Arborea

Arborea- If Havila is a diamond, then Arborea is an emerald. Arborea was the third world from their star and second habitable planet, having a mass slightly more than one-third of Aetheria's. Its name came from the Terrearth root 'arbor' for tree, because the entire surface was covered in dense forest. The warm, humid climate was perfect for trees of every kind. The Orchards planted by the first colonist almost 200 years after the resettlement of Aetheria matured in less than a decade. It seemed like the only thing that wouldn't grow on Arborea was cactus. But Arborea presented a unique challenge because, except for small, transient pools left behind by daily afternoon showers and a few fresh water springs, the majority of its water was hidden deep underground, in a single body simply called The River. Arborea was surprisingly lush biome for only having a small amount of surface water. It reminds all of the rain forest of Terrearth. Arborea's year lasted 255 of its days, which were only 21 Aetherian hours long. There was also the Pearls, as Arborea's moons were called. The two tiny bodies were once part of the same body that was split almost perfectly in half with only a 5% difference in their masses. The two pieces circled in their parallel orbits and gave the idea that they were half-pearls floating during the 25 days of their orbit. There were 8 colony towns on Arborea all with access to The River.
