Anesidore

Anesidore is where you live. It is the planet which Talon has crafted for you, tailored specifically to meet the needs of the Work necessary for Apotheosis.

Anesidore is threaded through from outer to inner by the Six Orbits of Space. The Six Orbits of Space perfectly iconize space itself, and are analogous to the Six Orbits of Time. The Orbits meet at their systole, where they also provide access to the Red Garden at the center of Anesidore. At their diastole, the Orbits contain both the Rose Windows set into the ceiling which iconize the Six Orbits of Time, and the wells of the Remembry situated directly beneath each Rose Window.

Anesidore orbits around a black dwarf star, with an orbital period of sixty days. This star system is situated within sight of Arachne, a large galaxy consisting of ancient red stars.

Life on Anesidore is split into Day and Night, each lasting for twelve hours. Day is when Talon is visible as Sun, and Night is when Talon is visible as Moon. You orient your Work around the cycles both of Day and Night, and the trin-day cycle of traversal from systole to diastole of each Orbit (the length of one half-Orbit): vigour days' accommodation given for traversing and completing the Work required in one half of an Orbit, and three days' accommodation given at both the Red Garden at the Orbit systole and the Remembry at the Orbit diastole.
