Zeelich

Zeelich is a fictional planet featured in the game "Little Big Adventure 2". It is a small planet belonging to the same system, or galaxy, as Twinsun. [KENNETH LI, “ [http://www.nydailynews.com/archives/money/1997/07/27/1997-07-27_twinsen_s_many_faces.html TWINSEN'S MANY FACES] ,” "Daily News" (July 27th 1997).]

The actual planet is apartised by islands and spires emerging from a sea of lava. Above this level, is a layer of gas, from which emerge other 'islands' being in reality the tops of the spires and mountains.

Their currency is the Zlito, and the source of their energy is a fuel known as gazogem.

History

According to the legend, Zeelich was formed during the cataclysm Oogh, by the planets Zeer (sun) and Lich (cold). The gods sent to the 4 species the youngest son of light, Kard N'kom, who was later known as Dark Monk. Because of many wars between the species, the gods hurled the planet to the first sun of the Novae system, consisting it thus inhospitable.

The Dark Monk then let monsters roaming the gas, and created the Celebration Island from the volcano of which emerged his statue. He broke his key in 4 and gave the parts to the species, prophesying that on the 10000th celebration on the island, the key would be united and Zeelich will be again the paradise once was.

Being more advanced in technology, Zeelich received tourists from other planets, and made the first contact with Twinsun. Zeelichians were ruled by a Sup Emperor.

Geography

urface

*Otringal: Being the home island of the Sups, this is the capital of the planet, island of the Emperor and the high class. Otringal has 3 levels: The lower contains the training grounds, prison and the astroport - the middle level is the 'downtown' with a casino and shops. The upper is where the Palace is found with the Imperial hotel. There is also a harbour, connected to the middle level, which is home to the infamous Rick's Cafe.
*Island of Francos: This is the home island of the Francos. The most prominent location here is Gazogem refinery. This is also the only known place having access to the Elevator, since this is how the gems from the undergas are gathered to the refinery.
*Elevator to Undergas: This is the top of the elevator that goes below the gas to the Island of Wannies. The gems harvested by the Wannies ascend to the surface and from there go to the refinery on the Island of Francos.
*Island CX: A little island with the controls of the Lunar generator, and is the summit of the Island of Mosquibees. This island is a heavily guarded fortress, from which only one person have been known to come back alive (however severely wounded).
*Celebration Island: A volcanic island created by and dedicated to the Dark Monk. It is the summit of the Volcano Island. According to the legend the basaltic statue of the Dark Monk will emerge from the volcano holding a book of the 10,000 divine names. In each celebration, a lightning would engrave one more and on the 10,000th, the Key would be united.

Undergas

*Island of Wannies: The lower part of the Elevator. While it is the home island of the Wannies, the island is run by the Building Company which controls the gem mines. Gems reach the Gazogem refinery of the Island of Francos through the elevator.
*Island of Mosquibees: The lower part of Island CX. Its cliffs contain the dwelling hive of the Mosquibees. The island was eventually conquered by the Imperial Forces to claim the mosquibee fragment.
*Volcano Island: The lower part of Celebration Island. It's the secret refuge of the Mosquibees in case of danger.

pecies

Like Twinsun, Zeelich gives life to 4 major species:

*Sups: Humanoids with large triangular heads, and are the political and scholarly elite of the planet. The Emperor of the planet is a Sup. They are predominantly located on Otringal.
*Wannies: Mole-like creatures that live on the Island of Wannies. They work in the gem mines.
*Francos: Sausage-like creatures that live on the Island of Francos. Most police officials and the military forces are Francos.
*Mosquibees: Insectoids who never believed in the Emperor. For this reason, many were persecuted. They live on the Island Of The Mosquibees, in a hive cut into the mountain.

Zeelich also received many tourists and immigrants from other planets. The more common are:

Gloums: crocodile-like creatures located mainly in Otringal - most of which are working at the casino with some of them at Rick's Café. They are usually enemies of the player.

The fauna includes Duams, Lemuzards, Fishbulls and Schmoutz, as well as the floating gas monsters.
