Mainstream
A twin planet, orbiting a common centre of gravity it shares with Greenlush.
Geography
The western waters region of the continent of Maroque on the planet Mainstream is a maze of wide and shallow rivers, natural lakes, canals and dams which weave through a landscape of low hills and rocky outcrops, thick with stands of white staff, the heavy scent of uloss blossom and the occasional copse of tipple berry trees. Jade glitterwings cross the open skies between the marshes where they breed, looking like giant dragonflies.
Loch Alderwood (shown above) is the largest of the lakes in the western waters region and the source of the river Ankoom which eventually flows to the sea on the east coast of Maroque at Ankoom point where the city of Jymariss spans both banks. Jymariss is the site of the most important spaceport on the planet and is the economic capital of the planet.
History
When the famous poet and novelist Anna Esquelle fled from Blue Home in 2793 she established a celebrated Retreat in the western waters, a number of self consciously rustic dwellings that became the centre of an important literary school. Here we see one of the lodges, with Mainstream's companion planet Greenlush high in the sky overhead.
