Hal Keone (pronounced: hal kee-oh-nee) literally translates to mean "The World" in the Kius language, and is the name of the planet the Kius people inhabit. It is the second planet in its solar system and it circles a yellow primary that is slightly younger and hotter than our sun.

Hal Keone is slightly larger than Earth but is less dense, so the gravity is somewhat lighter than here.
It's a dry world with only one ocean which takes up about 30% of the planet's surface. Not all the planet is scorching desert however; the South-West Territory contains a rain forest that spans most of that landmass. The Eastern Territories are more temperate and the only "real" desert (with expansive sand dunes and blazing heat) exists in the North-West Territory. There are also dry, barrenous areas in the far northern and southern regions of the planet. ("Territory" is my delineation referring to the four land masses that make up the Kius world. The Kiuses themselves do not name areas of land.)

Hal Keone has a 12 degree axial tilt, so there are seasonal changes.

The planet has three moons. The largest and furthest is called Shuko (pronounced: shoo-ko, meaning "Red Moon"). The middle moon is Nuko (noo-ko, "Blue Moon") and is the quickest in its orbit. The smallest moon is closest to the planet and that one is green Pako (pa-ko, "Green Moon").
Of all three moons, Shuko captures the Kius imagination the most. It is the only of their satellites with active volcanoes and the bright glow of the rivers of lava can be seen even when the moon is turned away from the sun. It is believed to be the home of the gods as well as the furthest step along the Moon Path.

Every one hundred years the three moons eclipse the sun and bring about the Osandoa - an important event for the Grand Chief of the Spider people.
