Malpais (Malpais)

Malpais is notably disconnected from other spheres of Maquette, as it only borders Lunarimar, which lies to its south.  This is a distinct change, as it used to occupy Lunarimar's current position.  No one is entirely sure of when Lunarimar appeared and pushed Malpais out towards Aerius, as travel to Malpais is done primarily by teleporters and magical gates, due to the danger of traversing the desert.

The sphere of Malpais has the following settings or conditions:

• • Malpais can theoretically be entered by any method, but in practice, no one travels to or from it by any method other than using a teleporter or a magic gate, as traversing the desert and mountains is extremely deadly.
    
  • All levels of technology function within it - from medieval looms to advanced spaceships.  All levels of technology can enter it.
  • All levels of medical care are possible - prosthetics, medical care for organics that can allow the regrowth and attachment of new limbs, artificial prosthetics, typical treatment of illnesses, artificial wombs, etc.
  • Malpais doesn't really have seasons, but it does have an occasional monsoon and desert blooms due to the monsoons.
    
  • There is a day-night cycle, with a moon and a sun.  The night only lasts 5 hours however, while the day lasts 30 hours.
    
  • Decay is possible - if a piece of meat is left out, it will grow rotten.
  • Gravity is reversed from the nearby spheres, and stepping from Lunarimar (or, previously, Anchorage) into Malpais is a disorienting and sometimes deadly experience.
