ReDawn is a gas giant; it has no surface, save for the core at the planet's center.{{book ref|sf2|12}} It takes approximately one human week for the planet to complete its rotation, which the [[UrDail]] call a sun cycle and divide into nine sleep cycles.{{book ref|sf2|11}}{{book ref|sf2|15}} Additionally, UrDail use the term season when speaking of age, likely referring to the planetary year. It's unclear how many sun cycles it's comprised of.{{book ref|sf2|1}}{{wob ref|15102}}
Most of ReDawn's atmosphere is
The trees grow up to fifty kilometres tall.{{book ref|sf2|8}} They have layers of bark, thicker at the base and thinner near the branches, though even far above, the bark can be as much as six feet deep. As the bark is reasonably easy to carve, the UrDail make their homes in chambers cut into it.{{book ref|sf2|1}} As such, most, if not all of ReDawn's inhabitants live on the island trees, using atmospheric generators to travel between them. ReDawn has no naturally-flying fauna, as none would survive venturing out into the miasma.{{book ref|sf2|4}} Nonetheless, UrDail have formed societies on the trees even before the invention of powered flight -- as the islands floated in the atmosphere, they would occassionally collide with each other, allowing fauna and flora to travel between them.{{wob ref|15105}}
