Planet Building: Echo

The planet Echo is 60% water, with land masses that are almost completely connected. The land is close together, if not connected, and filled with lush plant life. The people on the planet are advanced intellectually but technologically they are not as advanced as Earth, because they prioritize their environment over their progress. As such, the plants have flourished and almost overgrown. The animals have evolved to survive either on the dark forest floor or to be able to climb into the canopies of the trees.


The people have built their houses in the trees, connected with rope bridges, in the heavily wooded areas. In less densely wooded areas, they make their houses on the ground. Ground based settlements are usually larger and serve as a sort of marketplace to trade amongst the different tree settlements.



They hunt the animals in the canopies mostly, sometimes venturing to the forest floor. They also grow fruits and vegetables in or near the larger settlements. All the differents groups bring different kinds of foods and resources to the marketplaces, making sure that everyone has what they need.

Every Tuesday afternoon at Faire Graves Cemetery, the sound of a carnival can be heard across the field and out the gate. The spirits of the cemetery will set up their Fair for the living to enjoy. The different times the spirits had inhabited in life comes together to create a hodgepodge of attractions and characters to be found at the Fair. Classic Fair games are set up, 3 or 4 of each game, all slightly modified throughout the years.

As the yea...
