Locations
Geography
Originally a hollow (well, honeycombed and material-rich) planetoid.
Ephemera is about 1/3 its estimated original mass. The remaining 2/3 of the planet, including its entire core, have been destroyed. As a result, Ephemera is shaped roughly like an apple core. It is surrounded by a vast astroid belt, consisting of Ephemera's lost mass. It is closely orbited by several artificial satellites, with irregular programmed courses.
Ecosystem
Subterranean ecosystem supports a vibrant ecosystem of phosphorescent mushrooms, semi-aware gems, Bioluminescent flora, gruekin, luminescent fungi.
Surface is continually ravaged by toxic magic clouds. Infernals thrive here because of evolved immunities, but most materials must be negotiated through interdimensional trade.
Ecosystem Cycles
None.
Localized Phenomena
Luminous subterranean auroras, whispers of eldritch magic, shifting cavern layouts, and enigmatic echoes. Magical occurrences reflect the realm's connection to the mystical.
Climate
None.
Fauna & Flora
Bioluminescent creatures, subterranean flora, and enigmatic beings adapted to the realm's hollow landscape.
Natural Resources
Enchanted crystals, luminous gems, and magical minerals found within the caverns. Highly sought-after magical resources for arcane crafts and rituals.
History
Centuries of climate neglect, a series of terrible magic resource wars, and a series of subsequent natural, disasters - both above and below ground - have prounsly affected the planet and its inhabitants.
