  3. Give context in the comments of your post. This will help your audience engage with your creation and encourage interaction.
  4. Tag posts as NSFW if they contain images or discussion of extreme violence or explicit sexuality.
  5. Advertising should not disrupt the community. Self-promotion of projects related to worldbuilding are fine. However, you must be willing to engage with your audience.
  6. Love each other. There's a human on the other side of your screen, so treat them with respect.

Eren B is the location of my post-post-apocalyptic world called Nuclear Spring. It is a large moon about the size of Mars that orbits and is tidally locked to a massive, Jupiter-sized gas giant called Eren. (for those who don't know, being tidally locked means that the same side of the moon always faces the planet, like with our own moon) Because of how large the gas giant is, and how close Eren B orbits it, Eren B goes through a total solar eclipse every day, when it passes behind Eren.

There was no life on Eren B before it was terraformed, and so all the life on it is descended from the few species brought over by the original colonists. This has resulted in an oddly large number of niches being filled by various species of birds.

The civilizations on Eren B are mostly at a late medieval to renaissance level of technology, with a couple notable exceptions- Old Tech being one of them.

The continent in the middle (which I still haven't named yet) is currently the only continent I have fleshed out, which is why the others are drawn with nowhere near as much detail and don't have any seperate biomes.

The red horizontal line denotes the equator. The point where it intersects with the central vertical line is where the gas giant is directly overhead. The other 2 vertical lines are facing towards and away from the direction of the moon's movement.

The main regions I've created so far are as follows:

Laroth, the large central desert is mostly split between the big cities built around oases and the tiny villages and nomadic peoples who survive out in the Sand Sea. They also have a vast supply of Old-Tech because the desert has preserved many ancient structures.

Alorgast, a somewhat mongol-inspired empire in the south. They own almost the entire surviving population of horses on the planet.

Teluo, a lose confederation of city-states in the north-western islands and stretching down the western coast of Laroth. They are very, very loosely inspired by the ancient Greeks.
