Tessera is the planet on which the campaign takes place. Tessera is not Earth, but it's comparable to Earth in size, axial tilt, hours in a day, days in a year, climate, and proportion of landmass to oceans.

Tessera orbits a binary of two stars: a larger yellow dwarf called the [[Sovereign]] and a smaller red dwarf called the Tinker. The Sovereign and Tinker's rotation around their common barycenter is about 28 days.

Tessera has one moon called the [[Traveler]] with an orbit of 28-49 days. The Traveler has tidal effects on Tessera comparable to Luna's effects on Earth. Various conjunctions of the Sovereign, Tinker, and Traveler have significant effects on the physical and magical dimensions of Tessera.
