Saylua
Saylua is the planet that the Saylua game takes place on. The planet of Saylua is tidally locked, which means it does not rotate relative to its sun. This means that one side of Saylua is always light and the other side is always dark.
Residents on Saylua call the light side Sayleus and the dark side Luaria. In between the two sides of Saylua, there is a border region called the Dawnlands, a place where the sky is always the color of a sunset/sunrise, and the temperatures are the most moderate found on the planet. Despite the fact that the passage of time on Saylua does not correlate to a day and night cycle, Sayluans still measure time in terms of a 24-hour cycle, a holdover from a time when the planet used to have day and night cycles. However, since timezones no longer became necessary since the tidal locking of Saylua, the whole planet is unified under the single timezone of Saylua Mean Time or SMT for short.
Physical Characteristics
The orbit of Saylua around its sun takes 365 days. Saylua spins on its axis, but its spin cycle is exactly 365 days long as well. So the planet of Saylua makes one planetary rotation for every revolution around the sun made. Thus, while Saylua both revolves and rotates, one side of the planet is always facing the sun, and the other side of the planet is always facing the darkness. Saylua has a relatively thick atmosphere, allowing the temperatures between its two sides to be more stable than on other tidally locked planets. This means that roughly half of the surface of Saylua is within habitable temperatures. However, the extrema of Saylua (the center regions of each side) are still very harsh and difficult for humans to live in.
Saylua has one moon which orbits the planet. The moon revolves around the planet about once every 30 days, or once a month as marked on the Sayluan calendar.
Geography
The planet has a high amount of biodiversity with lots of different animal types living in a variety of different biomes.
