Geography[]

Because of the very humid and warm climate prominent on most of the planet, Uljghersn is mostly covered by thick rainforest jungles and shifting swamps. The only area to have a different climate is an enormous (almost five square centipars) frozen wasteland due, mostly, to the frequent and long eclipses that happen in that area when Lkufast blocks the sun. This area (named the Klgn by the Skäetr) is unpopulated. Except for the Klgn, the rest of the planet is highly populated, Kjarkskäetrian cities being fairly common, be it on the sprawling swamplands or in the middle of the jungle. The planet has close to no tectonic activity, elevations higher than thirty decipars are rare and higher than one hundred nonexistent.

Ecology[]

Since the planet is practically monoclimatic, there are only a few significant species of wildlife. Most notably being the carnivorous reptilian Urgt, that, while most other animals inspire Sjurgh and expire methane, they do the opposite. This important atmospheric interchange, combined with the fact that they have few natural predators and reproduce at a rapid rate, make them uniquely responsible for the survival of the other species. Other species, of relatively smaller ecological importance but notable nonetheless are the Kinniuks and Klergts, that are the base of most food chains.
