This planet is tidally-locked to its primary star with a hot region facing the the primary, a cold region on the other side, and a habitable area in the twilight zone between. It is a member of Third Imperium in the Laraa Subsector of Dagudashaag Sector and in the Domain of Vland. Dempukish, as a member world of the Third Imperium, holds the estate of an Imperial knight, a member of the Imperial Nobility charged with overseeing the world.

Astrography and planetology[edit]

Dempukish is a member of the Sylean Main.

Dempukish is a large waterworld, believed to be the core of a failed gas giant. It is tidally locked to the systems primary. It has an extreme axial tilt. The north pole permanently faces toward the star and experiences temperatures exceeding 130°C, with the south pole permanently faces away and endures temperatures of less than -150°C. The southern hemisphere is covered by vast ice sheets while the sea boils to the north. The weather is incredibly violent, and the air is tainted by volcanic sulfur compounds.
