adter getting my job at rolling thunder, istarted thinking about my next planet to create: and being that this area iwork in contains a southwestern feel, ifelt the need to create a hot, dry desert planet.

as of currently, this planet has no name, but is divided into three very similar yet very different land masses: the soft soil land, equivalent to a savannah and located on the bottom area. and given the fact that its had enough impact on the cultures who reside on this planet enough sources and energy to sustain both societies, it is so sacred, that only hunters and farmers may gather to this area to find food. the soft sand land, whose society is as of currently, remains unknown. all we know so far is based off of egyptian and middle eastern cltures of our world. and the hard sand land, named gadohi. this specific post will be about godohi.

now godohi is three major tribes into one unified government. these tribes are the ama tribe, the unole tribe and the gata tribe.

the gata tribe is the most furthest away from the river, and is known for thier major uses of fire and creating delicious meat. this area is escpecially known for training and/or raising dragons as pets. this tribe is also the most war-ready, as they are surprisingly, the only tribe with a war god. this tribe is also where deki, a para-polegic chihuahua who helps out in the great civil war in vassar is from.

the next area is the unole. thier climate is surprisingly cooler then any other region in the country, but this is due to the fact that where they love is very mountainous and at the top of this moutainous tribe, there is to beilived what is called a star path which, if crossed when you die, will send you to paradise and watch over others from possibly anywhere. this path is also guarded by a pheonix-like bird, said to be strong enough to create drastic winds. this tribe is also known for creating eco-friendly tools and is the most technologically advanced out of all three tribes.

ama is the last tribe of this country, and is the most important, as it’s the only one with any remote access to water when the rains havent come.it is also the only tribe that has any sort of plantlife. also the only tribe that worships a plant goddess who watches over the river.

ok, ive been working on this for at least a week now and ithink ican safely say that marze’ is about 70% done. ill add in another post when ihave the ocean-dwellers finished, but the islands on marze’ are pretty much complete ^^.

there are 9 islands on marze’. each island is incedibly tiny, but each one has its own distinct qualities. but be warned; while marze’ is an incredibly venturous area, it is also very dangerous, so if you visit, be sure to be safe.

1. hook’s cove/hook’s port:

this island is the only island where an entire land is dedicated to pirates. this island was once home to a thousand lizard-snakes, with a mean scarred one as the island’s god. though because of poaching, hunting and land development on marze’, anyone who dares to enter hook’s cove will be swalloed up whole by who knows what. also the bay where the cove surrounds is also a perfect place for ship-dueling.

2.smokey island:

the only island with a volcano on it, let alone a consistently active one. not much is known about this island due to the fact that its almost always covered in ash, even the atmorsphere. the only other known information on it is that there is a volcano hidden somwhere on the island and anyone who has had a watery grave somehow ends up at this island.

3. muk island

more swapmier then any other island, this one has a mysterious purple soil which, when touched, can give any human a minor but really inconvinient rash, hence why no one dares to trend there. thought legend and folklore sez that an alligator goddes is hidden deep in the murky waters and if one dares to venture deep enough must face her and, if successful, will turn into a anthropomorphic alligator princess.

4.halo island

heading up north of muk island is the supposed sancitiy of the deceased good-willed. legends have it that when you die, if you have been good, you have an option to either live there and be in eternal paridise, regardless of which planet you have been on, or become an angel and help the living. this island is also protected by an invisible veil that takes ships around it without anyone on board knowing.

5.white island

heading west is the only island thats a glacier. this island has a dramatic tempurature drop within a 30 mile radius where, because of evaporation, it always snows. though depending on the goddess atmos’ mood, either trinkle lightly down, or be a horrid blizzard.

6.& 7. twin islands: east & west

there is a possibility that long ago, these islands were once one major island, but due to major flooding cause a river to cut inbetween the two when it was still forming. also contains the ikewia (ee-ka-wea) tribe on east island and sunkawiea (soon-ka-wea) on the other. both tribes have had an unknown dispute for centuries and it seems that no one can remember why anymore.

8. dollar island

if you’re brave enough to venture thru new serpentine with only one ship, expect to be eaten by the thousands of sea serpents who surrond the entire island. though if you do happen to miraculously pass through unharmed, legend has it you’re rewarded with an infinite amount of gold and mistrisses that will cater to you every desire.

9. luthor island

not much to know about this island. it was discoverd by king luthor and bought it for himself as a resort. centuries later, the island is home to a delicious fruit called the wilodora fruit, where its harvested and shipped to many places across the universe. and if you’re lucky, you may even find meshi, the pheonix god that watches over the fruit.

10. Agnu island

the largest island on the planet, and the only one where you’re allowed to sleep at. named after the main god residing there, agnucoyotl, the wolf-serpent god. plus you are also free to explore the many wonders and mysteries of the island. the greatest and only tourist attraction found to date so far.
