Astrography and planetology
Drya is a large water world orbiting a pleasant yellow star. Temperatures are uniformly low, averaging around -10°C. Although there is very little dry land the world has large, semi-permanent icecaps. During the warmer summers these begin to break up, giving a constant danger of icebergs. The oceans average over three kilometers deep, although some areas are far shallower and others are much deeper. The weather on Drya tends to be violent, as there are no large landmasses to stop the high·speed winds or huge tsunami. The strong winds make air travel dangerous: the main forms of transport are boats and submersibles.
Drya has a solitary primary star. Drya
