* | * '''[[Gokolok]]''' — The most heavily affected world, where the [[The Malismorâ]] resides. The air carries a permanent metallic odor and a crimson haze under starlight. Residents exhibit cognitive resonance disorders and memory bleed. | ||
* | * '''[[Varnith]]''' — Displays luminous shadow auroras at night, a sign of psionic inversion within the ionosphere. | ||
* '''[[Drulon]]''' — Hosts “ashen monsoons,” where rainwater evaporates before reaching the ground, leaving trails of black condensation suspended in the air. | |||

* | * '''Pressure:''' Varies by planet; average 0.9–1.6 atm. | ||
* | * '''Temperature:''' 270–330 K (maintains thermal coherence despite entropy fields). | ||
* | * '''Visuals:''' Hazy crimson or black-violet glow during nocturnal cycles. | ||
* | * '''Olfactory:''' Metallic-sulfuric tang; taste described as “blood and ozone.” | ||
* '''Auditory:''' Subsonic tones detected in 7–12 Hz range; believed to be psionic resonance from Gozog'nok. | |||

* | * '''Essence Drift:''' Free-floating motes of condensed CEM visible under ultraviolet light; disintegrate into inert dust after exposure to divine radiation. | ||
* | * '''Entropy Pulse:''' Periodic psionic storms propagating from the rift, temporarily intensifying atmospheric decay. | ||
* '''Cognitive Shear:''' Temporary loss of identity coherence among higher lifeforms within affected zones. | |||
