The pre-Nochian and Nochian times of Mars, between 4.5 to 3.7 bya, correspond to roughly the Hadean of Earth 🌎 . During the Hadean, oceans formed and the earliest cells started to form from nucleus acids, lipids, and amino acids formed from basic biochemical reactions during what is referred to as the RNA world. . Evidence of flowing water that existed on the surface of Mars is evident in Nochian areas on Mars such as near the ancient Hellas crater. Thus, these areas could be ripe with fossils of primitive life that could have formed on Mars, as well. .

Teleportation Circles of Miri (DnD!)

So, a compilation of the teleportation circles in the continent of Miri (where my player characters are from). I'll add more when they're done.

Starting off with the Chamber Archive Central Academy:

The Chamber Archive is the Mage's Guild of the continent. Almost all of the mages in Miri are members, and their official uniform is light blue and grey, often with gold accents. The Archive has libraries and research centres in every major city, including the Darrowen Spire in Lilymore.

The Central Academy is considered neutral ground, not belonging to any one region despite it technically being located in the Peryton Territory on the Northern Isle. Put simply, this is the Hogwarts of the continent. Subjects include: Nochian, the specific magical language comprised of a variety of symbols (primarily taken from gallifreyan circle writing and norse runes), as well as classes for each of the schools of magic and various other more niche classes.

It teaches wizards and bards primarily, but occasionally a sorcerer or ranger or other magic user finds their way there. As part of their training, each young mage is sent out to the schools and academies and to small towns and villages to teach the common folk basic magic, cantrips like mage hand and pocket rift (bag of holding but a cantrip, it's very cool), which take anywhere between 1-8 hours each to learn, being widely known across the continent.
