Deus Cineris is a frozen carbon world covered in dark graphite plains and carbide ridges. Beneath its surface lies a diamond-rich mantle, while a thin haze of methane and carbon monoxide surrounds the lifeless planet.
Why is this a Carbon World?Your planet's carbon (36.1%) outweighs its oxygen (24.1%), so the mineralogy flips from silicate rock to carbide - a graphite crust over a diamond mantle.
Carbon worlds form in carbon-rich disks where there isn't enough oxygen to bind it all into silicates. Instead carbon condenses directly into graphite, carbides, and - under pressure at depth - diamond. They form water-poor, so no life takes hold.
