Named for Winslow Meshall, the engineer responsible for terraforming the world.
In a terraforming accident, small indigenous lifeforms were altered into mega fauna. Most of the continents are in the equatorial region of the planet. Shallow, muddy seas cover 85% of the planet.
Known for dangerous megafauna, particularly the aggressive tsuchinodiles, venomous mega fauna reptiles that live in the swamps surrounding the city Balayang. Other dangerous fauna include carnivorous orchids, Rossioglossum Muscipula colloquially called tiger’s noose, has been known to trap humans and other large prey.
The planet is covered in swamp, marshlands, and bogs of varying degrees of dryness. A vast volcanic mud sea cuts across both hemispheres. Under the planet’s crust lies deep oceans. The mineral rich water is pushed to the surface through hydrothermal and fissure vents, supplying moisture to the surface.
Balayang is the largest city on Meshall. It is neighbored by Tarka City and connected by urban sprawl.
