"Altum" In a quadrant of the universe familiar to locals as the Omega Cloud, is the galaxy Messier 63 – however, it is most commonly referred to as the "Sunflower Galaxy". At the outskirts of said galaxy are seven planets all rotating around a large, yellow sun by the name of "Scatha". The only one with any sort of life forms is a humbly sized planet in a perpetual state of frost – at least only half of it. Due to its complete horizontal tilt, the dark side of the planet is constantly frozen with life only sustained on the edges where the frozen Islands of Idanium reside. Unlike the wintery lands, the other half is usually sunny and very warm, being able to preserve many types of creatures (both and land and water). The close moon is what gives this planet its name of "Altum", for the intense tides create high cliffs when the tide is low. On the surface, the land masses consist of mountains and cliffs, and the tops are lush with plant and...

Planet: My planet consists of around 80% water, half of it frozen. It's on a complete horizontal axis, so the back side of the planet is in a constant state of winter – always ice, and always in complete darkness. On the other side is perpetual summer, very warm and sunny. The planet's close moon creates intense tides that can create large cliffs when the tide is low. On the surface, the land masses are mountainous and for most of the time, extremely tall cliffs. The tops of the cliffs are lush with different sorts of plant life and creatures. Large spires come out of the water, the tops identify them as giant types of conch shells. When the water rises, many of them are obscured underwater. Life is abundant in both the land and water on the front side of the planet. The frozen half has very little to possibly no life at all. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- has to be a goldilocks ...
