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.

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 one moon which orbits the planet.

The sun of Saylua's system is a red dwarf.

History of Saylua

Saylua was originally not tidally locked and used to have a time-based day and night cycle. The planet has always had a high amount of biodiversity with lots of different animal types living in a variety of different biomes.
