Moxater Planetary Document

All planets in some way, shape, or form are sentient. However, the planet Moxater in particularly is exceedingly chatty to the point where one can notice the difference between itself and the other planets.

  In its history, Moxater and its two sister planets, Zorria, and Ludior, were three planets which cycled around one another, giving host to a rise of human empires who had came together, and entered into an age of enlightenment shared between all three after a hard earned history of warfare. The Library of the Ascended is what it began to be called, a space station that began to house the races from all three planets, and dedicated themselves to peace, creating a new race, called the Xonnites.   However, when they forsook their planets, the planets underwent an awakening which caused the planets to argue with one another to attempt to beckon their races back to their surfaces, promising riches, splendor, through psionic messages that eventually needed to be blocked out by Psionic deterriments pylons. The planets warred with one another, mountains ripping from the surface and flinging onto others until Moxater crashed itself into its two siblings, reformed itself, and then yanked the civilization of enlightened and peaceful people back onto its surface.   It is a stable enviroment, however the people wish to see the stars, and like a protective parent, the planet refuses easy travel unto or off of the planet now, with serious cloud level storms, natural disasters and more.   Out of necessity, the Moxxites are principally a scholar culture. Children are brought up to be tough and self-reliant; weakness is frowned upon as their intelligences are considered higher than average races. While personal affection is permissible, it apparently must not be shown in general public, or at least to strangers. Table manners are based on an "all-you-can-get" principle, which to other sentients would be the equivalent of "pigging out". Strangely, tickling is an accepted method of welcoming Moxxites to anothers home, as laughter is seen as the greatest reward in the culture.   Marriages among the citizens are arranged exclusively based upon love between individuals, and currency is virtually eliminated from the planet, in favor of donations, sharing, and a focus on growing. Friendship is considered very important as well, there even being several holidays like the festival of friendship. They even have a term for the weakening of bonds and drifting apart of friends, 'Ohlon', which is grieved about similar to how a death in ones family would.   There has been a push in recent history an an attempt to have Moxater, their sentient homeplanet, allow them to leave once again, but the planet has refused all ideas of that, and has even been so bold as to reroute leylines and world trees to throw divine travelers directly into the deep sea.
