[IC] Genii Locorum: The Living, Breathing World

[Ragenaut]

From the essence of stars, Genii Locorum was born, a twisted, beautiful abomination amongst the lands of gas and rock. Created like a living creature, it performs functions a planet should never do. It bleeds when cut, digests the living in horrible ways, and begets life in unsettling, nauseating ways. A thing of equal parts beauty, and ugly horror.

From the land arose a great bulge, which swelled and enflamed. Eventually, the zit was cut from within, releasing blood and pus to flood around the surrounding lands, giving much needed sustenance to the parched, dead land. From the remains of the boil arose a singular, rounded mountain, tipped by spikes and plates of bone, sharp and hard. Flesh lay around these spikes, which then soon ruptured outward, leaving behind holes, which led deep within the innards of the living planet. From the horrid spectacle, The Esophaghul Mountain was born.

We are the vision of distant ages, the eye of eons past...

From the mottled, primal flesh of the terrestrial body began the sallow desiccation. From this dry and cracked pit formed the first teeth, an endless gnawing of thinly skinned flesh and from somewhere far beneath a chortling scream as the bone of teeth erupted over eons of formation, the echoes of which drifted out in all directions, hailing the land into formation. The mouth grew, and consumed any primordial material that fell into its gnawing gape. As the plains took form, the echo of spontaneous creation formed a a word: "Encephalon".

The primordial flesh of the living world split and tore as deep and bloody fissures formed in the land. The walls of these cracks quivered while long hair-like strands sprouted, waiting eagerly to ensnare whatever primitive material that might stray to close to the unstable flesh of the fissures. These holes in the living world send out great gusts of wind, spewing out debris and sending them plumiting back to the ground, eventually this caused the dry flesh to harden and scab. This is how the Odoror Desert began.
