Versune

Versune is the planet on which Subrift Tales takes place. It is a comparatively small, human-inhabited planet known for its Subrifts.
==Overview==
Versune has a radius of 1978.3km - for comparison, Earth as we know it has a radius of 6371km, while Mercury has a radius of 2439.7km, making Versune a very small planet. The conditions of the planet are very similar to those of Earth, making it stable for living. Compared to Earth, Versune has more land in comparison to ocean, with 64% of the surface being land, though ground water sources are very easily found.
Humans live on Versune, being almost the same as those on Earth, though they are less populous than Earth's humans, at 200 million population. On the other hand there are around 4000 million wild animals living in Versune, mostly in wild communities that humans choose not to touch, in order not to provoke them. There are numerous animals suit to be domestic, though they are not sold at pet shops or commonly bred.
Versune's surface has many forests, ranging from light patches of trees to heavy overgrowth, while the rest is mostly plains. The climate is generally warm nearer to the north and cold nearer to the south, though cloudy weather tends to be common regardless of location.
Humanity is decently advanced on Versune. The current year on the planet is 1817, though at this point humans have technology comparable to Earth in 2009. Advancement has been slowing down significantly lately, as it has become too hard to make more technology without potentially putting the animals at threat.
While the surface of Versune is completely magic-free, the underground depths have an overabundance of magic that, over time, manifests in the form of Subrifts. Certain magic can creep up to the surface through underground vents, and while it cannot impact humans in this form, it can lead to the creation of minor Subrifts at points on the surface world.

Niphora 	Niphora is a place that was once heavily rural, but has been showing a want to advance lately. The climate is slightly colder than average, and there is a tendency for mist and rain often. The residents tend to like exploration and the outdoors world, and on decent days they can commonly be found camping in the decently wooded areas.
People of Niphora tend to have pale hair. Their accent is described as the dead-average of Versune.	Calon Azural
Primordan	Primordan is a place completely free of technology, known for its scenic beauty. The central capital city of Primordan is also home to the centre of Versune's trade. The climate swings greatly, from a gently warm summer to a merciless winter, though the sun tends to shine beautifully in any weather, even through the clouds.
People of Primordan tend to have dark hair. Their accent is slow, careful and sophisticated.	Verriere Refrakin
Razaran 	Razaran is a complicated place, with the centre being a metropolis while the rest is a gentle countryside.

People of Razaran tend to have bright, usually red hair. Their accent is often calm and reassuring.	Kiton Coaren - - - Shana Coaren
Mareila 	Mareila is a consistently advanced place, known for being the place where Subrifts are most well-known. As a result, they are the main site of the Subrift Analysers, an organisation of agents who seek out Subrifts and ensure that they do not cause problems for the surface world. The climate is generally quite warm, and windy weather is extremely common.
People of Mareila tend to have colourful, fairly dark hair. Their accent is rushed and informal.	Senne Aiorouma - - - Riza Aiorouma
Calensia 	Calensia is a chain of four tropical islands with scorching heat, and as a result many people spend their time indoors with creative hobbies. Calensia is well-known for its beaches and fresh-water sources, such as springs and rivers, making it a common holiday destination in Versune. Although very uncommon, rain and wind are known to be severe in Calensia.
People of Calensia tend to have colourful, pale or faded hair. Their accent is casual, but generally friendly.	Julyan Ralliman

==Etymology==
The name of Versune is partly inspired by the real-world planet Neptune - which, in turn, was named after the Roman god of the sea (rather ironic for Versune, which doesn't have much sea).
The “Verse” part may be derived from “versatile”, reflecting the heavy variety of the Subrifts.
==Trivia==
*The calendar of Versune is mostly the same as Earth's calendar, though it only measures the years by seasons, not by months. For example, the 21st of November is known as “the 82nd day of Autumn”.
**Leap years are known not to occur on Versune.
*Marriage rights are somewhat different on Versune compared to Earth. Both husband and wife keep their original surname but append their spouse's name to the end - for example, when Hildre Seylina married Luka Catheris, she became Hildre Seylina-Catheris. The children take the original surname of the older parent.
