Helevos (also known as Vos, or Veeos) is a temperate terrestrial world, fourth planet of the star Cordes in the Cronox binary star system. The stars Cordes and Arjos are distant binaries, so on Helevos, Arjos is only seen in the northern hemisphere as star, sometimes bright enough to be seen during the day, circling roughly over the viridgreenAnásthiasAnásthiasAnásthiasgreen
The Hirèrk Moonscale [Hee-Rerrk] (HM) is a luni-solar calendar used at least since the time of Miyarris, which measures cycles based on the moons, solar years as well as the millennia-long cycles of global climate change. Today years HM are only seen in historic works and not considered accurate in historical accounts.epochHMHMBMEepochsepochsepochepochepochepochepochHMepochsMEME
Helevos has two moons: Thea, a pink-white disc which passes through phases in the night sky, and Themsa, a bright discus-like moon that spins quickly through the night sky.
Thea
Thea is the larger moon, a disc about half the size of Earth's moon, and much less bright. It's surface coloration varies from grey to red ochre, giving Thea a pinkish light in the night sky.
Storm tides are particularly high tides, often accompanied by storm surges and dangerous flooding, which occur on Helevos every 1.3 solar years when Helevos comes into conjunction with the giant planet Kwato'or. Storm tides are at their peak within a two week period, and at their most severe when accompanied by natural storms.
Theamancy is a form of astrological divination or folk magic using observation and the cycles of the moons, Thea and Themsa, as well as the Fixed Stars.
Thea changes not only with its monthly phases, but its surface seems to change according to dust storms on the surface, and it also appears closer or further away due to orbital position and atmospheric affects.
Themsa is the second and smaller of Helevos's two moons, the larger being Thea. Themsa is a small, silvery, potato-shaped body that spins through the sky on it's long axis, so that one rotation is the basis of an hour in the Hirèrk Moonscale.
Themsa was almost certainly a large, elipsoid asteroid that narrowly avoided striking the surface, and instead was captured in orbit. Themsa is roughly potato-shaped with a large crater visible at one end, the result of an impact that set the moo…
