I have done some research on this matter, and the problem with the "Sun" is even worse than noted by Placio.
I mapped the New Lands using my distance sense to markers that I had set and careful observations and plotting and produced a True Map of Atys http://forums.ryzom.com/showthread.php?t=34855 and published it under my father's name on the bulletin boards, but as the paper notes, I was able to estimate the distance from the New Lands to the "Sun." It is only 150 to 250 km away.
In addition, the nebula is closer to Atys than the sun is!
It is my feeling that the "Sun" must be an artificial construct, held fixed in the sky by some magic, whether made by Jena and the Karavan or placed as an evident miracle by Ma-Duk and the Kami I will not express an opinion. However, since it is so close, and the planet as we know is round and made of plants, there must be more "Suns" placed around the planet to illuminate and support the life that is Atys.
