Isarthaka (althoin homeworld)

  • todo: hash out climate details beyond a broad strokes look and zooming in on assorted cities individually. partially done, but needs more work

    • current vaguely earth-but-with-more-prominent-seasons type state is justifiable with current continental layout (hilariously horizontal) but decidedly metastable and contingent on atmospheric heat transfer going mostly from the poles to the equator
    • seriously, 44.1° axial tilt got hands - shift things around a smidge and you've got umAŕneth (northern polar continent) warming up a lot with primarily temperate and subtropical climates along the coastlines and hot summer continental further inland (the south polar area already has shades of this - continental climates around the south pole, off center ice cap in the highlands of south central Dorzhen that has melted before and will again)
    • tropics may have been distinctly cooler in the past to that end too - subtropical with enough of a winter dip around the solstices to knock even the equator out of Köppen category A (again, not wholly alien to the current state of affairs - K'epeħa {~20° S} and other cities in similar latitudes get distinct winters amidst what's otherwise solidly 25-30°C temps for the remaining three quarters of the year)
  • architecture, good lord have I been neglecting this - pointed roofs almost everywhere though, lots of eye for temperature regulation in most regions. flat roofs almost unheard of outside maybe the cold desert of central Dorzhen; everywhere else either gets significant snow, too much rain or needs to thermoregulate somehow - hot air rises up. arcades likely anywhere that gets decent summers (also most of the planet), though probably with different looks whether they serve to provide shade or protection from rain. tons and tons of different styles to pull out my ass too

  • clothing. yeah they have fur, they're still going to have outerwear like jackets and whatnot. the hell were you thinking, younger me

other major althoin realm worlds

  • make a map for Votxalziga sometime. use more than broad categories for biomes this time, Earth analogies aren't going to work for the climate state of this oblique a planet. have fun with it though
  • retool Mra'isarthaka (literally "New Isarthaka" for the viewers at home) a little - 30°C avg temp with more oceans than earth is a fucking steam bath in places and probably teetering on a runaway greenhouse. too goddamn hot. keep it warm, just not that warm.
  • even with five atms worth of atmosphere and lots of ocean to distribute heat Dzhosetka's ice caps should be bigger, I feel. no I don't care that I already have a planet on my hands with no tropical climates to speak of, we can go icier
  • oh Shlaemrungel you desert filled piece of shit you're going to be a real challenge to put >18 billion people on. capitalist splinter faction's capital world? welcome to mad max in space

the galaxy at large

  • whip up references for other major species. all I have drawn is a very loose look at the tnarrax, probably the second least weird of the bunch as vaguely crustacean/reptile looking folks, after the standing-in-for-humans-but-not-really althoinui
  • decide if I want some sort of written-only language for ease of communication between the various empires here or if they all just dick around with their own interspecies creoles on top of whatever multitude of languages (not necessarily spoken ones either) they have among themselves. something unified feels inevitable to keep from throwing sextillions of people into war by sheer accident in the middle of this big ol' cold war style situation though
  • wormhole networks. internally most realms are gonna be pretty well connected, how about between them? (probably varies depending on relations and general mindset per primary/originating species)
  • write more stories, dipshit. you've got a few dramatis personae floating around already, flesh them out and whip up more, especially non-althoinui.
