Oderon's Rings
Oderon's Rings were fragments of a moon that is believed to have orbited Artica in the time of the Antiga Pyre. The cause of their formation remained highly speculative, but some pyreans believed that they were the result of a failed anti-matter experiment conducted by antigan scientists, which annihilated part of the moon and shattered the rest.
During the Age of Obscurity, many lunoids fell on the planet, scarring its surface with countless impact craters and geophysical anomalies, and many still fell during the Age of Illumination, rendering life on Artica exceptionally difficult. None except Gadim knew how the chaotic system evolved into stable planetary rings, since this is a process that takes millions of years, and many of the Nova Pyre believed that their orbits would eventually decay and their impact ultimately extinguish all life on Artica.
Their name was given in tribute to Oderon Sagius, the first pyrean to demonstrate the stability of the planetary ring system by estimating a solution to their n-body problem. He related the apparent stability to an inexplicable force acting on the rings. The origin of this force, however, forever remained elusive to him. Oderon's Rings generated the Great Storm of Artica. This was due to the presence of monopolar matter in the lunoids which was released from the moon's core when it was destroyed.More information regarding the Great Storm will be presented in Planetology indoctrinations.
