Diagrams of the Universe
Prior Composition
Current Composition
At the central axis of the universe is the Acheron Nebula surrounding Acheron itself with the abyss at its core, while the Elemental sphere and Middle Kingdom of galaxies and planets surrounds Acheron and its nebula. Many planes are concentrated throughout the elemental sphere now surrounding Acheron and its nebula, the heavier elemental planes within with the more ephemeral planes without.
The lower kingdom and its realms lie at the southern hemisphere while the upper kingdom and its realms are at the northern hemisphere of the universal sphere. Where the universe was once an hourglass in shape, it expanded into a sphere when the great upper and lower kingdoms of Haman and Acheron fused. The abyss is at the core of Planet Acheron which is a part of both the lower and upper kingdoms, connected to both through the abyss by the throats and abyssal conduits of each, which form a sort of hyperspace shaft called the Great Trench or Axis.
The lower kingdom is where the underworlds are concentrated and is also called the Kingdom of Darkness. Humans would refer to it and Acheron as hell, though Acheron (vast as it is) which is more acurately Hell is only a small part of the lower kingdom. The Upper Kingdoms span a vast dominion on the furthest northern end of the Universe, and is also called the Kingdoms of Light. Haman, or Zion, called Heaven by humans, is part of the Upper Kingdom Major, while Valhalla and Elysium are part of the Upper Kingdom Minor. Many Pantheon Kingdoms, such as Tuatha of the An Dagda (upper Kingdom), Tartarus the realm of Hades (lower kingdom), Olympus of Zeus and the Olympian gods (upper kingdom), and Annwn the realm of Pen Annwn (lower kingdom), are overlapping parallel realms or demi-planes of either the upper or lower kingdoms and the worlds a pantheon is linked to. Several worlds might fall under the influence of a single pantheon to respect its deities or spirits in unique ways.

Morashtar Time
A Morashtar Year: There are 14 months in a year, and 434 days in a year compared to earth's 365 day year. That is 83 more days, and approximately 3.5 additional earth months. Not only are there more months and days in a solar year, but more hours in each day. There are 11,284 hours in a year, vs. earth's 8,760 hours, with a difference of 2524 hours. The reason for this is that Morashtar is a larger planet.
A Morashtar Day: Midnight to Midnight, 26 hours
A Morashtar Month: 31 days
Earth Date: AD 2005.
Morashtar Date: Year 1, 6th Age.
Present Earth Date: AD 2005.
Present Morashtar Date: Year 1, 6th Age.
The Lunar Months: From Fullmoon Midnight, to New Moon Midnight. Morashtar has three moons. The moon which determines the months is called Diaban-Gielas (goddess moon) and is not paired with the other two moons (Cael-Gielas and Enion-Gielas, the Son and Daughter moons) which can be seen in the sky one beside the other. Elanethel (Beautiful Daughter-is the daughter moon goddess), Caelru (Brave Son-is the moon-son god), Crielenna (Wise Mother, is the moon-mother goddess), Llewcrogh (Valiant Archer - is the moon father god and resides on Diaban-Gielas with his wife, Crielenna).

The Solar System of Morashtar is Vaos (vay-ohs), the Twin Stars Solar-system and it is also called the Leonese System after the dominant native people of Morashtar, the Elves, Shaamea, Leonese, Goblins and their ancestors the Lior. There are sixteen planets in the solar system, and two suns, one of them a binary star. The planets closest to the suns are named below in order of closet to the furthest from the suns. Both suns can be seen in the sky at the same time until the sun eclipses the binary star.
The neighboring Solar System is Antares (Red Star Solar-system). This system's planets orbit a giant red star and the system's three inhabited planets are called Antares I, II and III. The Underworld of Antares is a demi-world called Antarus which overlaps all three inhabited planets.
A) The Sun: Tirrus (star of life major)
B) Binary Sun: Middi Tirrus (star of life minor)
1) Ithaedor: Planet of fire and shadows - Uninhabitable
2) Ithcarrag: Planet of grey rock - Unihabitable
3) Morashtar: Dark gateways netherworld - Inhabitable
4) Cirsuil: Seven towers netherworld - Inhabitable by creatures with high resistance to cold-Life Sparse
5) Segalies: Planet of six moons - Uninhabitable
6) Raorash: Planet of quaking ice - Uninhabitable
7) Cirruaes: Planet of the red moon - Uninhabitable
8) Nosarddan: Planet of the dead - Uninhabitable but inhabited by undead.
9) Ardrocian: Untamable World - Surface Uninhabitable, Subterranean underworld habitable by beings with high underground survival skills. Magma, lava pits and solar crystals allow plant life and life to survive in many of the caverns.
10) Talros: Planet of Tumult - Uninhabitable
11) Seruss: Silent Planet - Uninhabitable
12) Altaer: Planet of Canyons - Uninhabitable

16) Tal Morgal: Planet of dark terror - Inhabited by a tight society and legion of unique ice and abyssal demons with no ties to Acheron, all of whom obey their chain of command willingly from King to Overseer. If a king is overthrown it is usually by a landslide vote to do so.
Acheron Time
-
1 Year is 13 Months of 30 days, 390 days in a year, with 30 hour days.
8760 Hours-Earth Year vs. 11,700 Hours-Hell Year. A year as it is measured in Acheron is approximately 4 months longer than on earth. In some regions of Acheron time holds no meaning because of time differential powers.
