The '''sun,''' sometimes referred to in literature as '''Helios''' or '''Sol''' (from which the possessive form "solar" is derived), is a vast star composed of [[element]]al fire and pure life energy not unlike that harnessed by [[unicorns]] and [[phoenix|phoenixes]]. This celestial body forms the centre of our solar system, of which only five planets past and present have been identified: [[Noxtra]], [[Somnustra]], [[Lunastra]], [[Achaea]], and [[Krenindala]]. Many other planets are known to exist and have been observed by scientists, though their names and natures remain a mystery. Today, only Achaea remains; the first three were destroyed in the saga known as the [[Eternal Night]] and the last destroyed by the [[god]] [[Bal'met]], earning him the epithet ''Worldreaver''. Though the sun is thousands of times larger than our planet, its size pales in comparison to other stars such as the now-destroyed [[Ethian]]. | The Achaean '''sun,''' sometimes referred to in literature as '''Helios''' or '''Sol''' (from which the possessive form "solar" is derived), is a vast star composed of [[element]]al fire and pure life energy not unlike that harnessed by [[unicorns]] and [[phoenix|phoenixes]].

As a primary source of life energy and light, the sun is vital to nearly all living things on the face of the planet. Its warmth allows for the temperate climate that Sapience enjoys, and its light helps the various green plants of the land to thrive (including the [[Groves]] of [[Druid]]s and [[Sylvan]]s), which in turn feed other creatures. | As a primary source of life energy and light, the sun is vital to nearly all living things on the face of the planet.
