teach me if you want to inform me the accurate english (translated) Praxian names.

Revised for Stephen Martin's Comments (21 / July / 2003)


Some More Comments on 28 / July / 2003.

In Golden Age, some says (Dara Happans) Ten Sons of Sun, Sun and Dendara set on the same place, Orlanthi remember Stagnant Age these Stellars force oppressive way to the World and they might think tyrants did what their whim wanted. (See David Cake's Note about Moon and Planet.)

In Storm Age and Great Darkness, Sun set, sky color changed and gradually, one by one, the Stars were absorbed to other stars, disintegrated, disappeared, fell to Surface or set. (Vithelans utterly different perspective about Mythic Age Sky (Or not concerned to the temporal changes as Other People: See here)) And when all of them lost, it was Great Darkness.

In Grey Age, gradually Stars returned to Sky, one by one, but the event apparently the Sun coming back is obscured by Greg's Glorious ReAscent of Yelm. (See TI's Note about Lightfore and Dawn)

Pelanda Verenela Vithela Kralorela Others & Note

(1)<Number> after the Dara Happan names are that of Plentonius' 100 Star List in his "Glorious Reascent of Yelm", it was revised in Stellar Frequent Asked Questions in Issaries Site. See link below the corrections.

(2)Information of Book of Drastic Resolution: Prax is unofficial, but not so much of the target to Gregging for Stephen Martin (Main Editor) is now right hand man of Greg Stafford......

(3)Imther Sky Information is mostly from Harald Smith's Work and New Lolon Gospen zines. Unofficial.

(4) CharUn is from Unofficial Setting of Sons of Kargzant, [number] after the name means Aging Groups (Hunter, Warrior, Leader, Elder) of Solar Nomadic Culture. According to Sons of Kargzant, CharUn Woman aging groups (Arginu [1], Lorest [2], Tarmenu [3] and Oijampek [4]) seems not to be related to Jumpers.

(5)Kralorelan Sky Information is mostly from my unofficial setting, and future material of some unofficial set.

My Concept is:

City: Hum Chang or Jewel of Dragon?
River: Suam Chow
Dragon: Kralorela
Autumn and Winter Desert: Great Waste
Spring and Summer Field: Eastern Sea and Thousand Isles of Vithela
Forest: Thayela, or Summer Land Heaven
