Adagia, called "the world of mirrors"[1] and formerly known as Adawa, is a planet orbitting the supervoid Sothera in the Edge. It is a terrestrial world and the main location for the Sunstar Free Company's operations.

Description

Adagia is a world that is defined by its powerful and steady winds, which scour the surface of the world and sculpt its geography.[2] The world's flora and fauna have evolved alongside this steady wind, shaping to graceful aerodynamic forms to use the wind to their benefit. Off-world colonists have settled the relatively calmer regions of the world, where they have built low-lying, wind-powered, aerodynamically sculpted buildings designed to integrate with Adagia's natural environment.

Most notably, the Sunstar Free Company has settled on Adagia, where they quickly declared themselves the administrators of the world, acting as the expeditionary arm of the Celestial Palatinate.[2] The local population who settled on the world before the arrival of the Sunstar Free Company was affiliated with the Palatinate already — the order's arrival merely formalized the existing relationships.

The atmosphere on Adagia is thin and cold.[2] An air-breathing human can survive without a rebreather or oxygen supply if they were to leave the safety of an environmentally sealed habitat, but would risk death from hypoxia, embolisms, and other consequences of oxygen deprivation. Nevertheless, efforts to establish settlements around Adagia continue: the world is rich with fantastic natural life and, as such, is a prime target for various Palatinate pharmaceutical and agricultural companies.

Adagia's native creatures have evolved to accept this windy environment, favoring aerodynamic shapes, broad, solar-friendly surfaces, and tolerances for the mighty storms that often sweep the world.[2] Sail-like windskippers, Adagian arrows, sky minnows, and dart raptors are common sights around the colonial buildings on the surface, while larger creatures drift in the upper atmosphere.
