			== Natural History ==

			Avalon formed approximately 2.31 billion years ago, shortly after its parent planet. Similarly to the planets, it coalesced out of a disk of gas and dust, though it formed inside a smaller disk orbiting Valaya, rather than the larger protoplanetary disk surrounding Solakku, though the material composing the former would have been captured from the latter.

			The atmosphere of Avalon would’ve formed later from volcanic activity and outgassing, though its initial thickness would’ve been thinner than it is today. After formation, Avalon’s surface rapidly cooled, causing volatile ices, including water and ammonia, to freeze solid. However, pockets of water, having condensed out of the atmosphere during this cooling process, formed underground, where they were kept liquid by tidal heating and geothermal heat.

			These underground oceans were left isolated until 1.6 billion years ago, during which time the first Prokaryotic cells would’ve developed around geothermal vents and spread out from there. At the same time, Solakku’s luminosity had been slowly increasing, together with volcanic activity enriching the atmosphere above with greenhouse gases, leading to temperatures rising to above the melting point of ammonia. Eventually, geological activity caused the forming ammonia surface oceans to make contact with the underground water oceans, causing them to mix. This process is known as The Great Nitrification event and lasted until 1.3 billion years ago, when Avalon’s surface temperature largely stabelized and the two sets of oceans became fully mixed with each other.

			At the time, the average composition of the oceans would’ve been more skewed towards a higher ammonia content than today, with geological evidence suggesting a ammonia content as high as 80%. The early, water-based life would’ve been forced to adapt to the sudden presence of Ammonia, a toxic substance for those early cells, causing a mass-extinction event out of which the first ammonia-based single-celled organisms emerged. These Prokaryotes would then go on to become the common ancestor to all modern life on Avalon.

			It is believed that a number of these cells left their natural environment, floating upwards through the tunnels connecting the oceans until reaching the surface, where they quickly adapted to make use of starlight from Solakku as an energy source. These photosynthetic cells produced oxygen as a byproduct, initiating the Great Oxygenation Event, lasting 600 million years, during which carbon dioxide in the atmosphere was converted to oxygen. This, combined with the outgassing and evaporation caused by the rise in surface temperature, eventually transformed Avalon’s atmosphere towards the composition and thickness it has today.

			About 1.3 billion years ago, about halfway through the Great Oxygenation Event, the first Eukaryotic cells developed and filled the oceans. The first multi-cellular life developed much later, about 900 million years ago.

Avalon is the fourth and largest moon of [[Valaya]], and the only celestial body orbiting [[Solakku]] known to naturally harbor life and one of only three with exposed bodies of liquid on its surface. It is mostly barren, with a majority of the surface taken up by cold deserts, though heavily vegetated areas can be found in coastal regions, with the density of vegetation increasing towards the equator.

Avalon holds on to a thick atmosphere, which consists mostly of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen nitrogen] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen oxygen]. It plays a vital role on sustaining the habitable surface conditions, as it generates a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_effect greenhouse effect] that maintains the average surface temperature of {{convert|-50|C|F}}. Evaporation occuring in Avalon’s oceans generate a consistent cloud cover in the atmosphere, as well as powering global precipitation.

Most notably, Avalon is one of just a few worlds in the galaxy where intelligent life has evolved. [[Avali]] have come to inhabit every geographical region of Avalon, having had a profound impact on its biosphere.

Avalon Standard Calendar

	The Avalon Standard Calendar was the official calendar system of the [[Illuminate Republic~~]] and now of the [[Avalon Alliance~~]]. It splits each year (one full orbit around [[Solakku]]), on Avalon into 893 days. This is equal to ~13 Earth-years and ~128 Earth-hours per day. These days are then organized into 20 seasons, of which 13 are 45 days long, and 7 are 44 days long. The first 7 seasons of each year are the short 44-day ones, with the rest being 45 days.

The first 7 seasons of each year are the short 44-day ones, with the rest being 45 days.

	For everyday scheduling, there is also a division into 12 day long cycles, a number roughly based on the conjunction of Avalon and Mov. Every season is about 3.75 cycles long, but seasons and cycles are not forced to be aligned, making the behavior similar to how weeks are not aligned to months in the Gregorian calendar.

Every season is about 3.75 cycles long, but seasons and cycles are not forced to be aligned, making the behavior similar to how weeks are not aligned to months in the Gregorian calendar.

	Year 0, Day 0 was defined as being the day the rule of law for the ~~first~~ Illuminate ~~nation~~ was signed, even though the calendar was not introduced until centuries after the fact, and made the official calendar of the Republic much later in ~~309~~. Years before ~~this day~~ are simply expressed as negative numbers.		Year 0, Day 0 was defined as being the day the rule of law for the Illuminate Republic was signed, even though the calendar was not introduced until centuries after the fact, and made the official calendar of the Republic much later in the year 3. Years before year 0 are simply expressed as negative numbers.

	Due to Avalon’s movement around Solakku, its Sidereal period is ever so slightly longer than its true rotation period, leading to a continuous buildup of error in time measurement, which eventually needs to be corrected by removing a day in the year. These leap years occur on every 180 years and remove the 45th day of the 8th season, making that year begin with 8 44-day seasons rather than 7. Theoretically, an additional day needs to be skipped every 2,592 years, which has yet to occur once, but has been scheduled to appear as an out-of-order, additional leap year in 2,593.

The exact year when the first version of this calendar was drafted is unknown as the original calendar did not count years, but was likely around the year -30.

	To create this calendar, an existing ancient calendar, based on the movement of [[Crest]] throughout the year, was modified. As Crest slightly moves along its own orbit over each year, calendars based on its movement are not perfectly aligned to Valaya's orbital period and drift over time. The Astronomer's Calendar intended to correct for this.		To create this calendar, an existing ancient calendar, based on the movement of [[Crest]] throughout the year, was modified.

	Though originally only popular within Astronomy circles, this new calendar began gaining mainstream appeal due to its simplicity compared to moon calendars and perceived superiority as being based in scientific observation.
