Plot & Structure
A rocky planet featuring a single supercontinent surrounded by a global ocean. The landmass is divided into eight distinct ecological extremes—including volcanic fields, mineral-rich ore belts, humid basins, and permanent ice stations—separated by 'Frontiers,' which are unstable ecological transition zones. The Central Highlands, a neutral plateau of elevated valleys and rivers with thin air and hard-to-farm soil, sits at the geographic center. Architecture is constructed from durable materials like stone, ceramic, and glass to withstand biological degradation.

Locations
The foundational era of Antaran history, marked by the arrival of a scientifically organized Earth expedition that established eight research colonies at ecologically extreme sites. This period represents the beginning of human presence on the planet and the start of the biological and social divergence that would eventually define the eight lineages.
