Gilead (Canaan II), Terran World, Luddic Church

Canaan II: Gilead

	Crown of the Pilgrim's Path and cherished by the Luddic faithful, Gilead is a paradise rumored to rival that of Old Earth - that which was given to humanity by God; which humanity desecrated; from which humanity was, in sin, exiled to suffer amongst the stars. That such a world could be found again is the promise that humanity may be redeemed.
–In-Game Description

	The face of Gilead smiles at you from clouds of purest silk, cerulean seas, and verdant continents of gentle, rolling wilderness. The Church here reigns like a stern gardener, ensuring that population is well controlled and dutiful in honoring the ground upon which Ludd once walked.

Asher (Canaan III-A), Barren-Desert World, Luddic Church

Canaan III-A: Asher

	Asher is a deathly cold and dry world of penance and labor. The entire heavy industrial base of Gilead was moved here during the Luddic Awakening by the Church, ever practical. Spiritual life in the Persean Sector cannot be shepherded without starships.
–In-Game Description

	Apocalyptic dust storms cloud the cruel sky, turning the sun first blood-red before rendering it a directionless glow which offers neither warmth nor comfort. The need for absolution spills from the mines, is forged in refineries, and then is assembled in orbit. Asher's virtue of industry is yet the Church's secret shame, spoken of only circuitously in sermons given by particularly spiritual curates.
