Atriana is an organic world. At some level everything is alive. All creatures and species are indigenous to Atriana. Sentient species have derived several organic technologies from the environment. Many are still not understood. Although Atriana's environment varies from desert to ice plains to swamp, it is all subject to the extreme conditions brought by the three moons. Mantar, moon of fury, summons the harsh winds. Gentar, moon of frost, summons the icy cold fronts. Devar, moon of fire, summons the scorching fires. Each cycle the Torpor Storm blankets Atriana and puts all of its inhabitants into a period of hibernation and rejuvenation. The Torpor Storm never fully disappears; it merely moves.
