The Surface is the only known land within the iteration 265404. Its shape is highly debated with the prevailing theories being either a normal planet or a concave surface. The Surface is the homeland of both the Llokin and the Chevrin. It is where a majority of Doughbyte takes place.

The Shape of The Surface

The shape of The Surface is still indeterminate. There are two main theories, a concave surface of indeterminate size or a planet. The confusion stems from the descriptions of The Caldera as being concave and the Focus demonstrating unnatural characteristics such as proximity or lack of orbit. Occam's razor is also frequently brought up in discussions of the shape in support of the simple planet theory.

The Surface is split into two parts, The Caldera and The Cragweld. The Caldera sits beneath the Focus and is defined as a circle by The Terminator. Surrounding The Caldera is The Cragweld which extends an unknown distance.

Information on the Surface, especially its shape, is vague and unreliable.

The Caldera

Vette stands with The Ball in Vettewoods

The Caldera sits at the center of The Surface and directly surrounds the Focus. The outer boundary of The Caldera is The Terminator where The Cragweld begins. It is thought to be a crater or a natural indent in the surface as is it often referred to as being concave.

Geography

The Caldera is a diverse landscape featuring deserts, forests, and canyons. The Caldera on average has a temperature of 40 Celsius. The Caldera also has substantial oceans, fed by the three main rivers.

Inhabitants

The Caldera is the natural home of the Llokin.

The Cragweld

The Cragweld surrounds The Caldera and extends out an unknown distance. Due to lying beyond the Terminator the Focus is faint and hard to see, this is either from land obstruction or normal light fall off.

Geography

Inner Cragweld is characterized by tall trees and grasslands slowly giving way to the glaciers of the Outer Cragweld. Outer Cragweld is completely devoid of all plant life and is entirely composed of ice and snow. The Outer Cragweld glaciers are the source of the rivers which feed The Caldera's oceans.

Inhabitants

Inner Cragweld is the home of the Chevrin. Outer Cragweld is the home of the glacierdwellers, a race of Chevrin. The Cragweld is also the habitat of the only known non-sentient living creature, the Arbeast.

Trivia

• The Concave Surface Theory of the shape is often jokingly referred to as "The Toilet Bowl Theory"
