Shaje

:"In the syrup-thick flight of dreams, you may glide but never soar." - Shaji idiom.
Shaje is the home planet of the Shaji birdfolk. Located in the Kroglglop Galaxy, Shaje's dense swathes of greenery and vibrant animal life have trained the Shaji into adept hunters and trackers.
==Geography and Terrain==
Shaje is split into the eastern and western hemispheres, which themselves are split into the northern and southern regions.
Western Shaje is comprised largely of floating cities on marshland, with massive fields of native algae purifying the air and water. The south of the hemisphere is streaked with rivers running to the southernmost ocean, forming lively bayou and lake communities.
Eastern Shaje is made up of more arid terrain, consisting mostly of tropical jungles and forests in the south and sprawling savannas in the north. Foliage on jungle trees grows high up the trunk, while the ground is often covered in ferns that grow darker the closer to the ocean they are.
==Notable Locations==
* Asterias is the Western capital, located in the northern region. It is a massive trading hub floating above a clear-water lake filled with vibrant rainbow-coloured algae. Districts of the city are connected by bridges for those who cannot fly and the canopy of leaves above is cut away to shine light down on it. Asterias also has a booming scientific presence, developing new sophisticated means of hunting and tracking food.
* Mellivor is the Eastern capital, located in the southern region near the sea. Also a popular trading port, it gets its fame from the rare grains farmed from the soft black fern-slush coating the floor. Buildings are largely open-air or elevated woven orbs due to the rarity of oceanic storms. The jungle's natural materials also make Mellivor a hub for blacksmiths and other crafters who trade lightweight flight-friendly equipment for both fashion and protection.
==Population==
The population is made up largely of Shaji birdfolk, a race of humanoid birdlike creatures. There are also other kinds of birdfolk on the planet, such as Wazzoans fleeing the fall of their empire, and other animalfolk who live on Shaje for business purposes.
