Phoenix Logs/The Ark/Halo Refugia


 * This Refugia is at once familiar and otherworldly. Many areas resemble the lands
 * of Earth; lush, verdant landscapes, tranquil sandy beaches where waves lap
 * gently at the shore and stunning waterfalls plunge endlessly over high cliffs.


 * There is mountainous moorland, jagged rocky slopes and outcroppings covered
 * in a light shrub. But the immense scale of the environment imposes itself,
 * dwarfing each of its Earthly equivalents. The chasms are deeper and darker, the
 * mountains higher and even the sea and sky seem a richer blue than Earth's
 * atmosphere.


 * As ominous reminders colossal Forerunner bridges bisect the terrain and
 * gigantic unknown structures dominate the skyline. Their purposes unknown but
 * their very silence and mystery resonating with power.
