How do seasons work? Meadow seems zo live in a jungle, so is there this rainforest type of weather and are there places with different seasons, or is it something else entirely?

I started to answer this earlier but the power flickered at work and I lost the answer! Anyway.Erit is a little weird. Geological records point to a catastrophic event in the planet’s history that should have made it uninhabitable. Its spin still hasn’t recovered, which means its axial tilt is never consistent. While within the habitable zone of its sun, some parts of the planet SHOULD be permanent deserts--either cold or hot--but they aren’t. Because magic. And I know “because magic” seems like a bit of a cop-out answer, but it becomes part of the story and an important corollary to the question “Why are we here?” Life on Erit should not exist, and the gods have a lot to do with preserving the planet and keeping its atmosphere intact. It’s even said that the earth goddess, Ziro, is the only thing keeping the planet spinning. So there are seasons, but because of the planet’s erratic spin, there are no set times for these seasons to take place. Summer one year might be 7 months, and only 3 the next. Some zones have winters that seem to last forever and their temperature never climbs into a comfortable range. Magic also “holds” certain areas in certain seasons. Faun-ir is pretty consistently warm, for example, but that’s because of the extremely high concentration of fauns, which are magical conduits into the world. Other areas are deserts--not because of lack of fertile soil or water, but because a magical event in the past has rendered the land useless.The Fade Desert (also known as The Long Stretch) is one such example. There’s no reason for it to be a desert, but it is.

The ushaan-tor is made of rubber-like (MJF) thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) material. It was primed with Flexbond, under-painted with Rust-Oleum hammer black, glossed with Pledge Floor Care Finish, chromed with Spaz Stix Ultimate Mirror Chrome, and the black handle was painted with Blk 3.0 and then coated with a 50/50 mixture of Flexbond and Pledge Floor Care Finish to make it safer to handle. This ushaan-tor, being made of rubber-like, should be safe at cons. It's not sharp at all.

I made the STL design myself using Inventor, based off various canon designs.

Afterwards, we went to TSAoCAA to sample Earthling cuisine.

Got my ushaan-tor signed by Jeffrey Combs!

Andorian Ale prop

Top row is my recreation; bottom row is the original prop.

Autographed Ushaan-tor shown for scale.

I was unable to find the same bottle type that was shown on ENT. The closest bottle that I could find was a Morey limoncello bottle, which is wider and has a shorter neck than the original. If anyone knows where I can buy a bottle more similar to the original, please tell me.

I used 1/4 in gold tape to the do the striping. As near as I can tell from the auction photos of the bottle, the vertical gold stripe is only on one side of the bottle, but the auction photos make it look like the stripe is on the opposite side from the ENT photos?

Because the bottle I used has a shorter neck, I couldn't fit in two gold stripes below the neck sticker. I suppose I could have made my neck sticker smaller, but I would need to make it much smaller to fit in two stripes. So I went with what I could fit that still seemed to look good. I made the necker sticker on Redbubble.

I had to change the cap on the bottle, and the Morey limoncello cap was glued on rather hard. I think I used the cap from a bottle of Atomik.

To fill it, I used Gatorade G Zero Powder Glacier Freeze and some blue food safe glitter.
