The planet is orbited by a system of rings with several divisions. These rings play an important role in reflecting sunlight at the night side of the planet, keeping it from complete darkness and helping plants to grow from reflected light and Investiture.{{book ref|tsm|2}}{{book ref|tsm|3}}{{book ref|tsm|5}} These rings have an unknown orbital inclination, as they are not centered at the equatorial region of Canticle and have a notable angle relative to the equatorial plane.{{book ref|tsm|28}}
Canticle has a retrograde spin; thus, the sun rises in the west and sets in the east.{{book ref|tsm|7}} Its radial velocity is notably slow, at around 28.1 meters per second (62.9 miles per hour),
The geography of the planet constantly changes due to the stone melting from the intense heat produced in the atmosphere; this combined with the effect of the planet's Invested core causes eruptions of magma that drastically reshape the landscape.{{book ref|tsm|12}}{{book ref|tsm|34}}{{book ref|tsm|45}} The atmosphere is unnaturally resistant to the flow of Investiture, causing it to produce these large amounts of heat via [[wikipedia:Joule heating|joule heating]].{{book ref|tsm|45}} Due to the ever-changing geography, erosion doesn't have time to take place.{{book ref|tsm|12}}
The planet has a low scale height, thus the thickness of the atmosphere thins rapidly with increasing altitude, with the end of the inner atmosphere being set at around one-thousand feet (304.8 meters) from the surface.{{book ref|tsm|19}}{{book ref|tsm|28}} Due to this, mountains reach into outer space, and are impassible to the planet's inhabitants.
The Scadrians have a couple of drones or satellites in orbit, giving them access to cameras to view the planet from above ground.{{book ref|tsm|45}}
Gazelle-like creatures live near dawn; they are Invested in some way. Their lifecycle and how they survive the daytime heat are currently unknown.{{book ref|tsm|17}}
The Canticle subastral of the [[Cognitive Realm]] is probably violent and filled with shaking and tremors.{{wob ref|16319}}
=== Religion ===
All people on Canticle believe in [[Adonalsium]] as a deity.{{book ref|tsm|11}} They know that Adonalsium is dead and splintered into Shards.{{book ref|tsm|47}} Nonetheless they believe that everything that happens is his plan.
They
They seem to fear the sun, but also have great respect for it, calling it
=== Language ===
The people on Canticle speak a language
They also speak in a distinct and recognizable manner that seeks to avoid offence or disrespect, an example of this is 'if it pleases you to be disagreed with' instead of simply 'I disagree'.{{book ref|tsm|8}}
People in the far northern corridors speak with an accent that purportedly makes
Names, like back on [[Threnody]], are often related to an emotion, virtue, or even a concept, some examples are: Zeal, Confidence, Divinity.{{book ref|tsm|7}}
=== Clothing ===
Present day, most cities of significant sizes have been incorporated into [[Union]] although a number of small towns remain. There are as much as fifty cities on the planet.{{book ref|tsm|15}}
Beaconites in particular prefer lights that
=== Food ===
The people from Canticle grow crops in the area just in front of dawn, where a small portion of light is reflected to the ground by giant rings around the planet. This technique allows them to harvest every day, requiring only seeds and water.{{book ref|tsm|3}}
They also hunt animals; but their food appears to be rather bland and lacking in spice.{{cite}}
