Al’ameen

The original planet of the Iz'kal is mostly flat and composed of dozens of small continents along its equator. The continents are filled with swamplands that also connect the two large oceans of the planet, one in each pole. 
== Environment ==
Al'ameen has two main seasons: the dry season, in which the swamps dry and another, in which the swaps grow large and convert most of the land to mangroves for severl months. This is the environment in which the Iz’kal evolved to be semi-aquatic creatures.
Al'ameen is a rich planet in natural resources, and it is a paradise for the Iz'kal, who keep most of it as wild land, with very few ecofriendly cities on its surface. The population is limited to a few hundred million Iz'kal, and immigration laws do not allow other species to move in permanently.
== Alhena ==
Even fewer are allowed to visit Alhena, a network of caves in the heart of Al'ameen, illuminated by gigantic and luminescent fungi. This magical place survived the korian conquest as it was never discovered by them.
Iz'kal all around the Universe make a pilgrimage to this place. When in Alhena, all the iz'kal Join in a single hyperlink with so that they may share their minds freely. Here Iz'kal from all colonies share their experiences with each other and together are able to learn things that they were no even capable of imagining alone - about ways of life on strange planets, about ideas they had never heard of, and about personal experience and the thoughts behind them, which give them incredible insight into the reasons people have for their behaviour.
This is, for many iz'kal, the most intoxicating a beautiful experience imaginable. Some are addicted to it and travel to Alhena once a year even if they live on the other side of the Universe.
