Geography
Visra is a continental planet much like Earth during an ice age period. Around 25% of the planet’s surface is covered with a layer of frost and ice around the poles. This has led to the perceived belief that Visra is in fact an “Ice Planet”. However this is quite far from the truth, especially so around the equator where there can be found savannahs, deserts, and even a rare few rainforests that some of the darker furred Lumii claim as their home.
History
See Thibby:History of the Lumii for more information
Before 200 years ago the Lumii were a fairly average Iron Age civilization that had barely found its way to inventing steel. Most Lumii were incredibly religious at this stage, believing in a pair of twin dieties known as Ymir and Sarai. The religion focuses primarily on the belief that if one finds their proper role in society that they will feel peace and be considered complete in the eyes of the twin gods.
All of this changed when a mining corporation discovered Visra and began to steal its resources. When the Coalition discovered this they decided to make up for it by uplifting the species and giving them Protectorate status under their rule. This only resulted in the Lumii growing discontent with the situation and rising up in the Secession War and creating a new empire under the name of The Holy See.
In the current day Visra is a planet entirely populated by the Lumii, either as permanent residents or pilgrims who wish to make their journey to the holy temple of the twins. No other species are allowed to even step foot on the planet except under personal invitation from the Seraph himself. The Secession War has only strengthened their beliefs and now Visra is the center of a growing interstellar religion.
Population
Before the upbringing of the Lumii race, the population stood just shy of 1 billion. The upbringing with new technology provided the economic and sociological boom needed to create an explosion of Lumii families across the planet, regardless of their environment. Now standing at 8.3 billion in just 200 years, the planet may begin seeing a population crisis in the near future.
