Information
Plane The Edge
Colors Blue mana
Status Functioning as the gatehouse to the system
Part of Sothera system

Uthros is the farthest planet orbiting to the supervoid Sothera in the Edge. It is a titanic gas giant ringed by dozens of moons. Uthros is the last planet to be encountered by vessels departing the Sothera system and the first stop for those heading into the interior.

Description

Owing to its gatehouse position in the Sothera system, its upper atmosphere is crowded with moxite refineries, supply stations, and vast ship-breaking salvage yards; Uthros is a common stopover for ships to refuel, resupply, trade, and visit its garish bars.[1][2] In these airy heights, Uthros's environment is an azure cloudscape home to stratowhales, living anvil rays, troporeefs, and other huge creatures that drift on sacs of gas and flagella, suspended above and swimming through the different layers of Uthros's atmosphere. The swirling clouds feature blues, purples, pinks, and an iridescent sheen.

The depths of Uthros are a sharp contrast to the gas giant's sapphire-blue upper atmosphere.[1] Below the paradise of sun, clouds, and mighty storms lurks a caustic and brutal high-pressure environment, where diamonds fall like rain over continents of super-compressed gas and hyperdense horrors stalk the remains of discarded space hulks. Rivers of liquid metallic hydrogen and helium carve valleys through glittering methane and ammonia ice, revealing howling cannula bored by great wurms and other beasts. Rings of cloudsculpted metal circle the core, crossing each other at occasional corners and sending arcs of light between them.

The Uthros Combine has built a research complex into new atmospheric engineering techniques, largely as a cover for a secret research installation at the planet's core.[1][2] The core is made of dark, solid metal. A dense tangle of coral-like cloudsculpted structures extends from the core, lit by guide lights. The structures are mostly hollow, but they're densely constructed, with very small entries for travel. Within the core is the corpse of a possibly eldrazi titan, called a deity and a "world-eater" by the Illvoi.

The planet's repeater is Uthros leading liberatory VORSPIN, and its space travel is managed by ILVTRAC.[3] All Uthros networks are routed through an ancient relic called a Memory Vessel, which converts data into thought.[4]
