Ferrins was similarly clueless in the matter of the nature of Sannico.

Ferrins’ world, commonly called Chron by its inhabitants, at least by the ones who bothered to call it anything at all, had exactly two continents, Chronos and Chronita. While slightly smaller than Earth, being only twenty-four thousand miles in circumference, it had roughly the same gravity. This was due to a higher core density, of course.

One might opine that the naming conventions of the Chronians was without imagination, and that was indeed the case. Chronos was a large land mass that occupied the northern hemisphere and was roughly circular, beginning at roughly thirty-eight degrees of latitude, varying a bit as one circumnavigated. Its most northern shore was at forty-seven degrees, and its most southern at thirty-five degrees.

Chronos’ most prominant feature was the polar lake, which was a massive and nearly circular fresh water lake some one thousand miles across. Oddly, the lake was not the repository of inflowing rivers, but the source of them. It was formed by the local polar vortex, which was quite stable, there being no axial tilt to speak of and a nearly circular orbit.

The appearance of Chron led the discoverers of it, in their decrepit and crumbling ship, Total Diaspora, to remark that it looked like two Cheerios. After a few generations of being dirtside and the disappearance of most technology, the common appellation, Cheerios Land, became Chron, and the two major land masses Chronos and Chronita. So we cannot be too hard on the Chronians. They came by it in an honest fashion.
