Incidentally, if you're interested, the Birthright designers were making
some noises at GenCon this year about doing something with astrology and
Cerilia. It seems that astrology may have important effects in the plane,
because it seems that the patterns of stars and conjunctions of planets
may have something to do with how "close" the Shadow World is the the
plane of Aebrynnis. Thus a good court astrologer may help you to predict
where and when the next plague of undead are going to attack your realm.
If they do decide to go with this idea, expect the info in the Shadow
World supplement when it comes out sometime in the next couple of years.

(snipped a whole lot of interesting questions.)

Jeremy these are some tings I have bee curious about too but I don't have
any definitive answers except for the first one.

Aebrynnis is mentioned as the world on which Cerilia is a continent in the
Planescape book On Hallowed Ground in the section on the Cerilian pantheon
so despite Bearcat's ealier comment about Aebrynnis being the plane that
Cerilia is on, Aebrynnis is the name of the planet. It is also named on
page 3 of the Ruins of Empire book.

Sorry to be of no help with the other questions, but my specialties are
sociology and psychology, not astronomy, so maybe someone else will help
with the rest.

The section of ON HALLOWED GROUND that refers to the Cerilian pantheon
deals only with the Cerilian pantheon, not any other deities of Aebrynnis.
What gods may be linked to the peoples of Aduria, Thaele, or the other
continents of the world has not been revealed yet.
