Eclipse

From The CBG Wiki

Sun--Moon--Man--God--Apostasies--Apotheosis

Eclipse, the world of the Skyfall Archipelago. Two empires dominate the Skyfall Archipelago: the Lunar Empire and the Solar Empire. Each claims descent from a god. For centuries these two groups engaged in a series of wars against each other. Their best hope for peace has come from the marriage of the Lunar princess, Ila, to the Solar Emperor, Kakudmi. This alliance remains nebulous.

Terrain and Climate of the Skyfalls

As the Skyfalls are a tropical archipelago, the temperature remains hot and humid year round. Hurricanes are an annual problem. Because many of the islands are volcanic mountains, occasional eruptions have caused troubles over the years. Rainforests cover most of the islands.

Flora and Fauna of the Skyfalls

The Skyfalls are home to many animals including anoas, sun bears, elephants, many species of monkeys, orangutans, clawed otters, birds of paradise, dholes, komodo dragons, dingisos, flying squirrels, mountain weasels, rhinos, rabbits, tigers, and tapirs. The seas around the isles house mantas, whales (blue, humpback, and sperm), dugongs, and a variety of tropical fish and sharks.

Tropical plants cover the isles, especially in the varied rainforests. Bamboo, rattan, sandalwood, and ebony trees make up these forests. The forests even house some carnivorous plants.
