'''Other Details:''' Oscion is a verdant world of warm oceans, and thousands of large islands of grassy plains and small woods. The weather is mild throughout most of the year along most of the island chains (except for those close to either pole). Though there is a rainy season along the equator which runs through most of the winter. | |||

Valda is Oscion's one proper continent. Located on the southern pole, it is pummeled by gale-force sub-zero winds through most of the year ���?? when it isn't being buried by molten lava from the hundreds of active volcanoes seething across its surface. Needless to say, few people live there all year around, though numerous lodges dot the coast in areas least likely to be buried in volcanic ash. In the brief summer months, nobles and politicians travel here to hunt the elk-like ''ovin'' and to fish (or at least pretend to while hatching plots and alliances). | Valda is Oscion's one proper continent.

Oscion has a small care-taker government which maintains police protection, and such services as power and water desalination (natural fresh water is rare on Oscion). Larger issues, such as global defense, taxation, and tariffs are decided by whatever house or coalition dominates in sector affairs. Currently, Houses [[House Larokon|Larokon]], [[House Barahn|Barahn]], and [[House Beruna|Beruna]] hold the ruling coalition. | Oscion has a small care-taker government which maintains police protection, and such services as power and water desalination (natural fresh water is rare on Oscion).
