An Overview of Demrefor
*This page (and all sub-pages) are currently being edited/rewritten after my hiatus. Things might be messy at the moment and may change in future.
Three Moons
Demrefor quite literally means “Planet Three Moons”. It is a contraction written in the ancient nurlak language, and though nobody has been able to fully translate the ancient language the meaning of the planet’s name is widely understood.
Because of this, “demre” has become common in some countries as a way to refer to the three moons and has its own connotations when compared to using other terms for the sky. When the sky is referred to as the demre, most will assume a cloudless night with all three moons clearly visible.
The three moons are the pink moon (smallest), the silver moon, and the blue moon (biggest).
Gravity and Oxygen
The gravity of Demrefor is quite low for the surface area. The planet’s density is very low due to the cave systems that have hollowed it out and this, mixed with the thick, clean oxygen, has given many larger animals the ability of flight.
The low gravity also allows for bipedal races to grow rather tall, and it is not uncommon to have people able to leap the length of their body with ease.
Because of the oxygen levels large animals are in abundance. Insects can grow to enormous sizes if their lifespan allows.
Cave Systems
The cave systems that run through Demrefor do a lot more than just lower the gravity; they provide homes for many species of animals and have their own sustainable ecosystems.
Many of the caves are full of water collected from rain or diverted from rivers. This abundance of clean, fresh, and often flowing water allows these ecosystems to flourish.
Sometimes, though rarely, inland caves will connect to the ocean and you can find salt water and sea creatures in the middle of continents.
As Demrefor is full of caves, gems and stones are in abundance and are not considered expensive or rare unless they have magical properties.
