Land of Dawn and Olives

"Above our dwellings are forests of olive trees and empty plateaus. Afraid of the darkness in these basins, we Hoped for a powerful light to illuminate our land. Abraxas answered with the bright morning-light that pervades the air around us. Before, we were afraid of those harmless shadows, but in broad daylight the all-too-real Underlings are a true threat."

The [Land of Dawn and Olives] (abbreviated as LODAO) is Elle Browning's Land in the Medium. She got there through her first gate.

Elle's house is located in the middle of a marble temple, which is surrounded by carved columns issuing fire from their tops. LODAO is inhabited by turtles and doves, and its Denizen is Abraxas [The Impossible].

Terrain
The majority of the planet's surface is covered in deep valleys and rugged cliffs. The surface is composed of sand, dust, redstone, and many kinds of brownish-gold stone. Greco-Roman architecture composed of marble and other high-quality crafting material can be found all around the planet. Olive trees are ubiquitous in the higher plateaus and some buildings.

The valleys of LODAO are often home to shallow ponds of water. Typically, a marble structure called a Mechanism [Acclaim Acropolis] will be found in the valley as well. Worship at the Acclaim Acropoli powers the spirit of Hope, known as the Chant. The Chant performs miraculous tasks which have earned the respect and faith of the turtles. Nomadic tribes of turtles will settle around these ponds, to drink and worship at the Acropoli. Turtles thrive off of a combination of olives, vines, and water. A few non-nomadic villages of turtles have settled down in the largest Acropoli, and a "mystic" tribe of turtles has settled by the Denizen Palace, a mountain peak which stretches up until it is obscured by the only clouds on the planet. They act as a 'last opportunity' for any adventurous player to use their consorts' services one last time.

It is dangerous to travel across the shelves of stone above the valleys of LODAO. The individual stones often fall of their own accord, and any traveler can easily be spotted by packs of Underlings hiding in the trees. The few temples and buildings above the valleys are decrepit and often occupied by hordes of Underlings. Each of these temples houses a portal to the Underworld, marking each one as an optional dungeon.
