Among the several galaxies created by the Celestials, there lays one galaxy, with a planet that is very important. This planet is called Io. Io's oceans were not made of water, but instead made of elements that defied earth's. It allowed life to exist without the need to eat or drink. The ocean's pressure was immense, and light did not pierce the oceans. This was partly because, in this ocean, the Veil was hidden. The Veil's dark powers rejected light. Io was mostly stormy, but once every year, the skies become sunny. On the surface, the world is inhospitable, with winds reaching up to two-hundred miles per hour. Below the surface, the world of Io is much different. The bottom of the ocean is filled with beautiful bioluminescent plants and animals, that glow different colors. The most prevalent of these creatures, is the Aoena. Aoena are creatures that resemble jellyfish, only they are much larger. The true gem of the world, however, is the city of Lo. Lo is a city much like what we would describe as Atlantis, only much more technologically advanced. This city is inhabited by the Euaphora. The Euaphora are pretty exactly like humans, only they have bluish-gray skin, gills, and tails. The Euaphora are all females, as it is believed that all the ales died out fighting the Virgo prohibition of the Vex. The Virgo prohibition attacked Io, to gain access to study the veil, in an attempt to create a new submind. The Euaphora harnessed the Veil, as a power source, which gave them the advancements they have.
The Euaphora are governed by two queens at all times, these queens are called Lymphs.
