=====Exceptional Landmarks===== '''Glacier''' These Landmarks are often found on ice worlds, or near the polar regions of worlds with an abundant supply of water. These huge, frozen mountains are usually formed of ice, although the range of substances that they could contain is greatly expanded on the coldest worlds. Glaciers are only found on Planets with a Climate result of Ice World, or a Habitability result of Trapped Water or higher. '''Inland Sea''' The lakes of some worlds are so big as to stretch the definition of the word, demanding a more appropriate term to describe their expansiveness. Such features are common on worlds with an undivided landmass, although they can potentially be found wherever there is a continent large enough to surround one. Any sufficiently large, land-locked body of water can be an Inland Sea Landmark. Inland Seas are normally only be found on Planets with a Habitability result of Liquid Water, Limited Ecosystem, or Verdant. At the GMβs discretion, a frozen version can be found on Planets with a Habitability result of Trapped Water. The Landmark also represents phenomena like reservoirs of fluid chemicals such as quicksilver, which can be found on a Planet without any water. '''Perpetual Storm''' Unusual atmospheric conditions can result in persistent or even wholly stable weather patterns in a limited area. The affected region might constantly be overshadowed by banks of thunderheads, riven by lightning, or simply blown about in a constantly circulating wind. Such effects are usually dangerous to anyone caught without shelter, although rare benign cases have been discovered. Drive and Pilot Tests to pass through a Perpetual Storm suffer a β20 penalty. Storms with harmful effects such as electrical discharges or corrosive precipitation typically inflict 1d10+3 Energy Damage for every half hour of exposure, although examples exist that are either more or less dangerous. Perpetual Storms are only found on Planets with an Atmosphere result of Moderate or Heavy. '''Reef''' Oceanic reefs are typically too limited in size or spread to qualify as a Landmark, but some worlds house notable exceptions. In some cases, these vast formations are created by thousands of generations of native aquatic life, while others represent eroded tracts of coastline, or even sunken continents. Reefs are often spread out over a wider area than other Landmarks, making up what they lack in height through an impressive amount of coverage. Reefs can only be found on Planets with a Habitability result of Liquid Water, Limited Ecosystem, or Verdant. At the GMβs discretion, the remnants of a Reef can be found on a Planet without water, indicating the presence of ancient oceans on a Planet where they no longer exist. The largest of these extinct reefs provide an additional Navigation bonus, in the same manner as a Mountain. '''Whirlpool''' Certain tidal forces can create a vortex in the oceans of a world that churns and seethes without end. They are usually lethal to any efforts at nautical travel in its vicinity, but even the land is not be wholly safe from its influence. Whirlpools that lie near a shoreline sometimes exacerbate issues with local tectonics, causing tremors or earthquakes, and eventually tearing the entire coast apart. Whirlpools can only be found on Planets with a Habitability result of Liquid Water, Limited Ecosystem, or Verdant. In addition, they are rarely found on Planets without at least two Orbital Features influencing the tides.
