    For the curious, The World of Torn incorporates several of our world's ancient pantheons, including many of the Old Norse deities. In Old Norse mythology, Sköll (meaning "Treachery") is a wolf that chases the horses that drag the chariot which contains the sun through the sky every day, trying to eat her. Sköll has a brother, Hati, who chases Máni, the moon. At Ragnarök, both Sköll and Hati will succeed in their quests.

    Alyssa Faden, the creator of Torn World, named her two moons Hodr and Mani. I am proposing placing two small satellites, spinning around each other as they orbit Mani's L5 Lagrange point, and naming them Sköll and Hati. They will appear to be chasing Mani in its orbit around Torn.

    We'll see what Alyssa thinks!

    Hi Ashenvale,

    Nice map.

    A couple of inconsistencies in the text though. Legrange is spelled (spelt?) differently in the bottom text box compared to those on the map itself. Mani and Hodr are interchanged in the bottom text box.

    Yep. Good catches! It's a draft. Lots more changes coming before tight analysis.
