GEOGRAPHY:
Charm-planet of volcano magic, orbiting a pair of stars
Mystery or Counter-Charm-twin planet, seeming similar, but unknown. About 6 times apparent diameter of our moon, highly colorful. The setting for fanciful stories. The face of Mystery is generally dark during Charm's day, and light during Charm's night, because of the way they orbit each other, nearer or farther from Vivid. Faces locked together, so their far sides can't see each other.
Vivid-the bright sun
Void-the dark sun, companion body, a black hole
Triumph-large hollow pyramid, tetrahedron, floating anchored on a lake. Capital city of Charm. Description: a tetrahedron (four sided triangular pyramid) floating on a lake, metal outside. 2,000 feet on a side, accommodating 100,000 people with 100 square feet per person. (20002 = 4,000,000 square feet times half for triangle =2,000,000 divided by 100' per person = 20,000 people per floor, maybe 10 floors diminishing = 100' off bottom, of a total height of about 1,500 feet, accommodate 100,000 with room to spare)
