World
Continents
- Airawa Home Continent: birthplace of the Airawa species, the mother-tree networks, and the Airawa Empire.
- Sa’ueia Continent: Airawa-free continent where Sa’auei’a nomadic civilization evolved around mobile reciprocity and sacred breeding grounds.
Planet and Simulation
- Zyphos Umbros Binary System: working baseline for the orbits and skies of Zyphos and Umbros, their dim primary star, and the effects of daily eclipses.
- Zyphos Simulation Brief: cross-repo design brief for the Aquarium Engine demo that will visualize this world at planetary scale.
Design Notes
The two continents should support different ways of living. On the Airawa home continent, societies depend on memory stored through mother-tree networks. Those same connections allow imperial control to spread by altering memory and doctrine.
On the Sa’ueia continent, civilization moves. Ecological partners remember generosity, and that history shapes what travelers can rely on when they return. Sacred breeding grounds are shared places for reproduction within this mobile society. Turning them into permanent capitals would break the social arrangement they sustain.
