Exploring the History of the Five Worlds

Islas

IslasIslas is one of the two powerhouses of the FiveWorlds society.  It began life as a wild planet in the habitable zone,  settled by idealists who wanted a communal life.  They designed their society to  enhance education, safety, order, and prosperity.  In the first few decades of settlement, Islas was nearly a perfect place., and it grew in population much more quickly than the other worlds.  Of course, there were only three worlds in that early time; Lopali and Joy Heaven came later.

Over eight billion people call Islas and its orbiting habitats home.

The Islan society was a grand dream, like Camelot out of the oldest legends of Earth.  But centralized power has a habit of corrupting those who hold it.  Islas, like all grand experiments in too much order, became a place with too little freedom.

The first people we meet from Islas are the sworn enemies of Chelo and Joseph, and of Silver’s Home.
