Kovis

Kovis is a cold planet orbiting at the outer edge of its star's habitable zone, but it is kept warm enough to support life by its atmosphere, which contains a high composition of CO2. This is a damp, boggy world, prone to excessive rain and seasonal flooding. A relatively flat surface prevents water from pooling into large oceans and instead keeps the water table high. There are a number of small seas however, which are fed by wide, shallow rivers - a product of the planet's active weather system. There are a number of human settlements on the surface, but the largest population center by far is the city of Blackhill - a major center of trade. It is named this due to a large coal deposit discovered when the settlement was founded. Located at the edge of Dreathian space, Kovis is often considered to be beyond the reach of the law; a number of illicit goods are traded here, including slaves.
