Lanark is a poor, nonindustrial desert hellworld with a population struggling to survive in an inhospitable environment.

  • Hellworlds often offer daily, and sometimes hourly, life-threatening situations to their inhabitants. Survivors often form intense survival skills and tend to be grim realists.
  • This world has no free-standing water.
  • It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
  • It is a member of the Principality of Caledon in the Scotian Deep Subsector of Reaver's Deep Sector.

World Languages[edit]

  • Anglic: The official language of the Principality of Caledon; specifically a group of dialects known simply as Caledonian Anglic.
    • Speakers with higher education and backgrounds from the upper middle class and higher speak a dialect very close to classical Anglic with a thin accent; heavier accents and different vocabulary occur the further afield from the nobility, and from Caledon itself, the speaker hails.
  • Gheldaght: A descendant of the antiquarian Caledonian ethnic language, found among ardent cultural nationalists and the highly-educated.
