	A paradise of greenery during the ~~Ages~~ of ~~Rebirth~~ and resilient enough to withstand the temperature increases of the ~~Scorching~~, life flourishes and the banks are among the most fertile soils on the planet. Despite attempts by Dionae to expand into the area – of which there has been some success – no faction present has been able to substantiate any claim to the area where it continues to exist as a contested no-man’s-land. The Retheus Basin’s more stable conditions result in flora and fauna differing from other regions on Hieroaetheria, with lifeforms which can only be found along the banks and in close proximity to the river. As a result, scientific ventures from all of ~~Hieroaetheria’~~ factions are commonplace along the river.

	*Menacing Creatures Which Rain From The Canopies, or Canopydarters, are arrowhead-shaped, omnivorous insects which conglomerate on whatever the tallest tree exists closest to them. With compound eyes which scour both the skies and ground, they can rapidly detect their prey – be it a floating creature, an animal on the ground, or a drifting Starvine – and instinctively calculate the best angle to pounce from. Using a hydraulic catapult method, they lunge at their target at great speeds, their bladed head structure impaling and tackling the target to the ground. Being omnivorous, these Canopyhoppers will target dionae, their speed as they lunge making them no match for a lone gestalt. Canopyhoppers are rarely found on their own however, and it is very common for creatures and dionae to be skewered by dozens of Canopyhoppers at once.		*Menacing Creatures Which Rain From The Canopies, or Canopydarters, are arrowhead-shaped, omnivorous insects which conglomerate on whatever the tallest tree exists closest to them.

	*Cavernlanterns are jellyfish-like creatures which reside within the Subterranean. Radiotrophic, their diet primarily consists of radioactive rocks common on Hieroaetheria which they must latch onto and slowly digest by secreting a variety of extremely robust digestive fluids – first strong acids or bases which break up the rock, then the enzymes required to actually digest the rock once the acids or bases have done their job. Cavernlanterns are solitary and mostly passive, however if provoked – a problem for miners on Hieroaetheria – will respond by latching onto a nuisance’s head where it suffocates them, the upside being the digestive fluids it drowns them in fortunately do not corrode organic matter. Cavernlanterns can be made tame and have often been used by miners and explorers to light up the subterranean tunnels in exchange for the provision of radioactive rocks, though they never remain tame for long.		*Cavernlanterns are jellyfish-like creatures which reside within the Subterranean.

From the enigmatic Time of Forgetting to the transformative Era of Banners, the Dionae of Hieroaetheria have navigated through epochs that have shaped their civilization in profound ways. The Time of Forgetting stands as a cryptic enigma in the annals of Hieroaetheria.

For a long duration, the two stars weren’t even considered part of the Titan’s Rapture system, and eventually they may not as they continue to slowly grow further and further from the system’s barycentre, likely to find themselves ejected as a rogue binary star pair to form their own star system. The two stars represent hope and new beginnings, looked up to by Dionae leaving their home cluster or braving new territories. To the Ekane, the subsystem represents a call to proselytise, that the Eternal belief must reach new systems. For split partners, it represents the deep affection and connection they shall always share for one another, no matter the distance.

	The planet, orbiting a superluminous supergiant star and constantly bathed by the x-ray radiation of the neutron star, is incredibly hot, irradiated and bright to a degree non-Dionae inhabitants must always wear protective eyewear on; for Dionae, it is the perfect world to inhabit. Blanketed in a thick atmosphere composed with a high greenhouse gas content, there is no reprieve from this temperature, the average global temperature lingering at 38°C. As a result, Hieroaetheria is known for its expansive deserts and deathly humid tropics towards the poles, but also it’s permanent aurorae which streak through both the day and night sky. Weather on Hieroaetheria often only adds to the trouble. High pressure winds are common, picking up sand to create hot sandstorms which sweep across the planet; sparse rainfall provides no relief when it comes, as the sulphurous atmosphere brings with it acid rain.

	Hieroaetheria’s notably lower gravity compared to other planets has allowed an extensive and spacious subterranean system to have formed, with five kilometres of depth from the surface having a spongy appearance made by cave chambers and caverns. Home to a whole new ecosystem, the Subterranean is made bearable to live within by a variety of bioluminescent flora and fauna which light up the dark. Arguably the most important region, it is the key to non-Dionae life on Hieroaetheria, with surface life often fleeing into the subterranean to avoid sandstorms, strong solar flares or x-ray pulses, and the acid rain. Since being discovered by the galactic community, subterranean districts of major cities have become hotspots for non-Dionae inhabitants of Hieroaetheria, with the majority of Human and Skrell residents residing in subsurface homes in cities, free of the surface conditions.

	Being a rather small planet, Hieroaetheria has a weak gravitational field at 0.7Gs. This weak gravity is reflected in all forms of life that inhabit Hieroaetheria. Flora, unrestricted by gravity, can grow to soaring heights, leading to tree canopies hundreds of metres high and grass that reaches a human’s waist. With mass being less of a burden on fauna, creatures will grow to great sizes with larger musculoskeletal systems. Much of the megafauna will be airborne, whether they be winged, capable of gliding or buoyant enough to float. The megafauna unable to fly may live in the tree canopies, ready to leap from the treelines to snag prey seen above or below; another megafauna may grow slender and as tall as the trees, high enough to reach any airborne prey above.

	*The Spores Which Gently Dance Across The Sky, or just Skydancers, are sesame seed-sized and shaped, radiotrophic plants which are picked up by wind currents and constantly float through the sky, both near the surface but ideally high up in the atmosphere. Skydancers absorb the x-ray radiation of the neutron star before it dissipates into thermal radiation as it passes through the thick atmosphere, not only benefitting the Skydancers themselves but, due to their great numbers, all life below too. Their colour changes based on ambient radiation levels, leading to groups of Skydancers creating dull yellow streaks in the sky during low radiation levels to bright green streaks during high radiation levels – a quick indicator of surface radiation for those on the surface. Unfortunately for Skydancers, they also form the backbone of a floating herbivore’s diet.		*The Spores Which Gently Dance Across The Sky, or just Skydancers, are sesame seed-sized and shaped, radiotrophic plants which are picked up by wind currents and constantly float through the sky, both near the surface but ideally high up in the atmosphere.

	*The Vinous Growths That Mirror The Stars, or Starvines, are low-dwelling plants often found in the windy grasslands of the planet. Seeded in the ground, these plants slowly grow with vine-like appendages that crawl outwards from the seeding location’s central node, taking on a wide, star-like shape that provides a large surface area to absorb light for photosynthesis. As it matures, large, bioluminescent feather-like seeds fan out from the central node and its vines begin to raise it slightly from the ground, uprooting it so a strong gust of wind may lift the Starvine into the sky, gently glowing due to its feathers. There it floats in the lower gravity environment, the feather-like seeds deposited as the Starvine drifts, only to fall against where it either returns to the ground as rot or finds itself eaten by a surface or sky-dwelling creature. In the deserts of Gla’orr, a Voidvine subspecies can be found, jet black that grows only in bitumen-rich tar sands; unlike other species, the black Voidvine feather seeds do not glow.		*The Vinous Growths That Mirror The Stars, or Starvines, are low-dwelling plants often found in the windy grasslands of the planet.

	*Mammals Which Graze Upon The Cloud Plants, or Cloudgrazers, are large, whale-sized herbivores which are often seen slowly floating through Hieroaetheria’ skies in small packs of 4. Named after their diet, Cloudgrazers feed on aerial plants such as Skydancers and Starvines. A giant sac filled with post-digestion gasses mounted on their backs provides them the buoyancy to stay afloat, still only possible due to the planet’s low gravity, and compensates for their thick, scaled skin which can render most predators’ attempts at ambushing it folly. Most predators are very aware that simply bursting the air sac is enough to send a Cloudgrazer crashing into the ground where, losing its mobility and unable to receive aid from its pack members, it becomes helpless prey. Cloudgrazers have been domesticated throughout known Hieroaetheria history, providing a convenient long-range transport.		*Mammals Which Graze Upon The Cloud Plants, or Cloudgrazers, are large, whale-sized herbivores which are often seen slowly floating through Hieroaetheria’ skies in small packs of 4.
