	==Cosmology==		==Cosmology==
	The world of [[Avlis]] uses the cosmology set forth in Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Second Edition for determining the nature of planets, stars, and space. According to this model, each star and all of its orbiting objects are enclosed by a Crystal Sphere many times the diameter of the star. The distance from the star to the furthest orbiting object is usually the same as the distance from the furthest orbiting object to the wall of the Crystal Sphere. The objects in the night sky that groundlings call stars are in fact holes in the Crystal Sphere which permit a properly-equipped space-faring ship to exit through them. "Spelljamming" is the term used to describe magical flight through space and beyond. An alternative term that does not violate copyright rules for Wizards of The Coast is "Starjamming".

			===Asteroids===
			Asteroids in Daggerspace range in size from small rocks no larger than a human to large ones approaching half the size of a moon. These floating bodies have a way of attracting inhabitants from around the system who wish to separate themselves from petty planetary politics to concentrate on larger goals or to simply be alone. There are numerous examples of asteroids in Daggerspace, and some of the known ones are described here:

			====Jeminix====
			This asteroid was described in [[Avlis_Campaign_6#Scene_4:_Asteroid_Raid \| Avlis Campaign 6]] as a base for an evil necromancer, Jeminix, who named the asteroid after himself. Before his operation was destroyed by a group of adventurers, Jeminix had set up a factory creating mutated zombies which could spread their sickness to living creatures. The sickness was an altered plague that used energy from the Negative Energy Plane to augment it.

	Some scholars attest that near the center of Etaraphel is a permanent large portal to [[The Abyss]], which was created and stabilized by a lieutenant of the [[Negarai Prime]] soon after he discovered Daggerspace and Etaraphel. This portal serves as a massive conduit between Daggerspace and that plane, by way of the Deep Ethereal. Additionally, within the clouds of this gas giant are numerous pocket planes or demi-planes of the Ethereal. Some of them are paradise havens created by powerful entities as a means to escape something. Others are notorious prisons created by deities to punish and contain their enemies. Travelers passing close by these misty realms need to take care that they do not get snagged by one of the tendrils emanating from these realms.
