Eben

Eben is a world in Meon Cluster that merges with Kooine. It offers stunning views, with the surface forming multiple colossal terraces descending towards the black lake. The lake, with a size similar to the continent of Europe, is said to reach all the way to the edge of the world-bubble.
Eben has a turquoise sky with a slight iridescence, with no sun or moon gates and no day-night cycle. One interesting feature is multiple waterfalls that fall directly from the sky.
The flora of Eben consists mostly of grasses and small bushes with iridescent dark green leaves. This puzzled some scientists, as the soil is rich and natural conditions are optimal for growth, but it turned out that the topsoil is only a few centimeters thick - below it’s solid rock. The fauna consists of only small insects.
Initially Eben was considered a good place for agriculture as it has good natural conditions and a little harmonization effect, so it would be perfect to provide food for barren Kooine. Unfortunately, most crops require a thicker layer of soil. Some Tarvissian farmers in Vesegeth took to growing aelas: small, spherical plants with gelatinous flesh and leathery skin. Rock aela can be used as food, while red aela (in fact green with a bit of purple near the base) can be used to treat cold fire burns, and blue aela (more turquoise than blue) can be used to treat hot fire burns. Meanwhile, Llodran farmers in Ihsope used one sky-fall to create a large flooded field where they grow puum, a type of edible algae. Both groups also engage with animal husbandry: local plants, while toxic to humans, can be consumed by livestock and give meat a unique taste, which makes it a luxurious product within the Meon Cluster.
Apart from that, a couple of Csivelinian and Tarvissian nobles built their estates in Eben due to the beautiful views and mild natural conditions.
All settlement is limited to the third terrace, where the world merges with Kooine. Some adventurers ventured to the first and reached the edge of the world and a few descended a bit, although they say that on the lower levels, the air pressure becomes noticeably higher. Most people probably wouldn’t be able to survive on the lake level.
