Calphi Bax

Sector 131
Mola Bax System (System 51015)
Calphi Bax (Grid 174 ):
The second colony of the Aeronii outside the Aeron System, colonized on 7105.48. Calphi Bax was one of eight worlds gifted by Temujin, Protector of the South West Empire.
Calphi Bax was colonized by Waer Jaedi, a holy city of Aeron Prime built on the ruins of the first Altian colony on the Aeronii homeworld.
The Waer Jaedi monks themselves quickly built monasteries across the planet attempting to find the most
Unlike most Aeronii colonies that begin with a single spaceport which lead to apportionment of the planet's best land for further settlements and farming communities, the Waer Jaedi monks who first arrived left only a small, rudimentary spaceport populated by non-religious Wear Jaedian and Aerisii civilians. The monks themselves spread out across the planet to find remote locations for their monasteries.

The major cities include:
Cor Nexi: The spaceport city and de jure capital. Moisture farms are scattered around the city for thousands of kilometers. The eastern farms border the western side of the Dhumras Dune Sea, notable for the purple sands caused by the sea's mineral deposits.

Kalexis: The southern spaceport that houses Calphi Bax's militia and military infrastructure. The city is build into a cliffside, making the city hard to detect from orbit. The starport maintains a detachment of Aeronii troops from Lorthaen but the majority of the planet's defenses are provided by Waer Jaedian monks trained as elite soldiers.

An Jaen: Largest seaport on the Errix Sea, the largest of the three small seas on Calphi Bax. The port also serves as the only gateway to the monastery of Aerstead.

Otto: A "cleansing city" for visitors wishing to speak with monks of the various monasteries, with the exception of Rhatho ul Hagren, the planet's main monastery, and Tir Aerondis, a cosmopolitan monastery. Visitors must remain in the city for at least 12 days -- the length of time it takes to convey personal messages across the wastes on Calphi Bax -- and be granted access before being allowed to leave the city by shuttle.

The major monasteries include:
Rhatho ul Hagren: Head of the the Ul Hagren monastic sect of Calphi Bax, spiritual center of the Mola Bax system, and de facto capital of Calphi Bax. Of the major sects on Calphi Bax, the Ul Hagrenii see themselves as the servants of the Aeronii. After training and mastering Waer Jaedian martial arts, the Ul Hagrenii monks serve local governments as diplomats, peacekeepers, judges and emissaries.

Mojan jo Khann: Head monastery of the Jo Khann monastic sect of Calphi Bax. The monastery is located on the eastern side of the purple sands of the Dhumras Dune Sea. After decades training and mastering the Waer Jaedian martial arts, Jo Khannii monks leave their monasteries and spend the rest of their lives serving as nomadic Aeronii peacekeepers.

Daerlis jo Toc: A hidden monastery located in the Canyons of Haedron. Access is restricted to those led by Daerlisii guides.

Caemron ul Maek: A monastery specializing in the training of Waer Jeadian warrior monks.

Maxtho ul Hagren: The northernmost monastery on Calphi Bax, located a rock outcropping between the Tyraez Dune Sea and the northern polar ice cap.

Maegron ul Hagren: The twin monastary of Maxtho ul Hagren, located along the southern polar ice cap on the shores of Lake Ujon.

Tir Aerondis ul Ib: A monastery that trains Wear Jeadian monks for other Aeronii colonies. The most cosmopolitan of the monasteries on Calphi Bax. The Tir Aerondisii live among mundane Aeronii with the belief that the only way to properly understand the people they must later serve is to train with them nearby.

Naen ul Monaes: Head of the Ul Monaes monasteries, located on a mountaintop overlooking the narrow belt of jungle along Calphi Bax's equator.

Aerstead jo Niali: A monastery located on Arenti Island in the Errix sea, 740 kilometers away from the seaport of An Jaen.

Bhar jo Khann: A Jo Khann monastery located on a mesa in the midst of the Jaermor Dune Sea.

Fhae Naevos jo Ib: A collective colony of monks spread throughout the cavernous Dol Muraeth Mountains. Served by a small army of initiate servants who take vows of silence, most of the senior monks can go years without seeing another person's face or hearing another person's voice.

Baeron jo Kam: Head of the Jo Kam monastic sect, a breakaway sect of Jo Khann. The monastery floats above the Raenon Sands.
The Calphi Baxian accent is distinctly Waer Jaedian. The dialect is known most for its airy pronounciations of typical Aeronii words and the speakers' curious tendency to speak in parables, paradoxes and contradictions.
The planetary seal of Calphi Bax depicts the desert planet superimposed by two stylized crests of the purple sands of the Dhumras Dune Sea, which is bordered to the east by the moisture farms or Cor Nexi and to the west the monastery of Mojan jo Khann.
Capital: Cor Nexi
