Monarch

Monarch is a planet located in the Lunar Galaxy and is one of the planets in the Luminous system. It is known for its abundance of moons and butterflies.

## Geography

### Climate

The climate in Monarch is very normal and barely changes. The seasons boil down to summer and spring. In summer it's hotter, has lower water levels, and has a lot less clouds. Then, during the Spring, there's higher water levels, a somewhat warm temperature, and a lot more clouds and a bit of rain. An average year lasts 250 days, so each season lasts 125 days. However, most humans still use the Earth calendar of 365 days.

### Landscape

There are many rivers, and most of the surface is ocean, causing a lot of beautiful land. The planet can be separated into three, meadows, ocean, and forest.

The Meadows are where most butterflies and flowers live. Rivers are very common and Lapis Butterflies thrive there. Oceans are very empty with only really Night Moths and Luna Moths living there, as they are the only species who can swim under water. The ocean doesn't have any salt and is just fresh water. And lastly the Forest, which is basically a small patch of pretty trees in between oceans and Meadows. It's very common to find humans sheltering there as it is very familiar to their earth.

The sky is purple due to the ocean being purple. The grass is bright green as well as the moons. And clouds are blue because why not.

## Species

### Lapis Butterflies

Lapis Butterflies are the biggest species living on this planet, both in population and size. They mostly live in the meadows and mind their own business between packs. More information is shared on their page.

### Lunar Moths

Lunar Moths are like Lapis Butterflies but fluffier, slightly smaller, and a lot more passive. They do not like fights and travel between the largest moon, the Lunar moon, and the ocean.

### Butterflies

Butterflies share a lot of common traits from earth butterflies but they surprisingly are not related in any way. If anything they are most related to the Lapis Butterflies who seems to be their most common ancestor. They are small, quiet, and dumb. They only live up to a month and according to Olive they taste like flowers.

### Luna moths

Basically like Butterflies but for the Lunar Moths. They have all the same traits except that they are a bit bigger than butterflies and like to hunt them when they aren't eating the seaweed on the ocean floor.

### Humans

Humans are a species not native to Monarch. 10-100 humans were teleported on to the planet about a year before current events and more than half were infected by Butterfly's Disease.

## History

Not much is known about the planet's history other than it as only really had butterfly shaped species there. It is theorized that like the humans some butterflies were teleported onto the planet and evolved into the four species they are now. But there hasn't been any evidence to support this or appose this.

## Moons

This planet has over 2,000 moons all of varying sizes. The biggest moon is the Moth Moon mostly known for being inhabited by the Lunar moths and Luna moths. The amount of moons surrounding the planet allows for no asteroids to hit the planet wich has kept it very safe and untouched by anything outside of it.

## Trivia

* Planets are very rare in the Lunar Galaxy especially planets so safe and thriving like this one.
* The reason the sky is purple is due to the purple ocean
