Erdria is a planet in the binary star system Grian. Although the planet is habitable for humans, the planet has a highly irregular, elliptical orbit that loops around both stars. This causes a highly irregular, nigh-unpredictable seasonal cycle. Because this effectively stalled technological rediscovery following the Blackout, society on Erdria compared to its contemporaries reached no more than a preindustrial level before outside intervention from the Federation of Stellar Systems.
Society on Erdria is split into multiple smaller feudal states. Despite their medieval levels of technology, they also have a class of people known as Tech Sages who help to uncover the secrets of whatever Valerian Empire leftovers they happen to find.
Although they are in contact with the Federation, introducing new technologies is difficult due to the consequence of irreversibly disrupting their natural development. Trade became heavily restricted after one kingdom had wiped itself out using illegal weapons that a group of space pirates had sold them. Other societies on Erdria openly reject any Valerian technology and instead insist on using only what they developed themselves since the Blackout. Therefore, travel by outsiders is strictly limited to certain locations.
Physical characteristics
Erdria is approximately 10% larger than Earth, but is slightly less dense. The planet is relatively temperate on average although its summers and winters can last years at a time.
