Kovas

Summary
Kovas is the homeworld and seat of power of the Korvarian Empire. The name of the planet is derived from the continent where the Korvarians originated as a species, Korvaris. It is estimated to be somewhere around the southwestern region of the empire's core worlds.

Xaltairik Rainforest
Xaltairik Rainforest is a massive jungle that encompasses most of northern and eastern Korvaros. It is believed to be the place of origin for the first modern Korvar. As they became sentient, the region became home to some of the first civilizations, including the First Korvar Empire. As they industrialized, the forest suffered heavy damage from pollution and deforestation, especially during the War of Unification. Since then, work has been done to preserve the region and keep it clean from pollution. Building in what remains of the region is prohibited, but visiting and exploring it are allowed.

Temple of Syleris
Located atop of a hill near in Xaltairik, the Temple of Syleris is one of the most sacred structures in the empire. The ancient temple was built during the reign of the First Korvar Empire for performing religious ceremonies and rituals. Though the Kingdom collapsed, the temple survived and was later claimed by the New Korvar Empire. Today, the temple remains in use. Many of the most prominent religious figures spend much of their time here, debating about the ancient text and fulfilling their ancient traditions. Since the dawn of the space age, the temple has been used as a place to sacrifice important figures from other empires to the goddess.

Halxera Mountains
The Halxera Mountains are a mountain range that splits Chelksrin into two separate regions. The resource rich mountains have long been a sourve of conflict between Lyvairn nations and the Sycerians. During the Unification War, the Lyvairn and Korvarians successfully managed to invade the region and used it to bombard Sycerian settlements. Today, the mountains are a shadow of its former self. War and mining did extensive damage to the landscape. Though much of the damage has been repaired since then, most say it will never be what it once was long ago.

Olinidis Mountains
The Olinidis Mountains Range is a vast region that surrounds the north-northwestern regions of Quolvri. Sharp, jagged mountains, unforgiving cold, and extreme heights help to make the region one of the most difficult to navigate in Kovas. It was this mountain range that divided the Altrinians from the Quolvrians, much like what occurred in Chelksrin. In modern times, the military has built an underground fortress in the region which is filled to the brim with anti-orbital defense cannons and other heavy emplacements.
