Description
The Sun

The Sun of Aerrhea is a bright icosahedron that sits in the center of the world and is some thousands of miles away of the surface of the cylinder, the sun extinguishes itself every day and then is "reborn" again, forming the day and night cycle. The process of extinction starts at 17:30 Pm and ends at 18:00 pm when the night begins, thus dusk lasts for half an hour. The rebirth starts at 04:00 Am and ends at 05:00 Am when the day truly begins, thus dawn lasts for one hour. These processes happen by the gradual reduction of both size, faces and luminosity of the sun, the opposite is true for the process of rebirth.

The sun has 5 phases during its rebirth: it starts as a tetrahedron, it then gains two more faces, becoming a cube, then it gains two more again to become a octahedron.In its penultimate stage it gains four more faces becoming a dodecahedron and in its most luminous, large and final stage it gains eight more faces, becoming a twenty-faced icosahedron. During the extinction it passes trhough the same process, but instead of gaining faces it loses them.
