Cardinal points
Maps on Dracca has four main cardinal points, and four secondary ones called. The main ones are matching Dracca's rotation (Boreas→Suttas axis is aligned to the planet's spinning axis), while secondary ones are following Vherris's path in the sky.

Main points
Boreas, Orior, Suttas and Ponor (clockwise) are the main cardinal points. The planet's rotating axis is along the Boreas-Suttas direction.
Secondary points
Creumbra, Leviar, Diminiar and Matumbra are the secondary ones. So, instead of talking about "Boreas-Orior", one should say "Creumbra". A direction can be even more precise, by mixing a main and a secondary cardinal point, like "Boreas-Orior".
