#alentis

Hello everyone, sorry for no posts for so long. I still want to keep working on Alentis, however the friend group I was working on it with kinda fell apart.

I still would like to keep doing it with input from people other than myself, but I'm massively introverted, so that was my one actual friend group.

I haven't decided if I even want to have another friend group like that, as I'm so introverted it left me socially exhausted a lot of the time.

So, since I still want to work on this with other people helping, I thought I would open it up to my Patreon. It's still kind of a tentative idea to do the Alentis project this way, but my Patreon is set up, so if you at least want to see my work process on other projects and pieces, go ahead and join:

Sorry for the months long delay between posts! I had no idea it'd take this long to make a map (well, technically multiple maps.) Now I know for the future.

The Inner Ring Islands of Alentis forbit in a thin, symmetrical ring around the Core and Core Islands far below. Unlike the Core Islands, their climate doesn't change dramatically between islands at different altitudes, though there are some small differences. The higher islands tend to be a little colder and have a little more snow, whereas the lower ones tend to be a little warmer. The range is similar to the climate range in the pacific northwest of North America.

The Core Islands of Alentis are the hottest lands on the planet, with the coolest climates in this zone being the steamy jungles and hot plains up the uppermost Core Islands, and the hottest islands being the uninhabitable lowest islands in the orbit. The lower islands are often swamped with molten bismuth, sulfur, and other elements. However, sometimes ancient ruins can be seen on the lower islands, melted beyond recognition by the molten rock flowing around them.

While populations here are sparser than the islands on the Inner Ring due to the temperatures, some of the most devoted followers of the gods live on the Core Islands, most of them followers of the God of Gravity.

The water on the Core Islands gives off steam from the hot temperatures, but is usually safe to drink once left to cool. Swimming in the boiling water of islands closer habitable islands to the core is generally not recommended, however.
