Cyantia

Mass: 5.65 *10^25 kg (apparent) Radius: 1.91 * 10^7 m gravity: 10.3 m/(s^2) density : 5.92 * 10^3 kg/(m^3) orbital distance (average): 1.50 * 10^11 m

(Cyantia's mass is actually much higher than this, the low apparent mass is caused by a metal that makes up much of Cyantia's core. This metal, under certain conditions, acts to negate gravity, offsetting much of Cyantia's Mass.

The planet of Cyantia is three times the size of Earth and has a relatively young sun just like Earth. The time for a rotation is approximately 32 hours and the planet is a similar distance from their sun. (This results in a year roughly equal to our own. It has two Moons. One of the moons has a diameter approximately five times that of earth's moon. The other is a tenth of the size of our moon and orbits the first moon. The main moon is Avistary and is mostly tropical with an even atmosphere completely around the surface. It never rains and there are not any oceans on the moon. The atmosphere is made up mostly of a thin layer of mist. It completely revolves around Cyantia in the opposite direction in one day, rotating in such a way that Cyantia is never blocking the sun completely from reaching it. The second moon is 'dead' without an atmosphere.


There are five continents on Cyantia; three make up Rillora, one is located on the opposite side of the world and is called Aciace, and the fifth is located at the southern pole.


Alpine territory

The northernmost reaches of Cyantia are compromised mainly of islands and large bodies of frozen lakes for most of the year. During the winter it is the harshest area of the planet and seemingly the least welcoming for anyone to live. Despite this there are many Cyantians who call this region home, namely a scattering of thick furred felines, Lynx's, Snow Leopards and the occasional bobcat. Panda type bears, polar and grizzly bears, otter-like creatures and a variety of Cyantians usually found further south are also not unheard of.

Cities are usually located within natural columnlike stone formations that rise either above the water line or land. These offer a safe haven from being buried beneath the heavy winter snows and later the rising lakes from the spring thaws.

Transportation between cities and other parts of Cyantia is undertaken by several fashions, the standard space shuttles, transports, lifts, etc serve for long range travel, while the natives of this icy land often make use of the heavily furred northern Shivae or the Snow Gryphons.

Plantlife in this frozen area is actually quite different than what might be expected. Frost grass, Ice fruit and various other cold weather plants flourish in the climate when the temperatures are at their lowest so that their seasons are a reverse of the southern continents. Frost grass is actually a bamboo like material with an edible inside. Large forests of it grow within the lakes, their shoots usually rising ten to fifteen feet off the water's surface. Ice fruit grows on the surfaces of the lake along with various other edible plants. Fish, seal and other land creatures are a main staple of the northern diet.

The majority of the inhabitants of the Alpine regions are not affiliated with any of the governments or civilizations they came from, but live here to escape the constant intrusion of mechanics and engineering. They choose to lead a simplified life, not inconvenienced by the complete hold of civilization. In short, those who choose the north as home want to live as their nature dictates over that of laws. They do as they please within reason and have a republic form of government in which they elect a president every six years.

To keep the peace, they can thank the Northern Guard, a group of enforcers established by the presidency upon the conception of the Alpine. Currently, it has gone corrupt and another militia group has sprung up referred to as the Tundra Guard, made up mostly of Snow Leopards and Otters who disagree with how things are running. Things are slowly dividing in the Northern regions with no end in sight for some time and hostilities rising as cities choose to side with the Tundra Guard or the Northern Guard through ... persuasion.

What would have anyone really interested in rule over this land? Large deposits of gems and priceless elements located beneath the lakes of the northern land. Anyone who owns even a small portion of the land could destroy it and sell the minerals beneath to be set for life, but in doing so, the land would suffer and the creatures who live in it. While some of the inhabitants would be fine with this, the majority call this place home and wouldn't think of selling it out for mere money.
