Iphars

In most part, Iphars' a very Earth-like planet. It has tectonic plates, continents, a diverse geography and other similar things. Its a life with a lot of life which is different from Earth's life. The weirdness to Iphars mainly comes in two ways: lava lakes, and post dawn of magic changes.

Unlike in our real world, lava in Iphars works slightly different. It is more liquid than ours allowing aquatic-like creatures and plants to live in it, albeit its not translucent, so no possibility of photosynthesis and animals have little use to eyes and other photo-detecting organs. The closer to the surface the lava is, the denser and more solid it becomes; the further from the surface, the more liquid-like.

After the dawn of magic, the world started changing to something more fantasy-like. Floating islands started either rising from the earth or appearing out of thin air, and magic started existing and changing the world and its inhabitants.

Magic in Iphars is somewhat alive. It changes things to what it desires, whatever that might be, and acts like a rebelious teenager. This isn't very seen in Iphars actually, but was big part of Ashtara and was considered a god, even if, unlike other Ashtarian gods, hasn't appeared with an appareance in any way. While it is quite chaotic in Iphars, changing the world as it pleases, it's working hard on Ashtara to keep the remnants of the world and the leftover inhabitants alive. Ashtarians consider Iphars' magic to be a different "god" than theirs, as their ways of using magic have become useless in Iphars.
