Worldly Differences

Main Difference

Sitiath is different from a standard world in one key way. Sitiath doesn't rotate like the earth does. In fact, the cosmology of Sitiath is very much like the geocentric model of ancient philosophers and astronomers (see here).

The sun and the moon (which are actually the cores of the Positive and Negative energy planes) rotate around Sitiath, and they have a fixed angle relative to the equator. They are not positioned directly over the equator, but are about 25 degrees north or south of the equator. This means that there are areas of constant day and constant night at the north and south poles, respectively.

Seasons

One might think that since the sun is in the same position in the sky at all times that there were no seasons, but they would be wrong. The elemental planes also rotate around Sitiath (though at a much slower rate of one revolution per year) and are in close enough proximity that they affect the weather and the seasons on Sitiath.
