[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 7504821, member: 63"] Worlds are pretty multifaceted. Think about Mars in modern conception. Yeah, it's got the classic "Bringer of War" bit from the Romans, and it is an icon of 'foreign peril' because of all sorts of alien invasion stories. But it's also a beacon of exploration, the next new frontier that we hope will inspire fantastic technology. It is a barren wasteland that we hope to turn into a garden. You've even got a bit of accidental syncretism from people conflating the god Ares with the zodiac constellation Aries, and thinking the zodiac traits would also apply to Mars. So the answer to "Which is it" is "Yes." The planes in the Gyre are just worlds that have died in the past few hundred years, completely unrelated to anything the Ob did. In the vast cosmos there are TONS of worlds, and the Ob picked a handful. It was their inability to close the Axis Seal that caused the world to lose its sun, and that meant an imminent death for the planet. And that imminent death is what drew the world (and the other planets in the Ob-designed system) toward the Gyre. [/QUOTE]
