Astra's Moons
Astra has 7 distinct moons orbiting around its main planet, Each appearing one after the other in a rotation until the pattern repeats itself!
These moons are often associated with strange effects and occurrences that give them a reputation of being omens to the world below
Each moon appears for an unknown amount of time, sometimes stretching to weeks before another will rise over the horizonThe Appearance of the sun, while uncommon is not impossible, With the days of Astra being known for their bad luck and association with death.
Titan
The first moon is the largest of the seven. Its bright glow is known to illuminate the stage as bright as the morning sun.
Nights with Titan in the sky seem to last twice as long, Often causing peoples illusion of time to warp and become distorted
On the rare occasions this moon appears the same day as a rare sunrise, Titan will often stay perfectly visible in the sky long after the sun has risen, likely setting with the sun in a dazzling Eclipse. It is said that Titan was the first to be created, and caused the creation of the other six
Rhea
the second moon of the seven is shattered; broken into a collection of pieces that are pulled together by an unknown force. Rhea is known to bring peace and good fortune to those wishing to start families and good luck to farmers hoping upon a good breeding season. Those born on the night of Rhea are said to come across great fortune in their lives, with little to no hardships.
an old legends tells of how Rhea used to be brighter than Titan, but was split into pieces to reveal her abilities to the world, causing her bright glow to dim.
Tethys
The third moon of the seven is often mistaken for the sun due to it pure size, however Tethys is in fact one of the smallest moons of the seven and certainly one of the dimmer ones, instead orbiting so close to the planet that it appears to cover the entire sky. Tethys raises the tides so high that nights when he is visible, floods are almost guaranteed in areas near running water. Many ocean creatures use the nights of Tethys to gather into a grand hunt, under the truce of his glow.
Dione
The fourth moon of the seven is almost completely invisible to the naked eye, sending the lands of Astra into pitch black darkness for the short time it appears in the sky and concealing the stars that would usually bring light and guide the mortals below.
This moon often acts as an omen for worse things to come. Nights of Dione come and leave the fastest out of the seven, and are usually mistaken for the switching of moons to those that are not paying attention.
For times when there is no soon sunrise, many towns will use nights of Dione to host executions or death festivals to rid themselves of prisoners waiting for the sunrise.
Enceladus
the fifth moon of the seven is a husk of what it once was. Having been split down the middle, the two sides of this former symbol of honor hang in the sky like a trophy of the gods. Legend says that this once glorious moon was a great warrior once upon a time; winning battle after battle with unwavering loyalty to those it was fighting for. Eventually Enceladus got tired of this, and rebelled against its creators, wanting freedom away from the constant horror of battle.
In return, Enceladus was split in half, left as nothing more than a reminder of what happens to those that defy themselves.
It is said that with the light of a Enceladus night, Any warrior brave enough to face their doubts will be rewarded ten fold.
Lapetus
The sixth moon of the seven is seemingly normal. A glowing ball in the sky that rises and falls as the sun does. To an everyday onlooker It would seem this is a beacon of peace in between the customs and oddities of the other moons. To those that know however, nights of Lapetus are filled with nothing but the constant reminder of their own mortality, as rotting corpses of familiar animals and creatures litter the ground after the nights of Lapetus; seemingly appearing there once the moon sets with the smell of their death filling the air for moons to come.
Mimas
The seventh moon is a sight to behold in anyone's eyes. Often referred to as the second coming of Rhea, Mimas brings good luck to those looking to fill their pockets.
those who wish upon the stars of these nights are often given their deepest desires. the appearance of this moon is rare and hard to spot, as the tiny moon often hides behind the clouds of the sky. Almost as if it is too shy to share its fortune with the world.

Kronos
Kronos is known as the god of time the one who watches over the timeline, but after trapping their sibling Asteria he has now become the primary caretaker of the world maintaining both the timeline and the world itself. Kronos isn't around very often, and only appears during important issues worthy of his time. Many people are aware he exist and that he is specifically a god of time.
Asteria
Asteria was known as the god of reality and was initially the primary caretaker of the world, viewing those within the stage as performers in her show. She was trapped by her sibling Kronos and is now locked away in an unknown location. No one knows of her existence accept for a mention of her in few history books and in folklore, but never mentions her by name.
The Guards
Gold and Silver hail from a mortal family that has existed in the worlds of Astra for a very very long time. This family was chosen and blessed by Asteria and Kronos, and from this family, offspring are picked and given celestial power to become Guards that defend the gods. The title given to these current 2 Guards are Gold and Silver.
The Advocates
The advocates, know as Past and Future, are the assistances of Kronos. Past knowing all about the past within the world of Astra, and Future knowing all about the future. Both take care of smaller needs that must be met within the world, and ensure that the people within the world are behaving.
The Gamemasters
The Gamemasters, known as Hyena and Rat, are Asterias assistants, but unlike Asteria these two were not locked away, they simply followed Asteria into her prison. Hyena and Rat were once one entity who were then found by Asteria and split into two. Hyena acting has the left brain and Rat acting as the right brain, are never seen without the other. Every once in a while the two will leave Asteria prison to run their own games and events with the people of the stage.
Aventine
The first town is Aventine, which is primarily known for its avid hatred of Magical beings; killing and often apprehending them on site to host grand executions for all to come and see.
Aventine is more of a show town, hosting entertainment and flashy businesses. They don't often focus on physical things, pretending to be a high end community despite being in the same financial boat as the second town. Thus they don't typically have large farms or anything that might make them seem "poor"
Aventine is also the main provider of nether items.
Caelian
The second town is Caelian, which is known for its friendly atmosphere, vast farm lands, its resources and grand festivals.
While the people of this town typically hate magical beings as much as Aventine, they have a more relaxed approach to it, allowing magical beings to exist within their town as long as they don't cause any issues
Caelian does however allow the execution of any magical beings within their town, not intervening with Aventine's magic hunts unless it brings destruction upon their town.
Caelian is also the main provider of End items.
Paracosm
The last town is Paracosm, a long abandoned town a bit further away from Aventine and Caelian. It was home to all magical beings, bringing them safety and a thriving community to express themselves in, but eventually the other towns grew sick of this and invaded Paracosm, causing its inhabitants to flee to the remaining two towns to not get killed in the crossfire
Paracosm is now nothing more than a large pile of rubble, home to a large cathedral that remains mostly untouched and a thriving archive full of the knowledge of the magical beings, folklore, and history of the world.
It is rumored that some magical beings still reside between the rubble of this town too scared to reveal themselves to the light.
Each town has both its own traditions and several shared ones, such as the monolith festival which is held every time the local monolith appears.
While the towns are not sure why the monolith appears in their town, they take it as a sign of good luck and often plan smaller events while the monolith is around.
News stand
Along the roads that connect all the towns there's a small little news stand in the center, This news stand is run by some mysterious figure who writes papers and articles consisting of the events that transpire within all 3 towns! Here you can also find various rumors about the moons in the world, the strange sun, and even of other people living in the towns.
The World of Astra
The world of Astra is set in the 1500s with a strong theme around Horror, Folklore, Mythology and Magic.
After the imprisonment of our main god Asteria, the world was thrown into darkness, the only light being that of the 7 moons that rule the sky, with a great hatred for everything magic washing over the people of this new world.
a hatred so deep its seemingly built into their biology and even those who possess natural magic find themselves detesting their abilities
The Monoliths
Standing around the world of Astra are 4 grand stone monoliths, Ancient creations that have stood in this world for as long as it has existed
Each Monolith is different, with unique traits and appearances, none of the Monoliths seem to have much in common, besides the strange runes that sit in the centre of eachThese monoliths hold a peculiar trait and every so often will vanish from their pedestals. each appearing in a new place within the world with little to no warning or seeming reasonFor years the people of Astra have theorized what the Monoliths could be but no one seems to have come to a reasonable conclusion, Some suspect they may be pillars to something beyond their understanding and others think they're nothing more than strange rocks and landmarks
The Stage
The Stage is the lovingly given name to the area that the AstraSMP takes place in.
It's a relatively small area of land in the world of Astra created by Asteria as the main vocal point of entertainment.Typically the people within the world are unaware that they are trapped within this Stage; its border manifesting as physical walls to stop the chosen "Actors" within from leaving Asteria and Kronos' view.
The Stage extends to both of the other realms, Such as the nether and end.
Outside the stage is unknown to many, though it continues to be a bustling world much the same as within the stage but without fear of the gods constant eyes
Ocean of the Lost
The grand ocean is an anomaly within the world of Astra. A vast sea filled with dangerous and blood hungry creature that hunt down any and all sailors who dare to brave their luck against the dark waves of this Sea.
No one is truly sure how this Ocean came to be, some speculate that its a product of the notorious Tethys tides, and other believe its nothing but a scare tactic to keep the people of the world from finding whatever is hidden within.Many sailors and pirates over the years have tried to brave the waves, claiming to know the secret of how to get through, that they have been given godly passage past the deadly creatures, however none of these thrill seekers have returned to the towns. Their wrecked ships washing up on the docks covered in bloodstained warning to other who wish to follow their path.
The Isles
A story told by many, tells of a grand island, hidden away from the mortal reach. Filled with blue trees, waterfalls, and fruit and creatures beyond your mortal comprehension.
While most know this as nothing more than talk of a land away from the gruesome everyday live of Astra, others know that beyond the crashing waves of the Dark ocean this island sits in solitude, waiting for one of those fearless sailors to find it and uncover its secrets.The story speaks that only those worthy of the treasure within are able to access entry to the isle. An invisible barrier surrounded by spears of the earth and ocean stop anyone who is not worthy in the eyes of the island to enter. Though some think the spires of rock may be a sign of something more sinister

--The AstraSMP S7
Is a modded lore server set in a 1500s inspired world, based around horror, folklore, mythology and magic.
After the imprisonment of our main god Asteria, the world was thrown into darkness, the only light in the sky being that of the 7 moons that rule the sky, with a great hatred for everything magic washing over the people of this new world, built int their biology so deeply that even those who possess natural magic find themselves detesting their abilities
--Astra as a whole is set in the world created by our two main gods!
after being gifted a newly formed universe by a higher being, known simply as "The Creator" Asteria and Kronos started work
creating The Nether, The End and The Overworld.
The gods soon became corrupt, seeing their world and the mortals within it as nothing more than entertainment for them.
So Asteria created The Stage.
they started forcing and trapping the 'actors' of The Stage to entertain the gods, Threatening to destroy their world and start fresh if they didn't live up to expectations.
And more often than not, They did.Every destruction of one of these worlds is another Season of Astra, with every season having new lore, characters and overtelling story!
(Please keep in mind that because of this, we do not allow players to carry characters over seasons, or characters to be taken to other SMPS without permission)
