==History==
The Faulfenza did not evolve on this world, but fled there after the destruction of their last world, [[Quzen]].

==Geography==
The solar system contains an asteroid belt and two small planetoids in farther orbits, both without atmosphere. The fourth planet is a gaseous one, nebulous blue and acid-green striations, and has a blue moon named the Eye of the Iifaul. Not sure how many planets total in the solar system.

Qufiil is a brightly colored, temperate double planet. This is a true double world system and will eventually tear itself apart. It is heavier, warmer, and brighter than Earth with a white star instead of yellow. It has no moon, as Quafiirla (being the smaller of the bodies) would have become its moon had it not fallen into closer orbit. The Preserve's climate is more like Quzen's; Quapendai is brighter and less humid. They share the same fauna and flora, but the specimens on Quapendai are usually smaller and not as brightly colored.

The worlds are tidally locked, and there are frequent earthquakes and seismic disturbances on the facing sides. There's also a permanent aurora between the two, which the Faulfenza claim was Faulza's mark, guiding them to this world from Quzen.

====Flora====
The trunks of common trees on Qufiil are bright reddish-orange and brilliant bluish white with leaves that are bright green or purple. The grass is green with bluish tinges, making it seem lush and well-watered.  Very few things are brown, or gray...the earth itself ranges in color from black to red, usually a burgundy-orange sort of color; the beaches are white, yellow, or dark red and the seas are brilliant blue to bluish-green.  Plants usually sport bright green, blue, or purple leaves, and flowers are bright and of every color.  The sky is blue, like ours, but usually paler.

====Fauna====
The Faulfenza brought many native species from Quzen to Qufiil. Fauna on Quzen were usually large, bristle-toothed, long-haired, dark animals, heavy with muscle.
