Welcome to Ardatz, a planet turned on its side. A new accounting of time started at the impact that changed the planet forever. With the impact, many changes happened, most notably, the tilt which changed the weather and geography of the planet. The north (Eelarga) is in darkness and a frozen waste, while the south (Aeguskey) is in daylight and a desert, leaving only a small sliver of just right area (Atsegena). Another change was in specific families. Suddenly, they are able to control an element and communicate with animals that dwell in those elements. Of course, dragons have been spotted, even though they are rare.

Muintir is the focal point of Four Stars over Ardatz: Sovereigns, but in Journeys and Founders, we explore Aeguskey in Paskal’s Hope and Eelarga in Things Passed Down, and Kristjan’s Rise.
