Io
Overview
In the final days of the Golden Age the Traveller was in the midst of terraforming Io when it detected the Darkness approaching; The Traveller began to move to Earth in a defensive posture, leaving Io half-completed and flooded with the Traveller's formatted energies. As a result of this, the Ionian climate and geography do not support traditional agriculture, meaning that some remnant of Io's original atmospheric composition prevented the full growth of plants. The moon is still charged with the Traveller's pure energy, which lingers in the atmosphere of the moon, visible from orbit. Echo Mesa, a mountain on Io, has become a popular pilgrimage site for Guardians. The Mesa overlooks a crater where the Traveller left behind a mysterious city-like structure.
The terrain of Io was covered in fossils, many of which closely resemble enlarged versions of ancient Earth organisms such as trilobites, ammonites and dinosaurs. It is unknown whether these fossils were a by-product of the Traveller's paracausal terraforming, or whether they pointed to some unrecorded history of transplantation between Earth and a more habitable Io in the distant past.
One of the legends of the Nine state they are some of the original Awoken transcended to mental form and live inside the Jupiter-Io flux tube.
- Io is a patrol zone.
