    Benlon exists on the Northern Continent in the Central Forests region.

    CENTRAL FORESTS

    The Central Forests is covered with towering forests.
    Most of the trees are many times larger than Earth trees

    The main industries here are lumber, forest agriculture, forestry, services and tourism.

    BENLON
    The area around Benlon is where the tallest trees the Turran (Heart Trees) are located and so
    it is called The Place of Deep Roots

    Turran trees are many times larger than Earth's Redwoods and Sequoias, and can stretch

    up to 400 meters.
    They can live for up to 20,000-30,000 years

    Turran trees were regarded as sacred by the ancient Nlians and dwellings were made within them.
    They were never cut, but wood and bark were harvested from their branches.
    Their fungi are well known for their medicinal purposes and their sap, nuts and fruits are used
    for food.

    For thousands of years Benlon has been regarded as a sacred place
    There is always a quiet, reverent air and there are several retreats.

    For thousands of years Benlon was a gathering point for the Northern Tribes and a place
    where they recorded history.

    A common saying is "The Trees Remember."

    Benlon has a very strong sense of history and tradition
    Benlon is known as one of Nlia's Scholar Cities, due to a famous Archive(Library)
    and House of Learning. (University)
    There is also an important Medical Center.

    Icar By SeekHim
    [​IMG]
    Planet: Icar
    Total planet population: 25,000
    Settlement: Northern Pole Settlement
    City Population: 20,000
    Founded: 1870
    Inhabitants: Nlians

    Icar is a planet that exists in my AU Star Trek ‘New Start’ verse.
    www.deviantart.com/seekhim/gal…

    It is a colony world of the Nlians who are members of the United Federation of Planets.

    SYSTEM INFO
    Icar is located in the Revla System
    It is the first planet in the system and the closest to its sun, Revla.
    [​IMG]

    PLANETERY INFO
    Class: K (Adaptable) (Similar to Mars, but hotter)
    Rotational Period: 16 hours
    Orbital Period: 208 days

    Atmosphere:
    The planet has an atmosphere comprised mostly of carbon dioxide.
    Volcanic gasses and dust reduces sunlight and heat, so while it's very hot, it’s not killer-hot.
    The areas around the poles have the clearest skies




    Gravity:
    Due to its abundant ores and metals, Icar is very dense in composition.
    Gravity is heavier than you’d expect for its smaller size.


    Surface:
    Icar has highly active volcanic zones and frequent quakes.
    This constant geologic activity has resulted in mountain ranges that dwarf the Himalayas.
    There is less geologic activity at the poles, as well as frozen water
    Icar is extremely rich in ores and minerals, including dilithium.


    Native Life
    :
    There is no native flora or fauna.


    POPULATION
    The planet's total population: 25,000

    There are four fixed settlements:
    Name Pop Focus
    Northern Pole Settlement 20,000 Mining, Ship construction
    Southern Pole Settlement 3000 Mining, Ship construction
    Eastern Settlement 1000 Mining
    Western Settlement 1000 Mining


    MINING
    Icar is rich in ores and minerals, including dilithium, and provides nearly a third of the raw resources for Nlia’s industry.
    The Nlians have always been as meticulous about the environment of Icar as they have of their home planet.
    In the 400 years that they've mined the planet, they've used less than 0.3% of its resources.


    MOBILE MINING
    There are multiple mobile installations that are used both for mining, extended land travel and shelter.
    They range from 40-100m in length and have crews/populations from 20-50.

    They spend months traveling and mining before heading toward one of the settlements to offload.
    Many of them constantly follow the planet’s terminator (border between day and night).

    Some mobile miners live permanently on their transports.
    A subculture has developed among them and they refer to themselves as the Icarian Nomads.


    SHIPYARDS
    Icar is a key ship construction and design facility
    There are several planetary construction years and space drydocks.


    SCIENCE
    There are several scientific installations on Icar
    The Icar Institute of Gelology is reknowned throughout the Revla System.


    THE NORTHERN POLE SETTLEMENT

    Population: 20,000
    The Northern Pole Settlement is the largest settlement and considered the capital.
    It is located at the North Pole where the weather is cooler and the ground less tectonically active.
    There are also expansive cavern and tunnel structures.
    Geothermal and solar energy are the major sources of power

    This is where the planet's largest refineries are located and is also where there largest shipyards are.
    There is a constant stream of off-world visitors.

    Nlia has two large southern continents are comprised mostly of desert.
    In start contrast, the small Northern Continent is covered with thick forests.

    [​IMG]

    SKY MOUNTAINS

    The Sky Mountains are a mountain range that stretches across much of the northeastern border
    of the Eastern Continent
    They are the tallest mountains on Nlia, ranging up to 6000 meters (Comparable to the Andes) and famous for their majestic appearance.

    [​IMG]

    Although the region has an arid climate, at higher elevations the temperatures are cold at night.
    There are several rivers and tiny lakes and both hydraulics and irrigation are vital skills.
    There are also extensive grasslands as well as scrublands and trees.

    There are three city states: Galeel, Iray and Reemlay.
    Aside from them there are there are numerous small villages.
    There are also many pastoral nomads who live as their ancestors have for thousands of years.
    All inhabitants are known for their skill at mountain climbing and wilderness survival.

    Settlements are built either within river valleys or atop plateaus.
    Many buildings are carved within mountainsides.
    The people of the region are famous for their skill at masonry and are called the Stone Weavers.

    Thousands of years ago the region underwent extensive volcanic activity and in some areas there are still active volcanoes.
    The result is that the area is rich in ores and minerals and this is where Nlia’s heaviest mining industries are concentrated.
    Aside from mining, the economy is dominated by subsistence agriculture and livestock.

    For thousands of years there has been constant trade among the cities of the Sky Mountains and the regions beyond.
    Caravans are still regular.
    The region attracts scores of visitors, including scientists, historians and artists.

    The region is known for its contemplative atmosphere and there are several retreats and monasteries.

    GALEEL
    Galeel is the smallest of the region's city states.
    It is located on a vast elevated plateau three miles above sea level (over 3000 meters).
    It is the highest city on Nlia, which has earned it the name The City of Sky Reach and The City of Heights

    Because its at such a high altitude, Galeel has a colder temperature than the rest of the continent.
    Temperatures can drop to 30 degrees °F.

    The Galeena River runs near the city and is a source of hydraulic power.
    Because of this the city is also called The City of the Mountain Falls

    The city is surrounded by imposing mountain ranges that contain Nlia highest summits.
    From here one can see for hundreds of miles in every direction and virtually every window offers stunning mountain views.
    Many regard Galeel as the most beautiful of the Sky Mountain cities.

    With the exception of docking facilities for flying craft there is no mass transportation.
    People either walk, use animal mounts, or small craft.

    Galeel's economy relies primarily on subsistence agriculture, animal husbandry and craftsmanship.
    Small scale mineral mining and geothermal heat extraction is also practiced.

    Galeel has long been famous for its exceptional weaving.
    The wools from this region are considered among the highest quality on Nlia.

    Galeel is also known for its spices and the flavor of its foods.

    Galeel has a long tradition of scholarship and is regarded as one of Nlia's 'Scholar Cities'
    It has a famous Archive (Library) and House of Learning and many scholars and philosophers have lived or studied here.

    Many believe that the surrounding mountains views are helpful for deep thought and contemplation.
    Galeel has been called The City of Deep Thought

    Monstrosities - Luminatra By Zigwolf
    [​IMG]
    Just like Reptic turning into Deusaurix [​IMG]. Tinkre Bhell [​IMG] will become this giant insectoid fae being. Oberon, King of the Faeries, sees colossal creatures Deusaurix, Kingortres, and Arctidactar battling on the surface world, threatening the world with certain destruction. Wanting to take action, Oberon summons his faerie subjects, including Tinkre Bhell, and fuses them into one legendary being to all faeriefolk, Luminatra, the Light of All Fae. With her luminous, rainbow body, she shines intense lights that rival the intensity of the sun and can burn all in its path if not careful.

    Tink still exists in the collective hive mind of Luminatra.

    Legend has it that Luminatra can lead the way to the burning rainbow colored Bifrost Bridge of Asgard as she draws some of her power from it as well as the faeries used to create her.

    Zulu Mermaid By TyrannoNinja
    [​IMG]
    "This fierce, watchful warrior mermaid would be based on the Zulu culture of South Africa. The bottom half of her body is that of a great white shark, like those that hunt the Cape fur seals along the South African coastline."

    Itaweret of Per-Pehu, Cel-Shaded By TyrannoNinja
    [​IMG]
    This would be another piece of concept art for Itaweret, a strong-willed priestess of Kemetian (ancient Egyptian) descent who is the protagonist of my upcoming alternate history/fantasy novel "Priestess of the Lost Colony". To sum up her story without spoiling anything, Itaweret hails from a Kemetian colony called Per-Pehu on the coast of Greece, and she must liberate her people from enslavement after the warlike Mycenaeans sack her hometown. I've already finished and done a few revisions for the novel's first draft, so it should be ready for publication soon!


    Philos and Xiphos, Cel-Shaded By TyrannoNinja
    [​IMG]
    This is concept art for two more characters from my upcoming alternate history/fantasy novel "Priestess of the Lost Colony". The young man would be Philos, an Achaean (Bronze Age Greek) shepherd boy who volunteers to help Itaweret on her quest (and has the hots for her, although these sentiments start out unrequited since she sees his people as primitive and barbaric). He has as his companion a tame lion named Xiphos, whose faint spots are an atavistic throwback to the prehistoric European "cave lions" with whom his ancestors interbred.


    Guardian of the Gorillas By TyrannoNinja
    [​IMG]
    Raised by gorillas deep in the rainforest of Central Africa, this woman will fight to the death to defend her adoptive family and their homeland.

    The biggest challenge in creating this was getting the gorillas' anatomy as accurate as possible. Their overall anatomy is similar to that of human beings (they are our closest relatives after chimpanzees and bonobos, after all), yet they differ from us in their proportions and postures.


    Map for Priestess of the Lost Colony By TyrannoNinja
    [​IMG]
    This is a revised map I produced for my recently completed and soon-to-be-published novel "Priestess of the Lost Colony". It's set around 1600 BC in an alternate timeline wherein the ancient Egyptians (or "Kemetians" as they are called in the novel) established a colony on the coast of Greece (referred to as "Achaea" here). The story stars an Egyptian priestess from the colony named Itaweret, who must liberate its citizens after the warlike Mycenaeans enslave them and sack their home.


    Book Cover for Priestess of the Lost Colony By TyrannoNinja
    [​IMG]
    This is a book cover I designed for my recently completed alternate history/fantasy novel "Priestess of the Lost Colony", using various pieces of concept art I created for the characters and story. The woman in the middle of the composition is my protagonist Itaweret, an Egyptian priestess, and the two guys behind her are her brother Bek (right) and the Greek shepherd boy Philos (left). The city at the bottom is the titular Egyptian colony of Per-Pehu on the Greek coast.


    Bek, Egyptian Prince of Per-Pehu, Redesigned By TyrannoNinja
    [​IMG]
    This is my little redesign for Bek, who is one of the supporting characters from my novel "Priestess of the Lost Colony". To recap, he is the protagonist Itaweret's younger brother and the intended heir to the governance of Per-Pehu, an ancient Egyptian colony on the coast of Greece. When the warlord Scylax of Mycenae sacks the colony, Bek must accompany his sister on their quest to liberate their people from enslavement.

    Below is my original design for Bek. I felt that my redesigned version had to be less muscular, since the character is supposed to be in his late teens at most.

    Roaring Egyptian Warrior By TyrannoNinja
    [​IMG]
    After partaking in a battle out in the rocky desert, an Egyptian warrior brandishes his blood-stained khopesh while roaring out his victory cry.

    I saw a short documentary on Youtube about forging a khopesh sword like those used by the ancient Egyptians, and it made me want to draw this scene. At the video’s 8:32 time mark, they actually featured one of my earlier drawings, which I found very flattering!

    "There was this meme going on around Twitter about asking people to suggest outfits for your ocs, so I decided to do it. / Had a lot of fun drawing them, so with the remaining suggestions I'll do a second set."
