'''Achaea''' is the planet closest to the [[sun]]. The world is spherical or near-spherical in shape and | [[file:Delphinus_worldmap.jpg|thumb|The continents of Sapience (top) and Meropis (bottom)]]'''Achaea''' is the planet closest to the [[sun]]. The world is spherical or near-spherical in shape and comprises significant quantities of the four [[elements]] manifested in its atmosphere, seas, solid earth, and fiery magma within. The solid earth is formed into more complex materials such as stone, minerals, and [[alchemy|alchemical]] bases, and its richness plays host to the [[plants|plant]] life that forms the basis of many thriving ecosystems. | ||
The planet of Achaea is orbited by a single [[moon]] and surrounded by three rings. The first and innermost ring is a glassy obsidian in colour, the middle ring is a gleaming silver, and the outermost is comprised of pale crystal. The orbit of the comet [[Ethian]] brings it close to Achaea on an annual basis during a time known as [[Ethian's Crossing]]. | The planet of Achaea is orbited by a single [[moon]] and surrounded by three rings.
