Exodii Solar System

What once was....


Secak .. that once flat endless plane of existence, it was a massive and extremely diverse land. Lush forests, rolling grassland, and huge mountain ranges were the most frequent natural features on Secak. Few swamps, oceans, plateaus and hills were known and even less known were rivers, lakes, deserts, barrens, and jungles.

There were not many seasonal changes on Secak so the climate changed little throughout the year. There were no stars, no sun above the land as only the magical forces gave light to this world and a fascimile to normal day and night.

It was a magical world created by the collision of several planar bodies causing an explosion in space and time.. a flux of sorts. A huge amount of chaotic magic was the result. Some things developed naturally while others had a helping hand. It had long been a home to many planar beings, some who would capture other creatures and transport them to Secak for magical experiments.

All sorts of strange beasts were created upon Secak. Some were intelligent and banded together, forming tribes and what would later become a wealth of power upon Secak. House WoodShadow was the driving force upon Secak.

All that changed after a long time. The ascention of a Godess, the rise and fall of power... Nature was a force that would eventually take back control from the magical flux and change the face of Secak forever, reverting it back to more of what it was before. Or so the theory went...

The land was ripped apart. Planets and stars were formed. It was a brand new Universe, except that Nature wasn't done just yet. It was either that or something unnatural was still struggling against the flow of power.

Something happened and all of the Universe vanished, or so it seemed. Sha'uri T. WoodShadow Arrowny was flung from that place. It took her several years to make it back into RhyDin area, and another year before she discovered one single solar system that had once been a part of the Secakian universe.

House WoodShadow no longer remains. It's people are all but gone, the Castle has disappeared from the Planet of Exodii. Only a few of the lands that surrounded them are left in place. These are what were known as the *Known Lands*, residing on what is now called Exodii Planet.

This is all that remains of Secak.......

The Exodii Solar System consists of at least 11 planets circling around a huge sun (about 1 1/2 times as big as Earth's sun - Mundane reference). Most of the planets are unknamed as of yet.

The Planets are in order from the sun as follows:

1. *Un Named* - A small uninhabitable planet. The smallest planet circling closest to the sun. It is hot with extreme volcanic flow caused by the heat of the sun. There is no atmosphere except the extremely poisonous gases churning from the volcanic activity. Eventually though, this world will become dry and overbaked by the sun... a total dead world. It is even speculated that some day it will go crashing into the sun....


2. *Un Named* - Another dead world, twice as big as the first in this system. But like the first one, it is hot most of the time with temperatures plummetting to the extreme freezing mark on its dark side, just beyond the limitations to allow most life to survive, with very little next to no atmosphere left. As with the first one, it too will become an overbaked dead world, though its soil is rich in metalic and other similar elemental content and could some day be used for mining ore and other such elements. If anyone can figure out how to withstand such heat and extreme cold.


3. Tar'Kerran - The size of this third planet (about the size of Earth) is slightly larger then the first two with one single moon circling it. It is hot and dry most of the time. While temperatures range between a high of 205 F to a low -170 F giving it an average cue of a blistering 180 F. It does hold a system with much potential for supporting life with the right terra forming measures. But not at the moment.

It contains a magma core, much volcanic activities upon its surface, and the appearance of some kind of microscopic plant life or algea upon it's surface giving it a strange look from a distance of green during its daylight and red during its night. No one has really gone down there to find out why.

It does have a very thin atmosphere, but nothing that could support life as we know it, mostly due to volcanic gases. Polar caps at both its north and south cover only about 5% of its total surface. Water is the key element lacking on this world. Still, the planet is a good candidate for later terra forming.

It's moon - Luon - is about the size of the first planet, slightly smaller with no hope of terra forming its dead, dusty and lifeless surface.


4. Exodii - Home to many of the previously known Secakian lands. Exodii florishes with life. Woodshadow Lands, Exodii City, Free Cities of Magril and Zyphon, and a portion of the Nomadian and Outlands were retained here as well as an assortment of populated and formly unknown lands and cities that have yet to be discovered. The size of the planet is about 1 1/2 times the size of Tar'Kerran. Its temperatures range from as high as 130 F (in some spots) in the peak of summer to a -75 (again in some spots) during its coldest drop of winter. Winters are harsh due to the planet's eliptical orbit around the sun. It's harshest months, where the temperatures drop below - 20, only last about a month. But Spring, Summer and Autumn more then make up for it to give the overall average temperature a cue of about 60 F, allowing moderate temperatures to reign over most of its surface for 75% of its year.

((Note: Image was too big as one, so this is Two seperate ones, East and West sides.))


Exodii has 2 moons, Marta and Tol.

Marta fully supports life as well as Exodii, yet there are no intelligent life forms on this moon yet. It has shorter days, about a 2 to 1 ratio comparatively to Exodii.

Tol is a completely dead object that has no spin in its axis around Exodii planet, no ability or hope to support life. It's shape, however, is not the normal circular look, but instead looks more like a cube or strange cut diamond floating around the Exodiian planet.

5. Darda - This planet is another prime candidate for later terraforming and even supports a moderate amount of microscopic and plant life with a thin atmosphere just below breathable zones for most life forms. The average all around temperature cue's in at about 30 F though it's highs and lows vary too much to currently support a normal eco system. Its size is identical to Exodii and in many ways is considered to be Exodii's twin.

Darda has captured 3 moons. Co'Pen, Drak'Kan and Zed.

Co'Pen and Drak'Kan are dead moons, but the mineral contents are extremely high in concentrations. Co'Pen is high in coal and diamonds while Drak'Kan is bursting with many known and unknown metals.

Zed is the only moon around Darda that supports life. It is also the smallest of those 3 moons (about the size of Earth's Moon) and its trek around Darda is the fastest lending a 6 to 1 ratio of days/nights as compared to the same occurance upon Darda. There are no known intelligent life forms on Zed.


6. *Un Named* - Dead huge Ice Astroid, about the size of Terran, with giant ice crystals covering its surface. No atmosphere, no life. Though it is speculated it was once a part of an ocean at one time and that water makes up over 90% of its core. It has no moons, but millions of smaller ice crystals floating in orbit around it that creates an ice belt.


7. *Un Named* - First of 3 Giant gas balls (failed stars), and the smallest of these, yet its size could hold almost 100,000 Terran planets. It has no moons, but it has an astroid belt of crushed rock and ice crystals that surround and orbit it.


8. *Un Named* - Huge Icy frozen planet as big as the Seventh planet. No moons. No astroids. No circling belts.


9. *Un Named* - Second biggest of the giant gas balls. No moons yet. Could hold over 200,000 Terran planets. Rings of crushed rock and ice spiral around this planet.


10. *Un Named* - The largest of the giant gas balls and the largest planet in orbit of the Exodii sun. It's size is extremely huge - could hold nearly 500,000 Terran planets within it. No moons yet, but a huge thick belt surrounds and orbits this planet. No one is sure what it is made of.
