Krystar, also known as "Earth" or "the World," is the third planet in the Xyron System, between Aelion and Zephyria. It is the only explored planet in the system that has been found to be habitable. Krystar has two satellites revolving around it, Kryptod and Crone. The planet is divided into five continents, which are surrounded by large bodies of water, which include straits, seas, and oceans. Krystar's atmospheric dynamics are pivotal in maintaining its surface conditions and safeguarding it against meteoroids and harmful UV radiation. Dominated by nitrogen and oxygen, Krystar's atmosphere also hosts abundant water vapor, forming expansive clouds that blanket its surface. Acting as a greenhouse gas, water vapor, in conjunction with other gases like carbon dioxide (CO₂), regulates temperature by trapping solar energy, thus enabling the existence of liquid water and sustaining a habitable environment. This intricate interplay of gases underscores Krystar's ability to support life and maintain a stable climate, emphasizing the planet's significance within the cosmos. Understanding these atmospheric processes is essential for comprehending Krystar's unique environmental characteristics and its broader role in the universe.

Krystar, similar to most other bodies in the Xyron System, originated 4.5 billion years ago from gas and dust in the early solar system. During the first billion years of its history, the ocean formed, and subsequently, life began to develop within it. Life eventually encompassed the globe, altering Krystar's atmosphere and surface, culminating in the Great Oxidation Event two billion years ago. Humans, Homo sapiens, first appeared around the year 2100 BCE in Alagesia and have since dispersed across every continent on Krystar. Dependence on Krystar's biosphere and natural resources is crucial for human survival, yet their activities have increasingly impacted the planet's environment. Currently, humanity's influence on Krystar's climate and biosphere is unsustainable, posing threats to the livelihoods of humans and numerous other life forms, and causing widespread extinctions.

Etymology

The term "Krystar" has gone through multiple revisions and alterations to achieve its current form. The roots of the word traces back to early classical languages such as Greek and Latin, which were later altered and combined to form a similar sounding term. The term "Krystar" can be divided into two parts consisting of "krys-" and "-tar". "Krys-" is derived from the Ancient Greek word "κρύσταλλος" (krystallos), meaning "crystal." The Ancient Greek "κρύσταλλος" itself is believed to originate from "κρύος" (kryos), meaning "frost" or "ice," reflecting the clear, solid nature of crystals. This prefix suggests clarity, purity, and a foundational element, often associated with the natural and geological aspects of the origin of the planet. The "-tar" is linked to the Ancient Greek word "ἀστήρ" (astēr), meaning "star." This root is found in many modern words related to stars and astronomy, such as "asteroid" and "astronomy." Alternatively, in Latin, the word "stella" means "star," although the Greek influence is more apparent in this construction. The suffix was slightly modified to "-tar" to create a harmonious blend with the prefix.

Other names of the planet include Earth and the World. The word "Earth" originates from the Old English "eorþe," meaning ground or soil, and is related to the Old Saxon "ertha," Old High German "erda," and Old Norse "jǫrð," all derived from the Proto-Germanic root "*erþō." This, in turn, traces back to the Proto-Indo-European root "*er-" or "*erə-," meaning earth or soil, also reflected in Greek "ἔρα" and Latin "terra." Initially referring to the ground, the term evolved through Middle and Modern English to signify our planet. The term "world" originates from the Old English "weoruld" or "woruld," combining "wer" (man) and "eld" (age), meaning "the age of man" or "the lifetime of a human being." This reflects an anthropocentric perspective of existence. The Old English term is related to Old Saxon "werold," Old High German "weralt," and Old Norse "verǫld," all derived from the Proto-Germanic "*weraldiz," which combines "*weraz" (man) and "*aldiz" (age). These roots trace back to the Proto-Indo-European roots "*wiros" (man) and "*ald" (age).

Geography

Krystar, boasts a diverse geography characterized by five major continents: Occeia, Orrasia, Diasparsia, Agalesia, and Valoria. Orrasia stands out as the largest continent, encompassing vast stretches of land and diverse ecosystems. It is home to the mighty River Athana, renowned as the longest river on Krystar and serving as the cradle of the first civilization to emerge on the planet. Diasparsia, on the other hand, is notable for its unique geography, resembling an enormous archipelago due to its abundance of islands scattered across its territory. These islands contribute to the distinctiveness of Diasparsia's landscape, offering a rich tapestry of environments and habitats.

Krystar's geography is further shaped by large bodies of water, including expansive oceans, seas, and straits. The planet is surrounded by vast stretches of water, fostering diverse marine ecosystems and serving as vital conduits for trade and transportation. The presence of significant water bodies further enhances the planet's geographical diversity, shaping its ecosystems and influencing the development of civilizations across its surface.

Countries

The countries of Krystar are spread across its five continents and currently there are zero officially recognised countries in Krystar.
