Hemmed in by two freezing seas, populated by jagged, snow-capped mountains and blessed with acres and acres of pastured, agricultural land, E'blanche is the perfect home for the Leonis Chapter. The first of three maps included in the first novel - The Immortality Paradox - E'blanche is the stage for a major storyline.
Colonised long ago during the Great Human Migration, E'blanche is the furthest inhabited planet away from the central star, Tânwen, in the Canol system. Over fifteen millennia, the Leonis Chapter has established a legacy of self-sufficiency, interstellar fuel mining and wild luxury. Relatively isolated from their fellow human Chapters, it wasn't until the discovery of bijoubleu (an unrefined fuel resource for spacecraft) that Leonians became galactic-renowned.
Capital city, Crin, sits at the heart of four mountain valleys, below the fierce Blanc Mountain Range and glacier and north of the Perrin valley where the colony ship made landfall. Home to the central government, top tier sports facilities and tech-manufacturing companies, the sprawling city contains almost half the entire Leonian population.
To the far north-east, concealed in the peaks of Terrain de Glace, lies Méreclat. A place of peaceful retreat and beautiful views, villages sit around the central lake in a bowl blessed with a temperate climate where the wealthiest Leonians enjoy vacations. To the distant west, a gentle web of streams criss-cross one another to the north and south seas, providing a constant supply of freshwater to the Planes of Leon.
By the OA19,600s, a long winter is brewing on the planet, forming relentless snowstorms that last as long as entire orbits. Almost the entirety of the White North Sea has frozen over and the Leonians are bracing for a tough period for harvests and productivity. Not to mention, another storm is brewing outside the atmosphere, one that will soon change the political landscape of the entire Chapter.
