Planet:Araveene

Araveene is the unofficial capital of the Corovai System loacated in the. A moon of the gas giant Corovai IV, Araveene is known for its single continent-spanning city that houses a large percentage of the population.

Geography
The planet's surface is dominated by a single continent and several smaller archipeligos that take up 70% of the planetoid's surface, with the remaining 30% being algae-rich terraformed oceon. At one time the main continent was peppered with craggy mountains and marked with craters, most of which has been built upon by the selenopolis of Araveene City.

The glass and gold spires of the city are considered to be the planetoid's defining feature, which stretch up to 4km above Araveene's surface. The remaining scrubland is used by colonists as farmland or wildlife conservation projects to protect what little land remains unisturbed by spire construction. The height of the towers gradualyl decreases along the fringe between the two regions.

From orbit and when it is dark, it is possible to see the city's concentric patterns which weave and thread across the continent's surface like golden spider webs. Within these major threads are smaller threads, which effectively illuminate the entire surface though the clouds. The light is so intense that on a clrar night, oen can see the mon shining like a star, an enormous light that marks out the single continent across the system.

Climate
Due to the distance from the parent star, the average temperatures in regions beyond the main city and outside specially designated "artificial temperate zones" can climb to -45 degrees C, but drop below -100 degrees C. Most of the population relies on a combination of geothermal heating ssytems which pump a layer of hot air to the populated areas, with constant use of climate-control ssytems to prevent the formation of storm surges where the warm and frigid air meet.

Within these temeprate zones, the air is cool with dense layers of cloud to trap heat. Araveene City is mostly climate-controlled due to the possibility of inhabitants living up to 4km above the planetoid's natural surface.
