Location

Daemoniverse

Planetary Class

REF

Creator

Styracosaurus Rider

Lanka is a terrestrial planet located on the outer edge of the Daemoniverse. The Gehennian Ravana rules over this planet.

Planetary Characteristics

Since Lanka is so far away from the Hellstar (the only planet further away is Ymir), it is a wonder life ever emerged at all.

Size

Lanka is a small planet, with an average radius of around 2000 miles.

Appearance

A map of Lanka's surface. The fumes are omitted from this image.

Lanka was once a vibrant and lively planet, but the arrival of Ravana and his army of Rakshasa changed that. Now it is a wasteland, with mechanically created creatures called cykrons roaming about.

Lanka appears orange from space, but this is from the fumes produced by the factories in Swarga Loka. The real color of the planet's surface is a harsh gray. Some of the ground surrounding Swarga Loka has been stained orange because of the fumes, this color is not natural.

Past records suggest the planet was orginally covered in plains.

Life

Most of the organisms that remain on Lanka are either Daemons or mechanical beings.

Former Sapients

One of the Praedicans

Lanka used to be inhabited by a sapient race. But Ravana drove them out of their capital city, Swarga Loka, and they were never seen again.

The Praedicans, another sapient race, were driven to near extinction.

Trivia

  • Much of the creations of Lanka are based on Hindu mythology (Ravana, Jatayu, Swarga Loka, etc.). Others are Greek (Stymphalids). Raskovnik is Norse.
