Daystar

The daystar, also called the Son, is a bright star visible in both the day and night skies of northern Helevos, depending on latitude and time of year. The star appears to hang in the night sky near the north pole, so that on the equator it is only sometimes visible, and becomes completely invisible further south.

Position of Cronox in Syndicate space

Cronox [CRON-ox] is a S-type detached-binary star system consisting of the stars 1GD.Pa-Cordes and 1GD.Pb-Arjos. The two orbit a common barycenter at a sufficient distance for each to have its own independent planetary system. The two stars' orbital planes are at 83 degree angle from each other, which suggests that the two stars originally formed independently o…, the star Cordes is its primary sun. The star Arjos is distant enough to only be seen as a bright star, so that in the north, particularly in Anrel the two are called the “Sun and his Son”.

The daystar can only be seen in northern Helevos because the planetary orbital plane of Cordes is at an 83 degree angle to the orbital plane of the twin stars.
