Native Lifeforms[edit]
The low presence of available, liquid surface water has led to a fantastic proliferation of xerophytes, plant-life and plant-like life adapted to the cold, desert-like conditions of this world.
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
Liquid water is prized; only the dictator and his nobles are allowed more than their needs. Noble status can be achieved with years of hard work and study - some few commoners occasionally manage it. Nobles are required to treat commoners fairly, but death is a common legal penalty.
