So I've been thinking about my land. I'm gonna put out an idea, and I'm open to suggestions.


Land of Glass and Night (LOGAN)

This planet is eternally locked in a orbit so far from its star, it gets almost no sunlight. Draped in an eternal darkness, the only light is provided by the glass-like trees and crystalline structures that dominate the planets sandy surface. The consorts on the planet have light-sensitive eyes, and are some kind of nocturnal creature. The problem is that the denizen of the planet (some kind of large reptile or dragon, even) who resides in a large caldera (extinct volcano), is cold and wants  to warm itself. But since the planets star is so far away, there could never be any way to create any kind of solar heat.

The quest I think, will be to traverse the dark planet to find the largest shards of the glowglass (that's what I'm calling the plants) and use the strange energies within them to re-ignite the slumbering volcano.

I also had another idea.

Land of Platforms and Void

The planet is shattered, the planet's crust reduced to many layers of massive floating platforms, strewn with metal ruins and strange purple crystals. They are attached to the remains of the planet's dense molten core by enormous chains which hold them in 'orbit' around itself. The Denizen, a massive six-legged monkey-lizard, resides on the lowest level, closest to the molten core, and moves between them by climbing the chains. 

The problem is that the core is cooling, which is upsetting the the denizen and causing it to shake the chains in rage. This smashes the platforms together causing destruction and tremors and sometimes breaks the chains, which causes their formerly attached platforms to float off into space. Residing on the outermost platform is a ancient device: a massive antique laser that holds enough power to re-ignite the core. But the focusing lenses are gone, all 7 of them. Todd will need to find the focusing crystals (or a replacement for them if he cant) and activate the laser to placate the denizen.

Hmm, really like both of these, but the LOGAN appeals to me a bit more. I like the idea, but I think to really make it interesting, have everything on the planet made of glass making it nearly impossible top decipher the difference between things. Perhaps the Snowglass can appear like any other glass object on the planet, but when broken reveals a small light that illuminates the  surrounding area with color, making it completely visible. Your quest would include finding a way to identify these plants and bring sight and understanding to your consorts(consorts are the little creatures on your planet) in order for them to prosper on this planet that was originally impossible to navigate. You would need to understand your own Seer of Void powers to become used to the visually chaotic land,, as well as possibly create a way for others to see it as you do as well. Very interesting ^o^
