Eile, (Other, if translated from Irish Gaelic) is a planet located within the Diagacht System, around 4.4 light years away from Earth. It has two other names, which are Diagacht IV and Ksenovia .
Diagacht is a G-type main sequence star which is around 1.1 solar radiuses, and has a temperature of 5600 K, being somewhat cooler than the Sun. It is a G6V start with considerable deviations, such as the difference of it's Goldilocks zone(1-1.25)and the size of itself, and including reduced solar flares , which allows Eile to host life.
Eile itself is somewhat smaller than Earth, being ~10,100km in diameter. Eile's gravity is 80% of that of Earth, being 0.8 g. Lush, complex, multicellular carbon-based life, using water as a medium, exist on this planet. Most life on this planet is not too dissimilar to Earth in size, with the exception of some organisms. Eile distances about 1.15 AU from it's star, Diagacht , and has an axial tilt of 10 degrees with the North being tilted towards Diagacht, this means that the actual tilt may be 170 degrees ,The average surface temperature of the planet is not too dissimilar to Earth, being 15° Celsius due to a greenhouse effect. It's atmospheric composition is 78% nitrogen and 20% oxygen, as well 2% others, mostly being Carbon Dioxide.

Seasons on Eile still exist but are much less pronounced due to the reduced axial tilt and not much of orbital eccentricity. This doesn't make the planet any less with possessing lush , dense habitats such as rainforests which need rain, instead, huge lakes and volcanoes rather take place in making huge, lush rainforest analogues , supplying them with nutrients and water, known as denseforests. Such huge quantities of water is sourced from high mountains whose ice caps fall into streams of huge water.
Nutrients are sourced from the active volcanoes who are in the Eile volcanic cycle which bring molecules carried by wind, water, and whatever else in order to reach the inward rich lakes and soils to some denseforests due to the wind direction. Though, rain still exists and is vital in supporting the volume of the lakes as well as nourishing the habitat of the Denseforests, as well as transferring molecules into the soil of denseforests.
The Eile volcanic cycle has been going on for hundreds of millions of years, and practically consists of Volcanoes erupting every hundred or do years, this affects "life-periods" on Eile. With colder and hotter temperature fluctuations caused by Volcanoes and the environmental conditions that follows with them as a consequence, "withering" and "flourishing" periods of life of flora, fauna, and funga are heavily connected to volcanic activity periods every few hundred years on Eile.
Eile has two captured asteroid moons, each being ~700 km in diameter. Both have formed in different parts, but close parts of Eile's planetary history. Whilst tidal forces may be weaker, they are more unpredictable on Eile, having irregular tidal patterns. The first one, is named Dochas/Nadyezhda , is 0.7 distances from Eile( 1 in this context means Moon's distance from Earth) and the second, Vera/Muinin is 1.2 distances from Eile.

Mountain Habitats - A self-describing title, it is where ecosystems forms in flat, stable regions of mountain ranges. Organisms in these are specialised to be adapted to high altitudes.
Volcano Habitats - Rich with ancient organisms, these ecosystems around Volcanoes are unique. All active Volcanoes form the Bolcanic Ring-of-Fire.
Temperate plains - A biome mainly found on Tuaisceart and coastline of Notoklerosia, it is rich within a colonial grass-like photosessilids (plant-analogues to Earth) known as plategrass, reason for its name being that it produces a plate structure that further grows photosynthesising grass -like organic structures. Some of these can grow a metre tall. Megafauna and other organisms can grow large here. Many flora other than the colonial plategrass find it hard to grow due to the plategrass, hard plate structure . However, other flora managed to adapt and overcome this difficulty and as a result occasional megaflora, such as Tree- analogues, grow.
T.D.T.L.F - Short for transitional dense temperate- level forest, it is simply a fancy name for a forest habitat continuing after the range of the denseforest. This one of the few Habitats/biomes where there is no plategrass or it's equivalents, mainly, shrublands, light bladeplants and forests tree-analogues inhabit these lands. T.D.T.L.F. can also refer to forests and shrublands on islands and in northern notoklerosia.
Denseforest Temperate - The denseforest native to Tuaisceart, closest analogue to this Biome are the temperate rainforest, or what remains of them in Ireland, although the denseforest on Tuaisceart are far more diverse and rich.
Sub-tropical Denseforest - A collective name for the denseforests of the Southern continents of Eile. The Megalia Denseforest, which is in the continent of Bassnia, is part of this classification, and is the single largest and most diverse area on the planet of Eile.
Sub- tropical plains - Plains of plategrass native to the continent of Notoklerosia. Doesn't differ much from those on Tuaisceart with the exception of motile organisms that occasionally pierce into the plategrass interiors and live underground.
Transitional Steppe-plains - Steppe here refers to completely unforested, without any occasional tree-analogues or any other photosessilids, plategrass here have adapted to a harsher strategy of colonisation , resulting in the infamous border of the Megalia rainforest harshly, and oddly seen from space.
Sub-Tropical Savannah - Savannah in this case refers to a transitional biome between the bassnian steppes or plains and the desert habitats, these biomes feature completely different flora and fauna which convergently perform a savannah biome.
Desert - The desert region is the analogue to the desert habitats found on earth, with extreme variations of temperature between light day and all things which make the desert, along with sparse, extremist flora and fauna.
Post-mountainous Savannah - The 'Savannah ' here is a misnomer , this is a bizzare biomes filled by colonial sponge-like Photosessilid plategrass cousins , which may form reefs of photosynthesising organisms in stark contrast to the grass-like photosessilids which also inhabit these plains. There are many species specialised in these reef-like forested micro habitats along with the more open plain grass-type sub-biomes in the Post-Mountainous Savannah. The "Post" is also a misnomer, as the biome forms before the orieverticalan mountains.
Boreal Steppe - The boreal steppe seems to come in transitions between boreal forest and the steppe-plains, they are not too dissimilar to Earthly steppes, however being a lot colder, and the inclusion of again, strange sponge-like reefbuilding colonial photosessilids which provide micro-habitats for many specialised organisms.
Psevdotaiga - A psevdotaiga is the Taiga analogue biome, they are contrasted with reef-building land photosessilids and forested landscapes, making a bizzare biome being rather unique and analogous at the same time.
Krasnotundra - Similar to Tundras on Earth, they rather interestingly, are dominated by red photosessilids, which seem to have adapted to the cold environments, here , will be seen red bizzare landscape and truly alien organisms adapted to the cold tundras.
Pole Habitats - Whilst similarly enough habitats, these pole caps have increased in size as the planet Eile got older( Eile is about 6 billion years old) , these also feature organisms which inhabit the same niches as Earth organisms do but are completely different.
Habitats and biomes not included in the map:
Cave habitats - Tight cave networks often reside underground, with the gaps of the mountains as their entrances, in which many organisms have adapted to life there, including ancient clades and many unique specialised clades of organisms.
Oceans -Far and wide, many species of the ocean's organisms are found all over the seas repeatedly. The oceans have far more organisms and have the far majority of organisms on Eile, not too dissimilar how most life is in the water on earth.
Lakes and rivers - Each lake and river has organisms unique to them, making them very peculiar and interesting.
Beaches - Transitional zones between land and the ocean.
