-Night was settling on the Western Hemisphere of the planet [[Ûblâ]]. A massive ocean separated [[Ûblâ]]’s northern super continent, [[Míçra (Ûblâ)|Míçra]], and southern super continent, [[Malon (Ûblâ)|Malon]]. This body of water was known as the [[Tesparin Ocean]]. The three moons, [[Míra (Moon)|Míra]], [[Nenja (Moon)|Nenja]], and [[Kíra (Moon)|Kíra]], orbit [[Ûblâ]]. [[Míra (Moon)|Míra]] and [[Nenja (Moon)|Nenja]] are a lush jungle and an alpine moon, respectively. [[Kíra (Moon)|Kíra]] was barren with no valuable ores, and the only moon close enough to have a gravitational influence on the ocean.
+Night was settling on the Western Hemisphere of the planet [[Ûblâ]]. A massive ocean separated [[Ûblâ]]’s northern super continent, [[Maiçra (Ûblâ)|Maiçra]], and southern super continent, [[Malon (Ûblâ)|Malon]]. This body of water was known as the [[Tesparin Ocean]]. The three moons, [[Maira (Moon)|Maira]], [[Nenja (Moon)|Nenja]], and [[Kaira (Moon)|Kaira]], orbit [[Ûblâ]]. [[Maira (Moon)|Maira]] and [[Nenja (Moon)|Nenja]] are a lush jungle and an alpine moon, respectively. [[Kaira (Moon)|Kaira]] was barren with no valuable ores, and the only moon close enough to have a gravitational influence on the ocean.
 Immense blue jungles comprised of beautiful and alien flora covered the Northern and Southern continents from the coastline to the poles. Consistent blistering temperatures along the equator fed the continents with plentiful levels of rain and tropical temperatures even into the poles.
-On the Northern Continent, [[Míçra (Ûblâ)|Míçra]], rested flat tropical plains. Fields full of crops went as far as the eye could see. Docile six-legged beasts grazed in the endless pastures. Giant orchards produced every species of fruit. A vast grid of train tracks covered the fields, which were used to transport many products and workers. These tracks covered most of the plains. To the far north of [[Míçra (Ûblâ)|Míçra]] was a jagged mountain range of sheer cliff-faces and knife-like peaks. This mountain range created a nearly impassible ring known as the [[Polar Crown]]. No one could pass by any conventional method, other than flight.

 The vegetation here consisted of giant trees with strange bioluminescent bark and leaves. Some trees were over hundreds of feet high and tens of thousands of years.

 “No, Father—my elders. I have been up north, sating my... thirst. We have a big problem,” Merik said formally. He grew silent. “The Horde is here on [[Ûblâ]],” [[Svôldiir Teslek|Svôldiir]] elaborated. He nodded firmly. “I encountered a scouting party roughly fifteen miles south of the [[Polar Crown (Ûblâ)|Polar Crown]]. I had finished hunting when a rift opened in the sky. I would estimate several hundred vessels landed in the [[Polar Crown (Ûblâ)|Polar Crown]].”
-Merik’s hair stood on end. The air was charged with anxiety. The [[Vistrum]] tingled like lightning about to strike. Fear scented the hall. “Were you not able to avoid the scouting party successfully?” [[Jarak Teslek|Jarak]] asked. “Grandfather, you forget, I am [[Shíkû Brotherhood|Shíkû]]. I slaughtered them all,” Merik announced fervently. His elders sighed in a sliver of relief. [[Svôldiir Teslek|Svôldiir]] shook his fist at chest height and grimaced in triumph—both for [[Ûblâ]] and his great-grandson.

 “We still have time. The [[Malisik]] will be delayed—hopefully for some time. They will wait for the party’s return. We must get word to [[General Commander]] [[Benar Lazrik|Lazrik]] and [[Ig'nar Vîzra|King Ig’nar]] and [[Kîta Vakovich Vîzra|Queen Kîta]],” [[Malek Teslek|Malek]] determined. “I am quite aware of our situation—respectfully, my elders. But I have seen more war than all three of you combined,” Merik interjected, still formal. “But I am tired. I must rest before tomorrow’s journey. I have traveled nearly a fifth of a continent, and it has taken its toll.”
