I can't help but want to pronounce Myrda as mierda.
Unfortunately it was a typo and the actual name is Mydra, which is a lot less fun.
There are countless comets, asteroids, planetesimals, moons and planets in the Elyrian system. The team has been exploring what the celestial bodies in the Elyrian solar system look like. Gaze at these spectacular heavily bodies!

Wait, if there are planets is there going to be some way to get to them? My imagination is going crazy!

You can be the first to land on Angelica.

What about Selene?
I just posted a serious question on the Long Night blog article about what orbital mechanics make that possible. The gas giant Selene eclipses Angelica for a three-year period, including penumbra transit, every 52 years, evidently.
The easiest way for me to understand that is if the home planet orbits Selene every 52 years, and either Selene orbits Angelica every home-planet year or the home planet precesses a complete revolution every year.
Others have noted the signs of liquid and atmosphere on some other planets. Is this an indication of a very wide sweet band around Angelica, or an indication that they are satellites of Selene?
Sanguinis is my winter home.

I wonder if there will be meteoric metals and if they will have different properties than their Elyrian counterparts.
Caspian has mentioned meteors bringing down rare metals in the past, so it seems like it.
Do all the tribes of Mann use these names for the planets, or just those that follow the Qindred religion?

These are the generally accepted names, though don't let this small sample fool you; there are many other bodies in the Elyrian system and many of them have names that come from other sources beyond the Qindred faith. In general, the names reflect the prevailing beliefs of the people that brought awareness of those celestial objects into the common domain, rather than their names having a specifically religious significance. (In general) Many of the celestial bodies you've not yet seen have names rooted in Virtori stories and values, while the Eye is a reference to the Two-Fold Queen of the Al'Tifali.
Hope that helps! :)
Awesome!
Can't wait to see them at the night's sky ...

Lol!! Gotta appreciate a good celestial mechanic in action :) Any plans to have even more massive extra-solar objects?

THIS! I bet Snipehunter is just as excited about this as we are :)
or more....
You know, quite a few of these planets appear to be able to support life. Makes one wonder.
