Introduction to Ali'fantasea

Ali'fantasea is a distant solar system found in the Maede Sector of our local universe. The System orbits the binary stars, Tyrenollo and Stelunops. Eight planets make up Ali'fantasea; Nuuba, Hedurn, Jaynisa, (TaeAra), Oroen, Andruun, Muriphon, and LiThrair.

Nuuba {new'buh}, the smallest planet, contained life long ago. At present, it exists only as a charred orb of ruins. A single moon, Mlundo {mm'loon'do}, orbits its darkened surface.

Hedurn {hed'urn} is a gas giant with sparse rings whirling around its perimiter, but little else to speak of.

Jaynisa {jay'niss'uh} contains life, as well as a sweet, but subtle, fragrance to the air. Inumii {in'oo'me} is this world's moon, which has a small system of rings beyond its cold surface.

TaeAra {tay'aar'uh} contained life, and still may harbor remnants of its ancient and powerful civilizations, but has tragically become separated from its home in Ali'fantasea. Currently its whereabouts are unknown, but is sought after by many space explorers and treasure hunters. Yet none search as diligently for it as Lord Ae'zyen of the Arsentrian Empire (whose immortality began millenia ago on the surface of TaeAra when it was still young).
TaeAra has two moons; Ceiphra {see'fruh} (which has rings), and Pirveos {peer'vee'os}.

Oroen {or'oh'en} is the largest of the Ali'fantasean worlds. It has a few dusty rings, as well as five moons; Midisee {mid'ih'see} (with horizontal rings), Cygvon {sig'von}, Pegosee {peg'oh'see} (with vertical rings), Hericule {hare'ih'kool}, and Ursva {oor'ss'vuh} (which now sustains life).
Oroen has contained, and still contains several large civilizations. It was TaeAra's rival for many centuries until TaeAra's catacalysm. It remains a very influencial world within the Arsentrian "universe".

Andruun {ann'droon} was the last planet to receive life. The original civilizations remain still. There is an extensive ring system that spins around this planet, and there are three moons orbiting; Airikibo {air’ih’kee’bo}, Aysvee (has rings) {ay’ss’vee}, and Ammeric {am'er'ik} (can sustain life).

Muriphon {mur'ih'fon} is another gas giant with 45degree rings. It has two moons; Oreza {or’eh’zuh}, Oserom {oss’er’om}

LiThrair {lih'th'rare} is the Ali'fantasea's last planet. Though it is so far out, it still maintains numerous civilizations. 4 moons inhabit the space around this beautiful world; 4 moons – Surliina {ser’leen’uh} (has life now, and rings), MaGallo {mah’gal’oh} (has rings), Thripheer {th’ri’feer} (very hot - provides the heat for the planet), and Suruntine {sur’oon’tine} (can sustain life).

I like this introduction. It caught my attention and sparked my imagination. I am excited to read what comes next. Just a side note, the text was a little hard to read in some places, otherwise I love the art work.
