'''Details:'''Located in the [[Freeworlds Region]] of the [[Par'tha Expanse]], Norala IV orbited the orange dwarf star [[Norala]] on a wide elliptical orbit. Beyond Norala IV was a large [[ma:Asteroid|asteroid]] belt, known as the [[Noralan Asteroid Field]], from which small asteroids regularly broke off, crashing into Norala IV's surface as meteorites. The planet consisted of a molten metallic core with dichotomous crust. Its surface is mostly covered by a frozen ocean, except where volcanically active mountain ranges pierce its surface. Massive oceanic currents beneath the southern hemisphere and the tidal pull of Norala IV's two moons caused regular seismic activity, resulting in a constantly shifting landscape of caves and tunnels. | '''Details:''' Located in the [[Freeworlds Region]] of the [[Par'tha Expanse]], Norala IV orbited the orange dwarf star [[Norala]] on a wide elliptical orbit.

Its orbit and axial tilt resulted in consistently icy weather patterns. Daytime temperatures reached levels unbearable to most species and rarely rose above freezing, even in the planet's relatively mild equatorial regions. The gale force winds and intense snowstorms that regularly wracked the windswept surface magnified the extreme cold of the planet. | Its orbit and axial tilt resulted in consistently icy weather patterns.
