Weleu is a planet orbiting a single red giant star. It is of average size and has a few pools of magical substance scattered across it's surface. Made largely (70%) of water, Weleu has slightly less gravity than most planets of its size.

Geography

Continents

Yr Adar

Yr Adar is the home continent for the Eisites and consists of a mountain range, forest, desert, and savanna as well as sulfur-like pools. If approaching from the eastern coast one will come across the sulfur pools first, then a valley carved by a river, then the forest, and finally the mountain range and savanna. To the north would be the desert, and the origins of the river in the form of an oasis. ^{(How large is this oasis, if it can sustain a river? Most rivers flow from the ocean or waterfalls, or large lakes.)}

Niranahein

Niranahein is the home continent of the planet's humans.

Regions

There is a very large variety of regions due to Weleu's temperate climate. The desert on Yr Adar is further north than most deserts, but is extremely dry despite the cold. ^{(Note: Deserts are simply marked by precipitation, not temperature or location. This sentence could be rephrased.)}

Major Landmarks

On the continent Yr Adar there is a mountain range which marks a formidable separation between the savanna and forest regions.

The river O'Dywod formed the valley of the same name between the pools of sulfur and the forest.

Scattered throughout the surface of the continent Yr Adar are magical dead zones, one at the center of the sulfur pools. ^{(What is the significance of this?)}

Ecology

Races

Eisite

Eisites are the general term for the magical birds of the continent Yr Adar. ^{(Are they an actual species [if so, say that and keep it simple] or just a classification of creature like we group all lizards or all fish together?)} They are generally about six times the size of Terran birds.

Humans

Humans live on the continent of Niranahein.

Native Species

The humans and Eisites consider each other as humans view lesser creatures (such as apes on Terra), rather than intelligent animals.

Culture

Eisites

^{(Moving things around for better flow.)} Eisites have mercantile hubs to purchase and sell goods as well as several hunting parties.

Language

Eisites speak a language resembling Welsh. ^{(Earth only exists in the Manaverse in the form of Terra, and I'm not sure that Terra has Wales. Leaving it for now, but keep references to real-world Earth to a minimum.)}

Magic

Eisites have developed a source of magic the planet filters into categories based on color. They grow trees large enough to live in and will occasionally weave together reeds to form homes.

Technology

Eisites have not advanced much further technologically than carving objects into simple weapons.

Theology

The Eisite pantheon includes several gods, one for each family of animals- an Eisite god, a canine god, a human god and so forth.

Politics

The Eisites still possess kings and nobility simply due to the fact of a society of varying dietary needs. ^{(Logic leap. What do these two facts have to do with each other?)} The nobles are most commonly carnivorous with the royal family consisting predominately of owls, merchants are largely omnivorous, made mostly of corvids, and the lower classes are all herbivorous, such as robins and finches.

Calender

The Eisites view the planet's rotation in a year made up of ten months.

Humans

Language

The human language resembles a dialect of Irish English. ^{(See Eisite language for my notes on this. I'm guilty of this as well, though.)}

Technology

The humans are on the brink of discovering gunpowder. They build their cities of wood, stone, and straw, with a mastery in the crafts of iron as well as in the arts. ^{(How so?)}

Theology

The humans believe that there are two gods, one that is good and one that is evil.

Politics

While the human society also includes a monarchy, their upper class is generally smaller than that of the Eisites.

Inhabitants

Notable Characters

History

The 200-Year War

This war involved the humans discovering the continent Yr Adar and beginning to attack the Eisites' tree homes for resources.
