This is for better or worse a speculative evolution I’ve been conceptualizing and working on in bursts with @Halebopper for nearly three years now (only minuscule portions of that interval, obviously) and at the state it is currently in I have grave doubts it ever actually be made. As such, I’ve scraped together all the concepts and creations that were actually completed just to get something out and for the circumstance that I ever do want to pursue this project again. Mind the horrendous quality of the uploaded images - blame the website. Some creatures were map - see inside if you want to
All maps made by @Halebopper Vulcanea is a planet revolving around its sun. Its orbit is closer to its sun than earth, around 20% closer. Its mass is also around 80% that of earth’s with its radius being 87% of earth’s. Own Vulcanean day is approximately 38 hours and each Vulcanean year is around 180 Vulcanean days Vulcanea has three moons in orbit, from largest to smallest, Qullqikilla, Qurikilla, and Broncemantakilla. Vulcanea’s atmosphere is around 1.7x as dense as earths, with it being made up of less oxygen, hydrogen and water vapour than earth and significantly more argon, as well as higher amounts of radon. Carbon dioxide is present in moderate quantities This atmosphere composition makes Vulcanea’s skies a purple-blue, and the skies of Vulcanea has more common aurora events. Vulcanea has a weak magnetic field and a weak ozone layer, resulting is much more exposure of ultraviolet light and solar radiation. There is significantly less oceanic coverage on Vulcanea than earth. The continental plates of Vulcanea are far more active, resulting in frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Qurikilla is 1.1x the size of moon, and orbits 200,000 kilometers away Qurikilla is 0.8x the size of the moon, and orbits 300,000 kilometers away Broncemantakilla is 0.7x the size of the moon, and orbits 380,000 miles away The orbit of three moons causes erratic tidal patterns, and makes the shorelines of Vulcanea chaotic. Due to the nature of its atmosphere, days on Vulcan are typically much hotter than earth’s and nights are far colder due to the poor heat retention of the atmosphere Vulcan experiences a greater seasonal tilts than earth, at around 35 degrees. This results in more extreme summers and winters. During summer and winter solstices(corresponding to Vulcan days 45 and 135), the poles experience around twenty days of continuous day/night and at mid latitudes the day/night lasts for 30 hours Equator (Summer) 45–60°C 5–15°C Equator (Winter) 30–40°C -5–5°C Mid-latitudes (Summer) 20–35°C -10–0°C Mid-latitudes (Winter) -10–5°C -40 to -20°C Polar regions (Summer) -5 to 10°C -30 to -10°C Polar regions (Winter) -40 to -20°C -80 to -50°C
