Dynamic Descriptions

The secondary sex categories or dynamics are Alpha, Beta, Omega, Beta-Alphas or Zetas, and Beta-Omegas or Thetas. A/N: I picked those particular Greek letters because I wanted all the Beta mixed dynamics to rhyme with Beta.

Alpha

Alphas are the instinctual protectors. They are typically willing to put themselves into harm's way to ensure everyone is safe, however, they will only engage in a physical fight if provoked or an unknown person gets too close to their mate or pack; especially if a mate is pregnant.

They have the longest canine teeth of all the dynamics, but they aren't very sharp. It takes intentional force behind a bite to puncture skin so Alphas bare their teeth as a warning more than a threat. The most common kind of fight is over a potential mate, and this is often the only time an Alpha's nails will protract into claws as their instincts are at the forefront of their mind instead of rational thoughts.

Their protective instincts also drive them to want to provide a suitable, comfortable place to live for their pack and mate(s). Alphas will take their time searching for just the right home that is well located to be protected from others as much as possible or will mark their territory to keep strangers away (deliveries have to be left in a lock box at the edge of the property, like a mail dropbox). Some Alpha's will even build or have a house built for their pack or make various improvements to their homes to make it perfect.

Alphas are the most fertile dynamic when impregnating someone.

Female Alphas have Ambigenitalia, both sets of primary sex reproductive organs, and can therefore impregnate others and be impregnated. They have a clitoral penis or a clitoris that when aroused elongates, fills out in diameter and has a knot structure at the bottom. When not aroused, it shrinks to between 6.5 and 12 cm or 2.56-4.72 in, staying outside the body as an enlarged clitoris. Their testicles are internal for most people but some do have theirs drop.

Female Alphas don't ovulate very frequently (typically every seventy-five days) and they're fertile for fewer days then other dynamics, which makes getting pregnant harder unless they get a fertility boost. They also experience some complications with childbirth as they normally have narrower hips than Betas, making them prefer cesarean sections over vaginal birth as they have become more widely available. Due to their body's restrictions, they more often than not only get pregnant with one pup at a time, which works out as their milk supply is below average so some parents could struggle to feed even one pup at times.

Alphas have an Alpha Voice, but they only have access to it while they have at least one mate bond, have several packmates (three or more) or a pup as it only works on closely bonded people or to specifically push dangerous people away from the pack.

Beta

Betas are the balancers, stable workers and main providers. They have the most sensitive noses which allows them to sense shifts in mood and pheromone/hormone levels in those around them. It can also affect them negatively if the space they are in is particularly smelly. Betas can mildly to moderately influence the moods of others, even strangers, depending on their own control of their pheromones. This ability can improve with practice, but typically, the more people in the space the harder it is to influence everyone to the same degree, unless the person is exceptionally good at controlling their pheromones. When bonded they have even more influence over their mate and/or packmates without practice as there is a higher level of trust in the relationship. But whether there is a close bond or not, the influence is short lived, lasting at most five minutes as it is for peacekeeping or to help keep someone calm.

Betas with excellent to exceptional control of their pheromones are capable of producing a nullifying pheromone that can cancel out any other it comes in contact with, basically resetting a space as long as no one else is putting out more pheromones. This is another balancing tool or it can be used to help someone going into heat make a quick escape. This nullifying pheromone, if used correctly, can be turned into a pheromone/hormone combo that can break down the chemical connections that create bonds; something that is completely unique to Betas.

Betas can also absorb pheromones and hormones, which allows them to help to hold off a rut/heat cycle for a few hours; fully stop a cycle that is just starting or end one early; when bonded, some Betas can absorb enough to stop a cycle at any stage. Absorbing has a rebound effect and will push Betas into either a rut or heat cycle of their own some time later. Which cycle and how long it lasts depends on their own biology, what dynamic their mate is (if they have one) and the strength of the pheromones and hormones absorbed. So a Beta who absorbed heat pheromones and hormones from an Omega that were of a moderate strength (someone who wasn't in full blown heat yet) could be pushed into their own heat a day later. This heat could last approximately 1.5-2 days long. Whereas a mated Beta doing the same thing would probably be pushed into a rut cycle for 1-2 days. The ability to absorb pheromones and hormones starts to fade as they reach fecundopause or the end of their fertility. Post fecundopausal Betas no longer have access to this skill.

When sexually satisfied, a Beta's pheromones can boost the fertility of everyone in the immediate area during rut/heat cycles. The effect can become more potent when mated or with control so contraceptives may be needed. Control can also turn this effect down, but there will always be a mild boost, even for the most disciplined. Outside of these increases and a rebound cycle, Betas are normally only as fertile as a regular human would be.

They have the shortest and bluntest canine teeth of all the dynamics, but they're still sharp enough to initiate a bond when enough force is applied.

Betas have elite level stamina. They are the main workforce as they don't have regular heat and rut cycles to throw them off their everyday activities. Having the levels of energy they do allows them to look after everyone else while also being able to do all the work left over during other people's cycles without it being too tiring.

Omega

Omegas are the instinctual nurturers. They nurture bonds, keeping the connections between everyone in the pack healthy and flourishing. They also tend to gravitate towards nurturing children, pets, plants or even all of these at once.

Omegas are the most fertile dynamic when being impregnated. They are prone to carrying more than one pup at a time in each pregnancy, most often twins (identical or fraternal) but larger numbers are not uncommon (around a 25-30% chance of more than twins). Male Omegas are able to do this as they are Bigenitalic or have Ambigenitalia. They also grow more mammary tissue during the pregnancy in order to breastfeed; for most, the tissue will reabsorb into the body after breastfeeding stops and the hormone levels lower, returning to their previous size, but some retain around an A cup of tissue that may or may not increase in size with subsequent births. Both Male and Female Omegas are above average producers of breast milk, helping their multiples survive past infancy.

Male Omega's Bigenitalia means they have a working male reproductive system, but their sperm count is low, even in heat, so impregnating someone else takes work unless they have an outside help with their fertility.

They have the second longest canine teeth after Alphas and they're also the sharpest.

Omegas gain Omega Voice after presenting. Omega Voice is most powerful in situations where an Omega feels that they are in danger of some kind as they would most likely be able to talk their way out of it, however it must be genuine danger and not a threat that is a means to get someone to use their ability. When threatened, an Omega's most useful tools are their teeth, Omega Voice and their claws which will protract if they need to defend themselves. Omega Voice is also useful for calming down unruly pups or overwhelmed packmates: blood related or pack bonded members of a household, community or compound.

Zeta

Zetas are the midpoint between Alphas and Betas. They and their Theta counterparts have the second most sensitive noses after Betas. Zetas have a mild to moderate ability to influence the mood of their packmates, pups and mate(s) with their pheromones, but no ability to influence strangers. This can of course get stronger with practice and control. The closer the bond, the stronger their ability is without refinement, but the easier it is to mess up more complex mood changes. For example, if someone is feeling angry it's relatively easy to pivot to neutral or calm as they're not directly opposing emotions, but more skill is required to push all the way to happiness and not just make the person madder.

Zetas, similar to Betas, can influence the fertility of others in cycle just by using their pheromones. Their ability, however, works at will and only with practice so there is less of a chance of accidental pregnancy, but on the other hand, if a Zeta can't control it they can't give anyone a boost.

Unlike Betas, Zetas specifically can extend someone's heat cycle by producing rut hormones and pheromones out of their own cycle to keep the heat going. This only works on those who are mated, two or more unmated people or between packmates to a lesser extent. Doing this out of cycle will push them into a mini rut, usually for the duration of the time they're helping the person(s) out. Extending a heat has the benefit of making sure mate bonds are in place and healthy for multi-person bonds and ensuring one or more pregnancies.

Their canine teeth are longer than a Betas but just as blunt, so they also can still initiate a bond.

Zetas are in the middle of the dynamics when it comes to fertility as they produce less sperm than Alphas, but more than Betas. This is true even in rut cycles for all primary sexes.

Female Zetas have Ambigenitalia and can both impregnate others and be impregnated. Female Zetas ovulate more frequently than Female Alphas (about every fifty days) and their hips are typically more in line with a Female Beta's, so they are more likely than Alphas to successfully carry a pregnancy. However, they still frequently only get pregnant with one pup at a time; in very rare instances they might have a twin pregnancy, but no more than two pups at a time. One of the reasons is they are slightly below average producers of breast milk, so multiple pups would have a hard time surviving without outside help.

Theta

Thetas are the midpoint between Omegas and Betas. They, like their Zeta peers, have a mild to moderate ability to influence the mood of their packmates, pups and mate(s), but no ability to influence strangers. They can also influence the fertility of others in cycle at will. Thetas can do the opposite of Zetas and extend someone's rut cycle.

Their canine teeth are longer than a Betas but are almost as sharp as an Omegas.

Thetas are also around the middle when it comes to fertility as they're more fertile than Betas, but less than Omegas.

Male Thetas have partial Bigenitalism as they do not have a vulva, but they do have everything else from both sets of reproductive organs. The uterus is still connected to a cervix and a canal, but the canal is connected to the anus and is separated by a wall. The wall is the Epivagina, which keeps the reproductive organs and waste separated by moving to cover the rectum for access to the vagina when aroused which also closes that half of the anal sphincter. Male Thetas and Omegas also have an internal clitoris just inside the vagina.

Both Male and Female Thetas have about a fifty-fifty chance at having one pup at a time or a random number of multiples, but usually no more than four as their hips aren't as wide as an Omegas. They can also be over-producers of breast milk making them the biggest suppliers of all of the dynamics. It depends on how many babies they have to feed and how many other babies they're around if their bodies will go into overdrive. Thetas are generally known to be rather generous with their oversupply of milk as they have enough to go around, maybe even to store some for later. This has earned them the title of "Wet-nurse" and anyone with a newborn, especially multiples, is all too happy to pay a Theta for their milk or court one for their pack as the mammary glands can be stimulated or encouraged to grow outside of pregnancy if needed.

Damian let out a sigh and leaned back in his chair. Closing his eyes, he tried to refocus his mind to the task at hand, though these days, he had a hard time doing that.

A soft knock at his door had him opening his eyes. Robyn, the assistant he’d hired almost ten years prior, stood in the doorway, smiling like always.

“Mr. Wayne. Are you alright?”

He grunted and sat up. “Fine. Is there something you need?”

“Yeah, the board is here. They said they’re calling an emergency meeting. I told them you were busy, but they insisted.” she was frowning now.

“Did they say what it was about?” he started shuffling his papers together into a stack and shoving them into a desk drawer.

“They did not. And when I asked, they said it wasn’t my business.”

Damian frowned and scoffed. “It most certainly is.” he stood slowly, his old age getting to him, body aching. “Well, I suppose we should see what they want.”

Robyn’s smile returned. “I suppose we should.” she offered her arm out which Damian took, grabbing his cane from where it leaned against the wall next to the door.

Slowly, the pair made their way down the hallway to the conference room. Robyn opened the door, guiding Damian in. The board sat in their respective seats, all eyes moving to Damian as he shuffled to his seat at the head of the table.

Sitting down, Damian waved at Robyn, and she stepped next to him. “Sit. I need you to take notes for me, please.”

“Of course, Mr. Wayne.” she grabbed a chair and set it next to him, pulling out a notepad as she sat.

“Alright. What is this about?” Damian addressed the people in front of him. All of them looked uncomfortable.

Tom, the head of W.E.’s legal department, cleared his throat. “Mr. Wayne, the board is concerned about what will happen to this company when you retire. To our knowledge, you haven’t made any decisions and you haven’t made an updated will to account for the changes made over the past decade.”

Damian glared at him. “I will have a will before I die. You don’t need to worry about that.”

“And when you retire?” Tom asked, clearly not happy with the answer he got.

“It will be handled.”

“Mr. Wayne, we all think it would be best if you updated your will sooner rather than later.” Val spoke. Damian couldn’t remember what she did. “If you don’t have an updated will and a retirement plan a month from now, the board will move to have you removed from your position on the grounds that you are no longer competent.”

Damian heard Robyn huff in annoyance as she wrote.

“Fine. Robyn, will you schedule a meeting a month from now with the board?”

“Yes sir.” she said, pulling out her phone.

Turning back to the board, Damian nodded once. “Right. is that all?”

“Yes. but-” Tom started to speak again, but Damian cut him off.

“Good. I’ll see you in a month.”

Standing, Damian walked away, Robyn right behind him.

When they arrived back at his office, Damian sat on the couch he had in his office. When he was younger, when he couldn’t bear to be at the manor, he’d spent far too many nights sleeping on that couch.

“Robyn, come sit.” he waved her over.

She did as he asked. “I scheduled the meeting. Do you want me to call your personal lawyer and make an appointment?”

“Not right now. Just sit a minute.”

Robyn smiled. “Okay.”

“Robyn, come here for a moment, please.” Damian called out, ignoring the scowl his lawyer gave him.

Robyn appeared in the doorway. “Yes, Mr. Wayne?” she asked, smiling as always.

“Come sit. We need to discuss some things.” Damian gestured to the empty chair in front of his desk.

Though she looked confused, Robyn did as asked, sitting in the chair.

“Good. Now, as you know, I’m currently updating my will and retirement plan.” Robyn nodded, so Damian continued. “If you’re willing, I’d like to hand the company over to you.”

“What?”

“You’ve been my assistant for almost a decade. You know how this company runs. You know what I want done and what I don’t. I trust you to make decisions. Now, if you agree to this, you’d have to stay in the position for at least ten years.”

“Sir, I don’t – um, are you sure you want me to run your company?”

“Yes, I’m sure. And over the next few years before I retire, I’d train you. And I won’t be dead, so you can call me.”

Robyn smiled. “Mr. Wayne, that would require you to learn how to use your phone.”

Damian hummed, amused. “We’ll figure it out. Do you want the position?”

For a moment, Robyn said nothing, looking at Damian. Then she nodded, “I'd be honored, sir.”

“Good. We’ll get everything written out. Once it’s finalized, we can start training.”

“That sounds good.”

Damian nodded. “That’s all I needed. You can go back to whatever you were doing. Or take a break, if you need one.”

“Yes sir.”

“Oh, and let’s keep this quiet until it’s announced.”

Robyn stood. “Of course, sir.” she said, smiling.

“Mr. Wayne?” Robyn said softly, and Damian looked up at her. “There’s two men here to see you.”

Damian frowned and looked down at the desk calendar he had, a gift from Robyn. He didn’t have anything scheduled.

“Was it scheduled?” He asked, looking back to Robyn.

“No sir.” Her voice trembled.

“Robyn, what’s wrong?”

She cleared her throat. “They, um, sir, they look like your brothers. Jason and Tim, I believe.”

Damian stared at her.

“I can tell them to leave.”

“No. Bring them up here, please.”

Robyn nodded. “Of course, sir.” She turned and left the office and Damian looked at the picture of his brothers he kept on his desk. All four of them were smiling, the only one they’d managed that day

Sighing, Damian shuffled some of his papers out of the way and into a desk drawer.

“Right in here.” Robyn’s voice wasn’t shaking anymore, thankfully. “Mr. Wayne.”

Damian didn’t look up as he said, “Thank you, Robyn. I’ll let you know if I need anything.”

“Yes sir.” Robyn left the room, closing the door gently behind her. Damian looked up.

Jason and Tim stood there.

“How…?” Words failed Damian as he stared at the two men.

Jason grinned. “Hey.”

“You…I don’t understand. You died.”

Tim frowned. “Who died?”

“Both of you.” That shocked both of them and the grin fell from Jason's face.

“What about Dick?”

Damian shook his head. “He’s gone too. He was the first.”

“First?” Jason questioned, looking a little pale.

“He died first. Then Jay, then Tim.”

“Christ.”

“Okay. Um, what about Bruce and Alfred?” Tim asked.

“They died over 60 years ago. Car accident.”

Jason and Tim stared at him.

“What about Batman?”

Damian frowned. “Batman?”

“Yeah. Who was Batman?”

“We have no Batman. I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Damian said.

Jason groaned and sat in a chair. “Fan-fuckin-tastic. No Batman.”

Tim sat as well. “What about the Justice League?”

Damian shook his head no.

“Well, shit.” Jason groaned again.

“Damian, are there any superheroes at all?”

“Like from comic books?”

“Yeah.”

“No. Why?”

“We’ll, in our world, there are. We’re vigilantes.”

“Vigilantes?” Damian was wondering who these people were and what they had taken.

“Yup. We fight crime. Well, I’m kinda a criminal, but ya know.” Jason said, a familiar grin on his face.

“I don’t, actually.” Damian snapped. He had a tendency to get angry when he had to talk about or look at his brothers too long.

Oddly, Tim rolled his eyes. “So this is what you’re like when you’re an adult.” He said, almost laughing.

“What?”

“You’re 13 in our world, so it’s kinda weird seeing you as an adult.”

“I’m 13?”

“Yeah. You’re a little demon brat.” Jason said, sounding particularly amused.

“Why do you seem so confused?” Tim asked.

Wordlessly, Damian flipped the picture of him and his brothers around. Tim picked it up and stared at it.

“In this world, I’m the oldest. Or I was.”

“Damn.” Jason said, leaning over Tim’s shoulder to see the picture. “So what was the age order?”

“Myself, Tim, Jason, and then Dick was the youngest.”

“So ages are flipped. How old were you when B died?”

“B?”

“Bruce, sorry.”

Damian sighed. “30.”

Jason whistled and Tim set the frame back on the desk, picture facing Damian.

“Okay. Any chance you know anything about interdimensional travel?” Tim asked.

“I did a research paper on it in college.”

“Cool. How do we go home?”

Damian smirked a little. “It was all theoretical. Until now, I suppose.”

“Alright. Everything is set.” Damian said, looking up at the two men he was with. They weren’t his brothers, not really, but they shared their names, faces, personalities.

It was strange to see them after he had buried them all those years ago, and the sharp heartache he’d felt then was back, but it was accompanied by a warmth he’d not felt in a long time.

“Sweet. As cool as this has been, I want to go home.” Jason said, sounding excited. He’d told Damian that he was married, something his Jason had never done, never even had a chance for it, really.

Tim wasn’t married, but Damian was certain that he was seeing someone. His Tim had dated a man, though at this point, Damian couldn’t recall anything else about it.

“Thank you, Damian, for doing this.” Tim said smiling.

Damian smiled back sadly. “Of course. I know all too well what it’s like to lose someone and not get answers.”

Tim nodded. “I suppose you do.”

“Go.” Damian said. “Your Damian misses you, even if he’ll never admit it. You two and Richard are more than likely the most important part of his life.”

Jason grinned. “Kid’s not as good at hiding it as he thinks he is. And thank you.”

Damian nodded.

“Well, off we go.” Tim whispered as he and Jason stepped over to the machine they’d built with Damian. Pressing a button, they grabbed the handles and Jason grabbed the lever.

He gave Damian one last grin before he pulled it, the two of them disappearing with a flash of light.

Damian was alone again.

The weight was different though, lighter, easier to carry. He hadn’t gotten his brothers back, but he’d gotten to see two of them smile again.

“Hey, B, I have a case to solve.”

“We have an open case?”

Tim shook his head. “No. In the other world, Damian is the only one left. Dick was murdered and the case was never solved.”

Bruce gave his third son a smile. “And you want to solve it for him.”

“Well, he doesn't have Batman or any superheroes for that matter. He deserves closure.”

“We can try.”

Robyn stepped into Damian- no it was her office now. She sighed. Damian had passed two months ago and she still thought of it as his office.

Sitting down at the desk chair, she looked down to find a file folder with a sticky note on it.

We wanted to give this to Damian, but we were too late. You seemed close so we thought you might want to read it.

Underneath it, was a second note in a different handwriting.

Don’t let anyone see this. No good way to explain it.

Opening the folder, she found the case files for the murder of Richard Grayson and Haley’s Circus. Flipping through it, she realized that it had been solved.

The decades old cold case that gave Damian nightmares had been solved.

Continuing to read it, tears ran down her face. Damian should have gotten to see this. It wasn’t fair that he hadn’t, but she was glad that it was solved. And even if nothing came of it, because she would never turn this in, maybe Damian and his brothers could rest easier.

Robyn liked to believe that they were all together now, somewhere. And hopefully they now knew what had happened to their youngest.

But this is not who I want, here, in my lab.

This is a loathsome excuse for a replica of him— my assistant is not here. He would not struggle. He would not cry. My assistant would relax to my touch, my assistant would smile and assure me that I'm doing no harm by him. My assistant would not be screaming, as you are. My assistant's body does not bend in the way this one does, my assistant's eyes are not this color. My assistant's voice doesn't sound like this.

He does not beg as you do. Does not plead for my mercy.

You, are not my assistant. You are a replica. And a poor one at that— so I wonder.

An Analysis of a Glyph from the Memorite Society: Their Creation Myth

NOTE: This is incomplete. I am also not a cultural anthropologist. I just write stories, watch OSP, and am not a guy. I hope that satisfies some credentials. The reason this is not complete and probably wildly inaccurate is because the society, as established in the first paper published in the Twitter Journal of Scientific Jokesters, is wildly misunderstood (reference to original paper) and little information since then has surfaced.

So I did some digging and research and found the glyph "Duality of Man (yeesh, we need to update that)" could also represent this civilization's creation myth.

So:

In the beginning, there was nothing. And then, there was light. It was the purest of all lights, and all was well, until one day, some light split to form color, and other light collided to form matter. With matter came shadows, because nature appreciates a balance. These shadows were separated from the light into another world, and a great wall, higher than a thousand heavens and guarded by stories and whispers told on both sides. The other side of the wall was bad. One must not cross the wall, or the shadows would taint their shadowness or the light would lose its lightness.

However, walls crumble. It’s almost to be expected, unless in the future, someone invents an indestructible wall. And when the walls crumbled, a being of the light saw their shadow counterpart. This other being, despite lacking color and all that was considered cool, was still living and deserving of respect. 

They, for about five days, were roommates. Eventually, they moved on top of the wall where the being of light opened a bookstore and the being of shadow created plants. That is why you must not neglect plants or put them in the light. They went on many adventures together, and their stories are well documented. (NOTE: we lost all these to time).

And when they stood trial, they stood it together; hands clasped in a gesture of love as they were declared guilty.

“But,” one said, eyes firm with admiration and determination. “Am I guilty?”

Suddenly, the two merged into the first human: a being of both good and evil, and capable of the one thing neither the light beings nor the shadow beings could do: set things on fire.

Over many, many years, the barrier between worlds broke down as the half-lives found their counterparts and became whole. Some had more than one counterpart, and to this day, they call towards each other. However, the ones who were whole without fragments were considered perfect, and there was much envy towards them because they were sacred. They were mirrors of the past, and mirrors show both what we love and what we hate.

-------

We have no knowledge of their gods beyond the Many-Faced God of war and medicine, with the tenth and fourteenth aspects more highly venerated in certain circles, with a dedicated cult centered around the eighth aspect. There also appears to be one god of intelligence. The deity of children, Blorbo, must be protected at all costs.

More updates as more information is found.

Definitely a better option than chalcedony, but you still shouldn't use this pair to preserve epithelial samples for more than three days.

It is also very interesting that the columnar layer persisted to some extent until the twelfth day.

Just in case you haven't heard it today, it's totally valid to call yourself a doctor even if you dropped out of college! It's basically a mad scientist tradition at this point

Nah fuck this. I didn't spend years defining and documenting a scientific method of turning people into giant animal mutants through gene manipulation to get lumped in with some fresh faced collage dropout who just happened to stumble onto the secret to reanimating corpses. Words have meanings.

Hey guys what do you think would happen if I jumped into the open vat of glowing green mystery chemicals we all keep in our labs? Super powers right?

Geography Part I

"...and Nunerion did crown the world with the great bow, Aurcus, so that we might judge the passage of time, and Belerion his son did gift it light." - exert from The Impiriad

Ring World does not receive its light or heat from a sun which it orbits, as ours does, rather it is encircled by a ring, not unlike that of Saturn, but this ring is not made of rock and ice, but a single loop that emits solar-like energy.

What is the ring made of? The inhabitants of Ring World don't know. To them it is made of the element of light, and was placed there by the gods. Their word for the ring is the Aurcus, which comes from an archaic word meaning "light bow", not "light ring", as to them the ring appeared to be a great arch in the sky akin to a rainbow, they had no way of knowing what their astronomers now know

The ring rotates around the planet north-south, whereas the planet itself spins east-west. This means that, at its extremes, the equator is almost always daytime but the poles are mostly night. If you were to stand at the equator, one 24 hour cycle would consist of 4 "days" interspersed with very short "nights." Depending on the position of the ring these "days" are called "parallel days" or "meridian days" which are used similarly to our AM and PM. The further north or south you travel the shorter the days and longer the nights become, until you reach a pole where you only have two short days interrupting almost constant night.

The result, similar to our world, is that the equator is very hot, the poles very cold, and the lands in-between are temperate. Lands in the northern hemisphere are called the Dawnlands and lands in the Southern hemisphere are called the Dusklands. However people and animals haven't evolved similarly as they have in our world, as our equator might also be hot, it does also have long, cooler nights, which don't exist on the ring world.

The output of energy from the Aurcus does not remain constant. Once every four weeks, for a period of about 48 hours, it doesn't "shine" as it usually does, but "glows". During a glow, the world is illuminated by a ghostly pale light, a lot like our world on a clear full moon night. Also, over the course of 13 months, the intensity of output pulses, when it's at its most intense the planet experiences summer, and when it's at its weakest the planet experiences winter. This means it's the same season no matter what hemisphere you are on.

So, by observation of the ring you can tell what time of the day, month and year it is, and so the Aurcus is associated with Nunerion, God of Time. His wife is Sereni, Goddess of Space, who hung the stars in the heavens, by which you can navigate space. Their son, Belerion, is the God of Light, as light comes from both the Aurcus and the Stars. His children, who he had with Elonia the Goddess of Waters, are the various Spirits of Colour, as rainbows come from light and rain. Of course not all cultures believe in this religion, just as not all people in our world believe in Jupiter or Mars but still acknowledge the planets, or they do not believe in Woden or Thor but still acknowledge Wednesday and Thursday, so I mention them here. This is an old religion that belongs to an empire, therefore its influence on many cultures is considerable.

I hope you've enjoyed this introduction to the Ring World. I can't keep calling it that though, it needs a proper name. If you like this project please follow for more and suggest a name. Thanks for reading.
