Erlana

Erlana (Erlana IV) is the homeworld of the Gieegs and the capital of their Empire. It is the fouth planet of its solar system.

Planetology
Erlana is a world with a predominantly subtropical climate. It is slightly larger than Earth. The planet has three massive continents and many tiny islands and archipelagos scattered in the oceans inbetween. One of these continents, the second largest one, is entirely occupied by the capital city of the planet and the entire empire, Ichinose. The largest continent, while still rather metropolitan with bustling cities, still has free space and land. The smallest continent is, curiously, forbidden to bear any large cities or settlements, mainly due to its establishment as a natural reserve in 1825 CE.

Cities and settlements
Ichinose: A continent-sized city and the capital of the Empire. Thanks to its size, it has many installations and features to make it a true metropolis and the heart and center of the Empire in many ways, such as by having many residential areas, municipal districts, industrial complexes, swathes of farmland, art and entertainment centers and the historical core district of the city, which also houses the Palace of Ichinose, the residence of the Emperor, the royal family and many administrative and governmental assets, tucked in the caldera of a long-silent volcano. Seinshin Temple: Seinshin Temple is a large spiritual and recreational site just below the top of Mt. Ninyo, renowned for its hot springs that "wash both the body and the soul".

Landmarks
Mt. Ninyo: Mount Ninyo is the highest peak of the Heio mountain range, standing at 2859 meters above sea level. Seinshin temple is found on its slopes.
