Information
Plane The Edge
Colors Green mana
Status Being terraformed
Part of Sothera system

Evendo is the a second-closest planet to the supervoid Sothera in the Edge, together with its twin Kavaron. It is an icebound terrestrial world that co-orbits Sothera almost exactly opposite Kavaron. Long regarded, to the great disappointment of early Kav explorers, to be a cold, dead world, Evendo in truth held a long-dormant, terrasymbiotic Eumidian vanguard, waiting for the perfect conditions to begin their great work of terraformation.

History

Before it froze over, Evendo used to be a lush world teeming with life. The megafauna that lived on it turned out to have surprisingly good hibernation abilities.[1] When the planet was discovered by early Kav explorers, it was found to be cold and unlivable.

Eons before 4564 AR, a Eumidian seedship found the Sothera system by chance and planted a brood on Evendo.[2][3]

The cataclysmic deformation of Kavaron had collateral effects on Evendo, as chunks of the Kav homeworld rained down on Evendo's glacial surface, churning and melting great swathes of its ancient ice.[3] The world warmed and began to form a thin but stable atmosphere, spurring it to warm faster. Thin sections of the ice melted totally, becoming new lakes, rivers, and oceans. This warming triggered the first wave of Eumidians to awaken from hibernation and emerge onto Evendo's surface to begin their work of preparing the world to fit their idyll.

Evendo has since undergone decades of Eumidian-directed terraformation.[3] Directed by Eumidian hive architects, Evendo is a world of vibrant life and harsh contrast, where Eumidians have carved out and live in hard-fought zones of terrasymbiosis — pockets of lush, Eumidian-habitable enclaves surrounded by a steadily melting perimeter of glacial ice. Outside of terrasymbiotic enclaves, the ice and titanic beings that live within it still rule Evendo. The largest swath of habitable land is Evendo's equatorial band, which has bloomed into a purely terrasymbiotic biome of titanic, atmosphere-piercing forests interlaced with Eumidian hive cities. This band shows what the rest of the world will become; it is a terrasymbiotic paradise for Eumidians and a strange but wonderous environment for all other visitors.

This successful terrasymbiosis has not gone unnoticed by the Kavaronic Empire, who are designing invasion plans to take the world for their own once the Eumidians have finished remaking it.[3] The Kav believe strongly that this could be their "Kavaron Tomorrow". Despite some inkling among Evendo-brood spacers of the Kav's designs, the terrestrial population is content in their work and not aware of the looming threat the Kav pose to their world.
