Thalnoria

Thalnoria is a fictional planet within the fictional galaxy of Xylos. It is characterized by its twin suns, a red dwarf and a blue giant, which cast a unique, ever-shifting light across its surface. The planet's geography is predominantly composed of vast, crystalline deserts interspersed with dense, bioluminescent jungles that thrive in the twilight zones between the suns' dominant influences.

The native sentient species of Thalnoria are known as the K'tharr. They are a silicon-based lifeform, characterized by their crystalline exoskeletons and their ability to absorb energy directly from the planet's unique solar radiation. The K'tharr are a reclusive people, primarily living in subterranean cities carved from the planet's abundant mineral deposits. Their society is structured around a collective consciousness, with individual K'tharr contributing to a shared pool of knowledge and experience.

Thalnoria's atmosphere is rich in exotic gases that contribute to the vibrant auroras that frequently light up its night sky. The planet is also known for its unusual gravitational fluctuations, which are believed to be caused by the close proximity of its twin suns. These fluctuations have led to the evolution of flora and fauna adapted to rapid changes in weight and pressure. Thalnoria remains largely unexplored by off-world civilizations, due to its remote location and the K'tharr's preference for isolation.
