Skantos is a medium-sized terrestrial planet and the second planet from Gerin, which is a K-Type Orange-Dwarf situated in the centre of the Skantos System. It is the second largest terrestrial planet in the Skantos System and the only habitable one. The planet is roughly 67% covered in water, which surrounds a collection of 3 relatively cool and arid continents.
Skantos is remarkable due to its sheer concentration of Divine Energy, being the most spiritual planet that is known to exist, being one of the only planets to be classified as a 'Spiritual Planet'. Despite this, actually getting to Skantos to witness its unusual properties is a treacherous journey as Skantos is located in the heart of the "Skantos Maelstrom", a chaotic nebula full of debris and storms which prevents travel to the planet without carefully charting a course through the Skantos Passage which goes through the south-west of the Maelstrom, making navigation via larger vessels impossible. Another side effect of its location within the Skantos Maelstrom is scanners and telescopes generally have a hard time detecting objects within the Maelstrom, including Skantos itself most of the time.
Skantos is currently in a Medieval Era, with some more advanced societies experimenting with some kinds of machinery. Generally though the planet's nations are fairly conservative when it comes to technological improvement.
