Nether is a terrestrial planet in the Daemoniverse.

The surface of Nether

Characteristics

Size

Nether is 0.81 times Earth's radius, at 5142km. It has 0.52 times the mass and 0.99 times Earth density, so therefore a gravity of 0.8G. It has too small an iron core to produce an effective magnetic field.

Surface

Nether's surface is subject to constant high radiation. It has small quantities of stagnant water on the surface, but is otherwise barren, with sandy plains and mountains. The average temperature is a comfortable 21°, but it fluctuates from -80 to 100°C.

There is much debris on the ground, including a Ravager corpse.

Atmosphere

Nether's atmosphere is very thin, with only a half of Earth's pressure. There is little oxygen, so no ozone layer to protect against radiation.

Underground

The life on Nether is all underground. In the thick crust is an expansive system of caves, up to 2km tall, lit in a dull twilight by bioluminescent fungi on the ceiling.

Chemosynthetic 'petrified trees' form forests, between which Daemons and other creatures live.

Inhabitants

Ruled over by the Gehennian Earthrender, Nether's caverns contain many tens of thousands of Daemons. Kestrons have been accidentally introduced.

The few remaining native lifeforms include Trellbats and Tuskvarks.

Cave grakk live in large numbers here.
