Tors

Tors is the first world of the Chint system. It appears near the end of the fifth book, Overthrow.

Geography
Tors had one major ocean which spanned the lower parts of its southern hemisphere. It also had a major lake at its northern pole. Most of its river networks covered some areas around the southern sea below the equator, and to some extent, around the northern pole. Tors was known for being extremely rocky, especially around the southern sea.

Climate
Tors was a hot and dry planet. Its mildest climate area was around the north pole and some islands in the southern sea, which had a temperate to Mediterranean climates. A great chunk of the planet, where much of its population lived, was semi arid. Because of its great expanse of land, much of the inner lands of Tors, especially around and above the equator, were covered in vast expanses of deserts. Although Tors' forests were mostly confined to the north pole, it had a few small, sparse jungles and tropical wetlands beneath the equator, close to important rivers.

Indigenous people
The natives of Tors are nown as Torsians. They are dark humanoid species. Their skin is described as being textured with small bumps, similar to the texture of rayskin. Torsian architecture varies from place to place, but usually make good use of clay bricks and stone. Torsian art is praised for its mosaics, which makes good use of the planet’s colourful stone. Torsian technology is advance enough for them to have ships. The Torsians are the ones who developed cloaking technology, which is used to make their ships invisible.

The Torsians are mainly characterized by the colour of their eyes. The Torsians generally have blue eyes, some populations of Torsians, especially near the south, have green eyes due to having interbred with the yellow eyed Falasheen in the past

Amongst the Torsian population, there is the Falasheen, although they are not very common anymore.
