Valrias

Valrias is a fictional planet located in the Cygnus Arm of the Milky Way galaxy. Its system consists of a binary star, a G-type main-sequence star named Solara, and a smaller K-type star named Lumina, which provides a distinctive dual-sunset phenomenon. The planet itself is roughly 1.2 times the size of Earth and possesses a dense atmosphere rich in oxygen and nitrogen, with trace amounts of argon and neon. This atmospheric composition contributes to Valrias's vibrant sky colors, often appearing in shades of emerald and sapphire.

The surface of Valrias is characterized by vast, crystalline forests and deep, bioluminescent oceans. The crystalline flora, known as Veridian trees, absorb ambient light and re-emit it, creating an ethereal glow that illuminates the landscape during Valrias's extended nights. The oceans teem with diverse aquatic life, many species of which are also bioluminescent, adding to the planet's natural spectacle. Large, buoyant islands composed of a unique, lighter-than-air mineral drift across the oceans, supporting their own unique ecosystems.

Intelligent life on Valrias is represented by the Aethel, a sentient species with a silicon-based biology. They are known for their peaceful nature and their advanced understanding of bio-engineering and energy manipulation. The Aethel live in harmony with their environment, constructing their cities from living, sculpted organisms that seamlessly integrate with the natural landscape. Their society is structured around communal learning and artistic expression, with a deep reverence for the interconnectedness of all life on Valrias. They have developed a unique form of communication that involves resonant frequencies and light patterns.
