| |
| The story of OHATLYA has different locations and includes narrative threads on different, partly fictional planets of the universe: | [[the_planet_voi_700_d|VOI 700 D]] is a tidally locked planet, meaning one side always faces its star, while the opposite remains in perpetual darkness. This unique characteristic divides the planet into three extreme zones: |
| |
| - **[[The Earth]]:** Humanity's cradle and grace, abandoned yet ever-present in memory. | * **[[habitual_belt|The Habitual Belt]]** → A narrow, livable strip between the scorching Desert Side and the frozen Dark Side. |
| - **[[The Zonko Planet]]** The Zonko Planet is as elusive as its inhabitants. Rarely seen and only known through fragments—technological artifacts, ruins, and fleeting whispers of its culture—it remains a source of fascination and dread. Its influence is felt across the stars, its mysteries guarded by the Zonko’s silence. | * **[[dark_side|The Dark Side]]** → A permanent nightscape with frigid temperatures and deadly predators. A refuge for those who seek to escape the control of society. |
| - **[[The Planet VOI 700 D]]** A planet of extremes, VOI 700 D is divided into three zones: the scorched [[desert_side|Desert Side]], the frozen [[dark_side|Dark Side]], and the fragile [[habitual_belt|Habitual Belt]], where life clings to survival. Once dynamic and balanced, the planet’s landscapes bear the scars of a mysterious cataclysm that left it tidally locked. Now, its delicate ecosystems teeter on the edge—more fragile than Earth ever seemed. To exploit it as humanity did their home world would bring swift and devastating consequences, visible to all who dare to push its limits. | * **[[desert_side|The Desert Side]]** → A blistering wasteland, where sandstorms and scorching heat make survival an extreme challenge. |

| ==== The Races and Nations of the Storyworld ==== | ==== Other Planets of OHATLA ==== |
| |
| - **[[The natives tribes of VOI 700 D]]:** Towering, agile, and physically imposing, the Natives dominate through sheer strength and speed. Their deep connection to their planet’s natural cycles and ecosystems gives them an almost supernatural edge. To the ExoHumans, they embody the power of instinct and harmony—a force humanity struggles to match. | * **[[the_earth|Earth]]** → Humanity’s lost homeworld, now an abandoned husk. Once a cradle of civilization, centuries of ecological collapse, war, and resource depletion led to its evacuation in 2421. Earth is now a memory, a myth, and a warning—the ultimate lesson of what happens when a species fails to change. Though no living ExoHuman has seen Earth for over a century, its legacy endures in the stories, beliefs, and struggles of its exiled people. Some romanticize a return, while others insist it is better left behind. |

| - **[[The Zonko]]:** Masters of technology and intellect, the Zonko are light-years ahead of humanity in knowledge and innovation. Their actions are shrouded in mystery, their motives unclear. While they rarely engage directly, their superiority in shaping and manipulating the world inspires both awe and unease among humans. Are they indifferent observers, hidden allies, or a looming threat? | - **[[The Zonko]]:** Masters of technology and intellect, the Zonko are light-years ahead of humanity in knowledge and innovation.

| - **[[the_humans|The Exohumans]]:** The last remnants of Earth, settlers who must adapt or perish in alien realms. Humanity’s frailty is glaring. Against the Natives’ physical prowess and the Zonko’s intellectual might, they seem hopelessly outmatched. And yet, their story does not end in surrender. Humanity's strength lies in its resilience and adaptability—the ability to survive and innovate in the face of insurmountable odds. Whether by forging alliances, learning from their mistakes, or defying impossible challenges, ExoHumans have a talent for thriving in adversity. | - **[[the_humans|The Exohumans]]:** The last remnants of Earth, settlers who must adapt or perish in alien realms.
