Svartos

Svartos is a world of exile where survival is punishment—a frozen landscape of blackened rock and cracked ice under a pale sky that reflects no light. Its surface stretches unbroken to a distant horizon, marked only by jagged ridges and silent gorges that carry no sound. The air carries the dry metallic tang of frozen mineral deposits, stale and lifeless, with no whisper of wind to disturb the suffocating stillness. There are no shadows here, only the weight of isolation pressing down on those cast into exile. The planet’s barrenness is absolute—no flora, no fauna, no shelter—only the slow erosion of hope in the endless dark. This is not a world where lives are lived. It is a world where lives are ended.
