Oh Icarus, How You Have Fallen...

Yesterday, I tapped into my very limited Photoshop resources to construct a more accurate depiction of my ideas.I plan on improving my Photoshop skills throughout the campaign, so this was a good exercise. I present to you the 3 currently known planets of The Icarus Gate.

Ascendus

The Necron tomb world, resting place of The Chronus, emits a yellow glow due to large deposits of sulfur within the crust. A thin layer of sulfurous gas traps residual heat and solar energy from distant stars, allowing it to maintain moderate temperatures despite existing in the much darker and colder end of the galaxy. Despite the yellow tinge, the atmosphere on Ascendus is not much different than that of the fabled "Earth", consisting mainly of Nitrogen and oxygen. Thick roaming clouds of Sulfur Dioxide are common within the weather patterns of the planet.

Aonith

The blue radiance of this tiny planet can only be attributed to the large quantity of Ice covering the majority of its surface. The relatively thin atmosphere yields very little meteorological activity and temperatures can drop to as low as 94 Kelvin in the planet's darker regions. The lack of any significant weather patterns has earned Aonith the nickname "The Silent Maiden" among ancient Eldar lore. While conditions may not be favorable, the abundant supply of easily accessible water has made Aonith a surprisingly hospitable celestial body.

Baregale

Once a calm and beautiful landscape, Baregale now stands a shadow of its former glory. Brought on by tremendous tectonic disturbance over many millenia, the planet now writhes in a chaotic mess of seismic activity and powerful dust storms. Super heated by strong reactions at its unstable core, the atmosphere on Baregale has been deemed the closest thing to a living Hell in the known universe. Seen as a metaphor of chaotic corruption, the stark contrast between the sister planets Aonith and Baregale have become the basis of some Eldar mythology and spiritual practices.
