Laas Sancta

''"Laas Sancta is a planet located on the farthest edge of the physical plane of existence, know as ‘The Assiah’ to the Magically inclined beings of Earth." - ''O'lias explaining Sancta in the LS-Lore book.

Laas Sancta (Literally meaning "Sanctuary") Is a planet located on the edge of Assiah, the physical plane of existence. Its location is overshadowed by a tear in the fabric of existence leading to the plane of Yetzirah. Sancta is home to many kinds of intelligent life, but is more known for being the homeworld of O'Lias Sage

Creation
Sancta doesn’t fall under the conventional ‘Umbrella of existence’ that followed the rest of the universe. This is due to the planet’s solar system being situated just within a magically ‘tear’ in the fabric of space, one that leads directly to Yetzirah, the Astral plane. Magical energy flowing from Yetzirah heavily saturated the planet, causing the formation of Crystal-like formations to evolve alongside the Flora and Fauna. These crystals affected evolution greatly, creating a diverse variety of monsters and humanoid inhabitants.

Laas Sancta is a large planet by normal standards, being three times larger than the Terran solar system’s very own Jupiter. Continents span a vast area that would take a normal human a lifetime and beyond to fully explore. The planet comes complete with Oceans, Mountains and other formations that would be seen on earth. The difference being that Sancta’s size affects all of its contents, forming what would seem to be larger creatures and plants in comparison, but there are also smaller varieties of both

Prospero -
There are several vast continents, some of which no one knows what lurks there, not even my own people. The mainland continent, known as ''Prospero. ''This continent is covered with Forests, mountains and various grassland meadows. One such forest is the Prosperan Shroud, the largest of the collective forests. Prospero is home to the Hularis, the human-like species and their Primal counterparts, situated in the city at the centre of the shroud, A'rhun. Prospero also hosts to the Beast-kin 'Reole'. rabbit-like beings who inhabit the mountain regions.

A'rhun is considered a hub in the Prosperan region and is home to the Sage siblings, currently lead by 10-year old Paragon, O'Kenah Sage alongside his sister, O'Kherrah.

Caliban -
The mainland splits off into a small desert region closer north, known as the Caliban Region. This desert hosts the two beast races of the S'nijah and the Anuma. Besides the unforgiving environment, the Caliban Desert holds secrets regarding an ancient empire, hiding it's old structures and ruins deep within it's sandy embrace.

Miranda -
Miranda, for all intents and purposes, is the continent of the Aurorans, an off-shoot of the Hularis. Aurora believe not in the natural order of the planet, but in the ever dominating concept of expansion through Man-made creation. To that end, they build machines and clockwork monstrosities known as Fabricants to do their bidding. Miranda is ruled solely by the will of a long-dead Elder Primal. Due to the Aurorans tampering with their cities and lands, Flora and Fauna in their lands diminished, reducing the continent to a vast wasteland of metal and Dirt, a scar that can be visibly seen from orbit.

Ariel -
The northern Continent is ''Ariel. ''This particular land is dominated by a variety of Dragon-like creatures. There are many kinds that follow different cultural or religious concepts. The Northern Continent is barely explored due to it's distance from A'rhun, leaving information and stories to be nothing more than conjecture and myth. On the borders of Ariel and Prospero lay the Beast-race of the Vern, dragon-like hulking beings taller than Hularis. Warlike and monstrous, the most Vern, save for their few, very few Diplomats, attack most things on site.

Crystals
Sancta is covered in a variety of formations of Crystals. These have innumerable uses, such as Magical properties that are used in Magic casting, Alchemy and enchantment. The crystals are also a main food source for certain creatures, even some of the more fearsome and dangerous variety.

Aside from the crystals found on the surface and deep underground, all creatures on Sancta possess trace amounts of such Crystals in their own bloodstream. This is due to the Yetziran saturation event, caused from the tear in space close to Sancta.

Holo-Moons
The small terrestrial bodies floating high in the sky are said to be creations of the Original Paragon, O'Rema Illusei, the one who is now believed to be the Trinity Deity's controller of Gravity. Said small moons line the skies far and wide and are counted and revered like Humans would revere Star signs. It is said that some of the moons were created as hollow prisons for mythical and fearsome creatures that once threated to destroy A'rhun, but instead of killing the creatures, Illusei saw fit to imprison them.
