Osuvia

Osuvia is a fictional planet and setting created for speculative fiction and tabletop role-playing games. It is designed to support diverse narratives by offering a coherent geography, history, and culture. Although many writers have contributed details, Osuvia is not a real astronomical body and is used as a shared, adaptable world.

Geographically, Osuvia resembles a near-Earth planet with two large continental masses separated by a broad central belt. The western continent hosts dense rainforests and coastal archipelagos, while the eastern realm features highlands, savannas, and temperate zones. The world experiences pronounced seasonal monsoons and shifting trade winds that influence travel, commerce, and settlement patterns. Unique ecosystems include luminescent forests and migratory desert corridors.

Osuvian society is organized into regional cultures linked by trade networks, maritime routes, and shared mythic traditions. The major cultural groups speak related dialects of the Osuvian language, with regional scripts and oral lore. Social life often centers on guilds, scholarly academies, and councils that govern by consensus or rotating leadership.

In most depictions, Osuvia emerged from early maritime republics and mineral economies, later forming a loose federation known as the Osuvian Confederacy. Governance emphasizes regional autonomy within a federal framework, with a Council of Representatives and a rotating presidency. Historical narratives commonly feature exploration, intercity alliances, and efforts to balance environmental stewardship with development.

Key resources include marine harvests, agricultural produce, and fictional minerals such as osuvite, used for energy storage and research. Technology ranges from wind-driven airships and gravity-powered transport to advanced biotech and astronomy-based observatories. Cultural emphasis on science and exploration shapes education and exchange programs across the confederacy.
