Shahban Period

The Shahban Period or Lectulan Period is the second period of the Momaganic Era and second period in the entire history of Rathnir and Eldham. The only rocks known from this period are bedrock, hence in older geologic literature the name Lectulan (meaning "bed") is often used.
The temperature of the planet during this period slowly declined from several thousands degrees (near 3000°C) to "only" about 175°C. There was no life at all on the planet during this time, as conditions were probably far too hostile, and liquid water could only have existed on the surface if atmospheric pressure was 10 times as high as it currently is. The first documented traces of life appear during the following period, the Natalian.
