Valos

Valos is a fictional planet used as a setting in science fiction literature and role-playing games. It is described as Earth-sized, orbiting a yellow-orange main-sequence star, with a wide range of biomes from temperate lowlands to highland plateaus and arid basins connected by river corridors.

Geographically, Valos comprises three major regions: the northern highlands, the central Valara Basin, and the southern Siro Desert. The climate varies from cool, moist uplands to hot, dry lowlands, with a seasonal monsoon in the central belt and irregular coastal weather along the eastern shore.

Valos is governed as the Valos Confederation, a federation of city-states and regional principalities. It maintains a two-chamber council representing urban centers and rural districts, with the capital at Valport. Historically, autonomous tribes united under a diplomatic framework that promotes trade and cultural exchange.

Its economy blends mining, agriculture, and technology. Renewable energy—geothermal and solar—forms a substantial base, alongside advanced materials and biotechnology exports. The urban centers host universities and research institutes that focus on energy, ecology, and artificial intelligence ethics.

Society on Valos is multilingual, with Valic as the official language alongside regional dialects. Education and public health are highly developed, and cultural festivals reflect the region’s diverse heritage. Urban areas and rural communities remain linked by river networks and shared trade routes.

Notable features include the Lumen Sea, the quartz-hued canyons of the Arcology Corridor, and the Valos Archive, a centralized repository of historical records and scientific data. These sites frequently appear in stories and games set on Valos.
