Athass

Athass is a fictional planet located in the fictional galaxy of Xylos. It is a terrestrial world with a nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere, supporting a variety of indigenous flora and fauna. The planet's surface is characterized by vast, arid plains interspersed with deep canyons and occasional volcanic mountain ranges. The climate is generally hot and dry, with significant temperature fluctuations between day and night. Water is scarce, primarily found in underground aquifers and in a few scattered, brackish seas.

The dominant sentient species on Athass is the Athassians, a reptilian humanoid race. They possess thick, scaled hides, adapted to the harsh environment, and are known for their resilience and stoicism. Athassian society is structured around a tribal system, with each tribe adhering to ancient traditions and a deep respect for their ancestral lands. Their technology is relatively primitive, focusing on sustainable resource management and survival in their challenging ecosystem. They have developed rudimentary tools and shelters using local materials, and their culture emphasizes communal living and cooperation. Intertribal relations are generally peaceful, though disputes over resources can occasionally arise. The planet's history is marked by periods of drought and volcanic activity, which have shaped the Athassian way of life and their cultural narratives.
