Mainworld Data[edit]
Furness is a small-standard sized world with a standard atmosphere and a world ocean. Gravity is 0.6g, which makes it quite comfortable for short stays.
Mainworld Geography & Topography[edit]
There are 4 separate continents on Furness: Artica in the northern polar region, Kalta in the southern polar region, Myrtle straddles the equator, and Pocono lies slightly north of the equator but opposite Myrtle.
Myrtle is the smallest, with a large cluster of large mountains in the central region. The northernmost mountains are actively volcanic, and the picturesque beaches in that realm are made of black sands. The highest mountain peaks are over 12000m here. The surf here has extremely large waves.
Pocono is the largest continent, and differs from Myrtle in that it has 3 separate mountain ranges, with individual river valley systems.
The polar continents are largely covered by icecaps, but the coastal region extends around the entirety of each continent.
