Image of Verces, a tidally locked planet with desert on Fullbright, or light side, and nearly complete cloud cover on Darkside, the frozen side of the planet that never sees sunlight. Around the terminator, lights of cities can be seen.
Title The Line
Location Pact World
Verces is a tidally locked world with a sun-scoured light side, a frozen dark side, and a belt of opulent cybercities linked by high-speed bullet trains. This band of megacities called the Ring of Nations is governed by an elected Grand Assembly; meanwhile, frontier outposts and bandit camps struggle to survive outside city borders.

Regarded by many as the technological hub of the Pact Worlds, the tidally locked world of Verces has a long and storied history in space travel. Verthani aetherships were the first to risk the void between planets, accomplishing a miraculous deed only previously achieved through magic. Today, Verces and its Ring of Nations are an industrial and corporate powerhouse within the Pact System and Near Space, while the regions of Fullbright and Darkside are wastelands best left to foolhardy adventurers and brave explorers, or the bandits and outlaws that roam them.
