Navia
Navia is a terrestrial realm founded on the convex outer surface of the hollow planet Tellurica in The Helion Solar System. Bathed in the gentle light of the star Helios, Navia experiences Earth-like conditions, providing a harmonious environment for the myriad sentient species that call it home.
Among its many captivating features, Navia boasts an intricate tapestry of landscapes, from soaring mountain ranges to expansive oceans, all set against the backdrop of five continents that grace the surface. Celestially, the planet's broad rings provide ringshine to guide travellers even on moonless nights. Speaking of moons, there are three—Verdantis, the Garden of the Gods; Omorphita, the Heavenly City; and Rojenta, the Timekeeper—each with its own unique influence on the realms below.
Diversity of Life
Navia supports a rich diversity of life. Oceans teem with marine life, while diverse ecosystems thrive on continents. As the Golden Age thrives, empires rise, and prosperity abounds. Navia awaits exploration and discovery. As the manifold uses of Arcanite are discovered, magic and modern technology coalesce in a symphony of wonders.Geography
Global Ocean
Tellurica's defining feature is its vast global ocean, covering 70.8% of the planet's crust. This immense body of water sustains a delicate balance of marine life and regulates the planet's climate.Continental Landmasses
The remaining 29.2% of Tellurica's crust is divided into continental landmasses. These continents, dispersed across the ocean, are hubs for diverse ecosystems, civilizations, and natural wonders. Most of Tellurica's land is somewhat humid and covered by vegetation, creating lush landscapes that support a wide variety of flora and fauna. Forests, meadows, and wetlands thrive in these regions.
Large sheets of ice in polar deserts retain a significant amount of water. These icy expanses act as reservoirs, storing more water than the combined total of groundwater, lakes, rivers, and atmospheric water across the planet. The planet's surface is also shaped by slowly moving tectonic plates, leading to the formation of mountain ranges, volcanoes, and earthquakes. These geological processes contribute to the dynamic nature of Tellurica's landscapes.

Localized Phenomena
Magnetosphere and the Moment
At the planet's core, the Moment generates a robust magnetosphere. This magnetic shield serves as a protective barrier, deflecting solar winds and cosmic radiation from Helios, allowing for the development and sustenance of life on the surface.Climate
Climate and Weather Patterns
Navia's water-dominated surface influences its climate and weather patterns. Ocean currents, driven by the planet's rotation, play a crucial role in distributing heat around the globe, influencing regional climates.Maps
