[ WP ] The Earth does not rotate . One side always faces the sun and is in continual daylight . The other side is in eternal night . Cultures on both side develop around this .

The height of the buildings on the Galaxy Side of the Earth is a weird sort of testament to the people living there. As a Sun Sider, my first trip to the Galaxy Side capital of Erreichen was an experience that I would describe as polar. Just as Erreichen is perfectly opposite to my home city of Fljótandi Himinn so too were the people obviously different from my own. My mother always told me that those who live on the Galaxy Side of the planet are stretched tall from the force of Earth swinging them around the Sun, and their eyes reduced to glowing purple points like the stars that fill those black skies. I always thought her description was made up by my mother to keep me from going there, but it turned out it was completely true, though not for the reasons any of us could have guessed....
