OVERVIEW
Calliope, Caspian’s great great grandmother, was part of a research team sent to research the planet, and they ended up staying and making a home there. The original house ended up splitting in two, and the two houses that remained are in a close, but also competitive relationship. Both think they have the right idea about what their progenitor would have wanted for Asherah, and won’t agree on who should own the planet, but they still work closely together to keep the planet functioning. Meanwhile the House Major in the system, House Mikarrol has become more aggressive in their expansion and subjugation of their weaker neighbors.

Supplemental Entries
Athenaeum
Grand library and college of bards. A repository of knowledge with thousands of books in every known language. The first glimpse of Athenaeum can be seen from low orbit, a huge spire of sun bleached brick rises into the sky, a lone beacon of progress and civilization amid the violent waves. There is a dock for arriving ships, and entrance into the college is through a glass elevator. As it descends, the rest of the city comes into view, glowing bioluminescent coral and glass habitats lighting up the murky depths like a jewel hidden under a shroud.
The Cradle
A huge fish hatchery and ranch where giant crabs and fish are raised for food. There is an observation bay where visitors can see the wildlife, and a moonpool where people can visit some of the more friendly species and even feed them.
Javan
Capital city and seat of power for the Tavian house. It is a huge glass dome in the center of a huge, bioluminescent reef with beautiful tropical fish, jellyfish, sharks, and whales that swim the waters. The streets are made of thick glass, showing the water underneath, like a giant aquarium. Music fills the air and there are cabins for rent by the outer walls that artists can rent to look at the breathtaking views and use it as inspiration for their art. This is the first place settled, and has remnants of the original research base reserved as a historical site that visitors must enter through to enter the city.
