Pyrespace is an otherwise unnamed star-system that is home to the SPELLJAMMER: SHADOW OF THE SPIDER MOON Campaign Setting.[1]
Celestial bodies[]
Pyrespace is a heliocentric system, with the system primary, a fire body known as the Pyre, lying at the center of the star system and orbited by 5 planets, their satellites, and a variety of asteroids and other bodies.[2]
The Pyre (Sun)[]
The Pyre is a fiery body that warms and illuminates the inner worlds, and is located at the center of Pyrespace.[3]
Ashen[]
Ashen is the closest planet to the fiery sun, and as such is a searingly hot world covered by a desert of white sands.[4]
Verdura[]
Verdura is the first habitable planet, and is covered pole to pole by lush, thick tropical jungles.[5]
Quelya[]
Quelya is a watery world studded with long island chains which crisscross its surface.[6]
Perianth[]
Perianth is dominated by thick, ancient forests, and has one moon, known as the Spider Moon.[7]
The Chain of Tears[]
The Chain of Tears is an asteroid belt that separates and protects the inner planets from the dangers beyond.[8]
Moradin's Forge[]
Moradin's Forge is the last planet in the system, and is a dark, frigid mountainous world.[9]
The Outer Zone[]
Beyond the Chain of Tears lies the Outer Zone, where hurtling comets, deadly meteor showers, and stranger celestial phenomena endanger unwary travelers. Most lethal of all is the bone-numbing cold of the region, as the Chain of Tears block most of the heat emanating from the Pyre.[10]
