Getting Trilorne to Hover
Jun. 11th, 2020 04:53 pmWell okay, I guess there is a way to get Trilorne to hover.
If we're willing to toss the usual definition of "North" (rotation axis points that way), we can put the sun over the equator, and then we can have it be tide-locked. Meaning this planet is basically Mercury but farther away so that only the stuff directly underneath the sun is getting fried to shit.
And maybe having an actual atmosphere will help, too, in various ways, though I can't imagine there not being freaky weather patterns, e.g., some kind of permanent cyclone storm around the solar-maximum point wherever it happens to be at the moment, but that won't damage the story too much because nobody ever goes to the Fire Lands anyway.
The Wall then runs around ( surprise )
