===Geography===
[[File:Bone Norman Planetary Map.png|right|450px|thumb|Planetary Map of Bone-Norman]]
 
 
Bone-Norman is known as a "desolate" and "haunting" world. It is dominated by a single large landmass, Hapsburg, along with a smaller one, Renick, and handful of islands. The geography is dictated by a challenging phenomenon: the exceptionally dense moon causes powerful tidal forces.<ref name="TtS:BNp4"/>

Hapsburg is characterized by a sharp mountain range, the ore-rich Rückens, along the west. Between the mountains and the ocean is a intertidal zone extending for hundreds of meters. The ocean hurls strong winds into the mountains and beyond. The interior is a vast hilly badlands, scoured by wind and eroded into howling channels, rumored to drive men insane. The badlands eventually give way to rolling plains of blue grass and forests of "werewillows"—native trees adapted to the high winds and containing high amounts of heavy metals that interfere with sensors.<ref name="TtS:BNp4"/>

Renick is a much smaller continent with a lower elevation but fertile land. Every five years the entire landmass is submerged by tidal flooding.<ref name="TtS:BNp4"/>
