Description
Geography
Haarkew is a round planet which is habitable. It is the second planet within the Redfield system and has extremely variable topography. Flanked by tall, icy mountains, cold oceans and dry deserts, almost no temperate biomes are located in the planet. Cities are mainly located in the mountains, where a cool, continental climate exists for the Harkes. They have been built sustainably, as most cities are integrated deep within mountains and caves. It is an oceanic planet, with around 55% of the surface being liquid water and the average temperature sits lightly above freezing point.
There are large container points on the highest mountains which are seamlessly integrated with the surrounding landscape, which allows for interplanetary travel.
