==The Planet==

The Kolldrunn is one of three planets attached to a rogue star system, which itself was ejected from it's home galaxy an unknown number of years ago. The star, called by many different names by many different languages, is known as ''Teigkühle'' in the Teune language, which is the common language of men throughout that world.

===General Characteristics===
Kolldrunn encloses approximately 1.2713 times the volume of Earth. At the same time, the planet has a mass roughly 0.7850 times that of Earth, resulting in a slightly weaker acceleration due to gravity of 8.7 m/s '''(Note, the reduction in mass may need to be recalculated to validate this)''' over the surface of the planet. As if that was not similar enough to Earth, most of the planet is covered with ocean, with the ratio of land to ocean being 0.37, slightly more than the ratio of land to ocean on Earth. Indeed, looking at these statistics, one might almost come to the conclusion that the planet perhaps may have been designed with these features in mind.

 Though, there are differences. First, the planet does not merely contain more land. It contains approximately 1.2456 times more land than Earth. That's a total of approximately 185522083.36 km², for an additional 36582083.36 km² more land! But even more than that, the total combined landmass of the Kolldrunn is distributed quite differently over 3 major super-continents: [[Muirn]], [[Altayasländern]], and the [[Suvyetsländern]]. Another fair amount of this landmass is also distributed over countless island chains and archipelagos scattered throughout the world's vast oceans.

-===Global Weather Patterns===
+Several important planetary attributes determine the Kolldrunn's global weather patterns. First, the planet has a fairly large axial tilt, sweeping through an arc of 39.9° between summer and winter, respectively at each pole. Further, the planet is both larger and spins more slowly than the rotational speed of Earth, hence resulting in a day length of 28 hours. These attributes combined produce very large and migrating hadley belts, which extend 46.16° North and South of the equator during the spring and autumn equinoxes. This behavior results in very large seasonal swings, even in regions near the equator.
