I know I’m 5 months late, but I noticed something this time I didn’t pick up on when first viewing this. On the volcano island, supposedly on the very edge of the world, perpetually shrouded in twilight, there are ruins. Many, many, ruins. Now the people that lived here a few thousand years in have developed ways to deal with the cold, but I’d say those who first colonised the islands wouldn’t have been able to survive, and certainly not thrive, in such a frigid environment. And certainly it wouldn’t be one of the first civilisations. So what’s going on here? Well here’s my crackpot theory. The people who first colonised the volcano islands thrived because it wasn’t cold, it was paradise. Once upon a time, those islands were warm, or at least warm enough to support decent civilisation. But it’s now began to grow colder. And colder. And colder. This leads to one, terrifying conclusion. The sun is _shrinking_

@eybaza6018

They would explore the dark lands in a similar fashion to our world humans exploring outer space.

So I'm guessing shadows in this world would be somewhat unusual (outside the obvious Shadow Lands’ “shadows”), since shadows cast by the sun would be more or less permanent. I wonder what sort of unusual flora/fauna might develop within the larger areas of shadow cast by mountains, or canyons or other large features. I also wonder if reflecting light would play a large role in the lives of the world’s people. Since the light from the sun is unmoving, you could easily set up any type of polished surface to reflect the sunlight towards a specific spot, and it wouldn't waiver or need adjusting (during the day obviously). Shutters and other simple mechanisms could be used to suddenly light, or darken, areas. The layout of buildings could be altered if natural light could be artificially directed into normally dark interiors; I can especially see religions utilizing reflected light for dramatic effect within their architecture or rituals. Things like solar ovens, water heater, etc. could be set up and would have a permanent, consistent, and easy to scale output. Long range communication systems could be set up relatively easily using focused light bounced from one reflected surface stationed at towers or some similar type of relays. I am absolutely not any sort of expert on light, or optics or anything related to this, so I will leave it there. I am worried I might be missing some obvious issues that make all of these concepts untenable, but my mind immediately ran away with ideas about this, and I wanted to at least mention them. One final thought: Since every "night" is essentially an eclipse, I wonder if the people of the world would give any special significance to those odd, crescent-shaped shadows that things like trees, and any other variation of a pinhole, cast right before and after totality. Or, would they just be considered completely normal, and treated as nothing more fantastic than an indicator for when night is approaching? Either way, I assume the people in the areas that experience the eclipses would have unique words for them, and they would likely feature in poetry and various sayings/idioms. Sorry if that is a bit of a ramble. I felt the need to write this all down quickly before the concepts could get away from me. I just love these types of what-if worldbuilding concepts.

It’s always makes my day to watch your videos. I can’t even begin to imagine how you start would plan all think all these things through. 👍

I love it, I definetly want to see more of your worldbuilding projects. Very interesting stuff.

This was one of the most fantastic, well thought out videos I have ever seen! I am super looking forward to whats coming! Loved the detail in all your alien biosphere videos as well even if the creatures are pure nightmare fuel

Just did the math, this would have a surface area of ~314,159,265 square kilometers, and earth has a surface area of ~510,100,000 kilometers, meaning this would only be about 3/5 the size of earth.

Bravo a thousand times over!!! I cannot explain how incredibly inspiring and immersive this was. Every aspect of the world was beautifully fleshed out and explained. I mean come on, I've never cared for anthropology or weather systems/topography in my life but now you've got me invested in those aspects of your world. In my mind, it all feels real. Honestly I wish it was (it would be darn cool to have labyrinthodonts and terror birds alive again). You do amazing work as always. I look forward to hopefully reading any sort of book or lore of this in the future!

If they have a "post-industrial modern age," do they ever make a robot that explores the night lands, like our Mars rovers?

The "post-industrial modern age" is more like the time between the American Civil War and WWI and less like the Cold War era.

@@yf-n7710 of course! And I could be wrong because technically everything after the industrial revolution is "post-industrial" but I believe that's the general time period that phrase refers to. Glad I could help

I love how creative you are with your worldbuilding. I swear I could listen to you talk about your world and how it works for hours, it's just too fascinating! Super impressive.

I love and appreciate, the originality, of the entire presentation!!!

Love this kind of content, especially with your genius.

Absolutely love this, would definitely watch more worldbuilding and exploration of this world

I just found out about your channel and i gotta say im really amazed. I myself started a „con-universe“ where i try to piece together all of my con-langs, con-worlds and con-cultures in 2014 and didnt really think that there are any other people doing this as well! I thought i‘m a bit strange for developing and creating such a complex connected universe as a hobby in my free time but its really great seeing others doing it as well! I love your work! Subbed immediately!

A single frame has got me hooked on this world's story. I hope you really continue to share this amazing story with us! But damn you man, this vid is going to stick in my head for weeks now, the theory's are forming and questions rising in my head! thanks for the awesome content! KEEP IT UP!

18:47 Hi there Aan, how are ya doing?

lovely to see you again

This is just awesome. Finally got through the whole thing. Fabulous. Thanks for putting this together. Very enjoyable.

This is great, and I’d love to see more from the Refugium!

Hmm, I can't help but wonder as to what the origins of this world might be. It's hard to say for certain, but the way the outer moon orbits in a perfect whole-number ratio to the orbits of the inner moons suggests this world (or at least this particular part of it) was engineered and not formed through entirely natural means. But who knows? Do the gods really inhabit this world, or are they a force beyond it? Either way, I can imagine it would be trivially easy for the people to design a calendar system with exactly 360 days, and 72 'weeks' consisting of 5 days each. I suppose then the *real* question is: what counting system would they predominantly use? The 360-day year favours base 12, whereas the 5-day week favours base 10.

maybe the world was created by an ancient human civilization as a safe heaven before the entire universe was engulfed by the eldrtich gods (because lets be sincere, the darkness is obviously inhabited by those beings)

*Presents extremely unusual and magical cosmology* Yo I'd like to live there *"Flying spiders"* Never mind

You basically described a smaller scale tidally locked planet and I love it xD

I need at least an anime set in this world. I just want to hear stories set here.

I'm just gonna throw out a guess here, but the reason Nhlogqwa has the oldest traces of human civilization despite lying entirely in the Far Regions is because it used to be the old Central Region, isn't it? I bet the sun moves every 6000 years or so, or it can be made to move.

I'm 2 years late but I think it's because the humanity originated in what is now the night lands but then something happened (Like the sun dimming) and they had to move closer to the sun.

@@kakahass8845 If you're correct about this, do you think this could also mean that the Central Region was far too hot for habitation back in the day, only becoming habitable quite recently?

Ooh that was really nice! Hope we get to see more of that world later since it seems a lot of work was put into it.

Everyone gangster till Bib starts talking about the 'things' moving in the Night Lands

quality as always man

Interesting. Now I'm gonna binge on your conlang showcases.

I'd LOVE to see more videos like this!!! This world seems really interesting, and it means more Biblar content between Alien Biosphere episodes

This was an AMAZING video. I think it`s the only video better than your alien biospheres series.

5:39 There have actually been flightless bats but they didn't last long and went extinct pretty early after starting to exist (according to the fossil record which isn't very good) Edit: They did still have wings however the were just too big to fly unlike the ones in this video which just had no wings

One of the coolest worlds I have ever seen... recently became interested in conlangs and found your channel. This video made me click subscribe. Please let us know if you ever get around to finishing that book! Phenomenal languages and world-building!

I really like the amount of thought and detail in this. There's clearly a lot of love here, and I especially love those shadowlands. You really get a lot of use out of the unusual setup!
