The Maritime Empire of Antemyst announces the availability of lands for settlement on the planet Riyarth, in the Cyrna System.
Riyarth is an Earth-like planet in the distant Cyrna System. Made up of small continents and islands, it is both rich in resources and an excellent vacation world.
A tentative political map of Riyarth is below.
*The two outlined blue areas underneath Continent 1 should be red, and the third blue area should not be there at all. Will change in the next edition of the map.
The Continents
Continent 1 is the largest continuous landmass on Riyarth. Rich in oil and precious jewels, it is an ideal place to make some money. Its considerable warmth makes it less pleasant to live in, but for those who like heat and beautiful beaches, it may be perfect. The "neck" of this continent is the most temperate, with the most southern end reaching close to a polar ice cap.
Continent 2 boasts the best climate of the continents. It is not as resource-rich as Continent 1, but there are metals, oil, and other small deposits of fuels to be had. The owner of this continent would also oversee the small island to its southwest. The island is home to some interesting creatures and could be used as a nature preserve, or could be used for the bauxite deposit it sits on.
Continent 3 is small, and is connected to Continent 2 by a small land bridge. However, its climate is fairly different - more amenable to growing crops and maintaining significant infrastructure. It has a few tiny, resort-sized islands. There are also signs that a significant uranium deposit might be found there.
Continent 4 ranges from temperate to cold. Its position so far north nets it plenty of snow, but the southern portion is similar to Continent 3 in its ability to produce a variety of crops. The adjoining island is home to the largest lake on Riyarth, and has its own deposits of resources.
Continent 5 is also temperate and agriculture-friendly, and features a long mountain range in its center, like a spine. Its northern region can be mined for diamonds and potentially other materials. Winters in the north can be harsh and dark.
The Islands
Island 1 and Island 2 share a climate with Continent 2. They are connected by a land bridge, but are mostly considered separate due to differing terrain - the southern one is more hilly and the north, more tropical. There may be resources to find on the islands, but not many and not much. They are, however, quite touristy.
Island 3 is green and temperate. Able to sustain many varieties of life, there is plenty to see and research. It could also be ideal for a large residential zone surrounding a city.
Island 4 and Island 5 can grow fairly cold, but are very welcoming during the warmer months and can be nice "holiday" attractions when it snows. These islands are perenially green and even feature a few mountains of the right size for sport.
The remaining islands, in grey, belong to Antemyst. There is also a large seastead marking the approximate middle of the world, from which Antemyst does much of its business regarding Cyrna.
Things to know about Cyrna:
Cyrna is located in the galactic north. While travel to it can take relatively long, Antemyst and its neighbors have developed long-range travel technologies and are willing to share them with nations who have not yet done the same. It is possible to "jump" from Earth to Cyrna in minutes or seconds, depending on terminal location.
The entire Cyrna System is administered by Antemyst. This simply means that any concerns regarding the land or the System may be brought to the Maritime Empire. All occupying nations are able to (and expected to) self-govern.
The communications grid is maintained by Acacia Heights Entertainment. Anyone wishing to bring in their own communications/entertainment content provider should inform the Maritime Empire before making arrangements.
Antemyst has not encountered any sapient life forms on Riyarth.
Things to know about Antemyst:
Antemyst started out as a small island nation located on an atoll in a vast ocean. As the population outgrew the atoll, its leadership began looking for colonies. Cyrna was discovered, and Antemyst's population began to move to the new system in large numbers. Antemyst has been selling the rest of the land in order to make some extra income. The other planets are: an unnamed planet, Aaaliya (Aaali), Katsuro (Almajoya), Riyarth, Mosiant, Terminus, and another unnamed planet.
