[edit] Synopsis
Tala Nynn is inhabited by various types of peoples consisting of humans, Yerians, Quinn, Menira, and Taschevah. The more important creatures on the planet are Taschevah, a highly sentient mammal resembling the western dragon. Both humanoid peoples and Taschevah live within the same homes, hold jobs, and follow the same laws. The most appreciated part of living on Tala Nynn are the ever common seasonal festivals consisting of numerous tournaments, food, music, and costume processions worn by both parties based around the main polytheistic religion, Naa also called Nahava. As there are good sides to Naahava, there are also the darker battles to overcome. The BloodDome in the secluded territory of Nukal is an arena where Taschevah fight in bloody battles for fame and for their lives. The strength and endurance the Taschevah will be increasingly important if they ever hope to survive the many hellish battles within and future war with genetically engineered Ernerohk as they burn down the Gardens and consume the souls of the dead for immortality.
Naa is the creator of all things and is the main religion on Tala Nynn. It is often given attributes of a black anthropomorphic taschevah with ten giant spiraling horns eminating from its head, a flowing black and silver mane, and 3 eyes, the left eye represents the moons, the right eye represents the suns, and the black central eye represents life. Naa is androgynous.

[edit] Plant Life
There are thousands of plants on Tala Nynn considered bizarre by every means. Although trees are common and resemble those available on earth, many of the giant plants trunks could easily dwarf a house, a certain variety are even related to coral. These coral trees can be found both on land as well as in water and are very prolific. Such coral trees reproduce by the budding of anemone-like flowers. Seaweed-like leaves dangle from thich twisted coral branches. As on earth Tala Nynn is also populated by fruit bearing trees and plants. The most favored fruit tree of all is the IceFruit Tree which produces clear cantelope sized fruits. The fruit, when ripe, is very very cold, sweet, and slushy. The tree itself is the largest with a trunk as wide as a 6 lane highway and as tall as a 10 story building. Other popular plants are liquipod berries, lavender tarts, redblooded purple hearts, and cocoavance.
- The most important plant is the blue-white Kani flower which has been revered and religiously deemed the “Life, Death, Immortality” flower. These plants are thought to release the souls of the dead into the sky during the new moon of spring where-upon the flowers open and release pollen that, after 10 minutes, begins to glow blue and floats upwards into the heavens. The Gardens of Naa are the burial gardens filled with kani. Here, after cremation, the ashes of the dead are dusted so the flowers may care for the souls until the Naa Festival.
