On this New Pangaea, there were no barriers, no lakes or mountain ranges. Nowadays it didn’t matter where you went, from pole to equator, from east to west. Everywhere was the same. And there was dust everywhere. Even the air was full of red dust, suspended there by the habitual sandstorms, making the sky a butterscotch-coloured dome. It was more like Mars than Earth.

Krayt's Mom: Krayt, listen to reason. The elders all say it's just a never-ending ocean of desert out there.

The Sea of Leaves is the name people have given to the vast forest that now covers the land. As far as anyone knows, the forest covers everything, from countryside, farmland and roads, to villages, town and cities. Some drifters say they’ve glimpsed mountains that are not covered by the trees and still show bare rock, but no one knows if that's true. The green canopy covers the world, and if you get up high enough in the right places, you can see that the sea of green stretches from horizon to horizon.

Lemmy: Oh! We need to bring this to Bowser Canibe, who's this one weird guy who lives in the desert.
Mario: This planet is all desert!
Lemmy: Oh, I mean the part that's more desert than this is desert.
Mario: This can be more desert?!
Space Battles by Lord Seth

"Ugh... Everything looks the goddamn same on this goddamn planet!"
