Paradise

Paradise has several large oceans and continents plus year-round ice caps at the poles. In Paradise's ancient geological past,it was completely covered by water. Within the last hundred millennia, breeds of gigantic fast-growing coral have built up reefs, atolls, islands and eventually continents.

The continents of Paradise are covered in rich topsoil and vegetation, with the exception of several large deserts. These built-up continents lack metallic ores suitable for making tools, the hardest mineral being the brittle strata built up by the coral.

Paradise's ecosystems support a wide variety of archosaurian wildlife, relatively undisturbed by the technologically primitive anthrosaur cultures of this mineral-poor planet. Of particular note is the abundance of giant predators, from massive lyndwyrms to desert sandwyrms.

Paradise's Anthrosaur cultures are technologically primitive, without wheeled vehicles or sometimes even fire. Without hard minerals, tools, weapons and armor must be made of wood, bone, skin and teeth.
