Mystara's Solar System

by Håvard

A few comments:
1) I decided to use the dates AC500 and AC1200 so that people can decide themselves when they want Damocles to blow up.
2) I decided that the Pyrithian Asteroid Field predate the destruction of Damocles. Damocles adds to the asteroid belt though.
3) I made Emerond another of Damocles' moons in line with Rip's idea for Alphaksis and Helae.
4) Big Rock, Crown Rock and the Three Sisters are described in the First Quest Boxed Set. The module actually suggest that they are a little bit closer to eachother, but I wanted to spread them out a bit. No specific distances are given so I felt I had some leeway. Three Sisters is the site of a tavern in space(!)
