It has been 2 million years since the last time humans or any sophont species has touched this world. From space it's evident that time has not diminished life on this planet and it has continued to flourish. Dark green forested areas sparkle with the rivers and lakes that quench them. They gradually transition into lighter green and yellow areas - grasslands, shrublands and open woodlands. Life reaches as far as it can into the arid climate zones. In equatorial areas where it's still too hot for most life yet, the mountains act as islands of forest, shrouded in cloud that accumulates around them. In the lowlands sands turn red from exposure.

In the seas and lakes teal and pink algal blooms swirl, fed by nutrients washed into the sea from the land and by cycling of the ocean currents. They feed great shoals of fish, which in turn feed enormous squid. So many of these species achieve such great numbers they can cast significant shade beneath them, changing the ecology and behaviour of other life where they congregate.

The Arc Ocean hurricanes remain a prominent visual feature. Dark green peeks through breaks in the clouds occasionally from land between the mountains and coast hardest hit by the storms. The storms have not been enough to keep life away, but the steeply inclined land is scarred with landslides, recent and exposed wounds as well as those old hidden and overgrown. Life here deals with frequent and seemingly random chaos.

In spite of initial setbacks caused by the climate re-settling after the purge, this biosphere has only grown more stable and robust with time.
