There are lots of info there:

I suppose it's the Buseri terminology. I suppose it depends on what you call it in your mythology and what powers you associate with it. Is it the Blood Planet, the Red Sun, the Crimson Star?

There is a physical difference, but certainly not the same whether you're a Dara Happan, a Zzaburite or a Doraddi. All those bodies and their apparent behaviours exist in their own right, but people have different stories that explain them, and different othersides when they worship them. It's really puzzling.
