[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 9313864, member: 6790260"] At least in my case, it helps that Al-Duniyya (the mortal world) and Al-Akirah (the elemental otherworld, where Jinnistan is located) are parallel plane versions of the same planet, so they have similar orbital mechanics and overall biosphere (just Al-Akirah's is [I]much[/I] more magical, with all the attendant benefits and issues thereof). Not identical, however, which is why there wasn't an equivalent eclipse in the mortal world--orbital mechanics are very sensitive to small differences in initial conditions. I've taken at least some inspiration from Garth Nix's [I]Old Kingdom[/I] series, where the Old Kingdom and Ancelstierre are pretty clearly different planets conjoined along a particular line of space, where the Wallmakers' Wall is, but both appear to have an Earth-like Moon and Sun. (Presumably this is intentional on the part of the Seven that created the Charter, since they seem to generally like making [I]loosely[/I] similar places to live before Orannis comes along and sterilizes it all because he gets his jollies from omnicide.)
