In the skies of Zaltys, the sun never rises alone: it’s greeted by the flight of the Gilded Weavers.
Beyond the reach of our furthest telescopes lies Zaltys, a world existing in a system untouched by human observation. Here, the atmosphere is a shifting tapestry of lavender and gold, illuminated by a sun that never rises alone.

The planet is home to an ancient, silicon-based biology. Unlike the carbon-based life we know, the inhabitants of Zaltys are shimmering, metallic entities—the Gilded Weavers. Appearing as fluid ribbons of living gold and silver, they navigate the thermal currents of the upper atmosphere, their bodies reflecting the first light of a distant dawn.

This piece captures a moment of celestial harmony on a world where biology and mineralogy meet. It is a glimpse into a silent, shimmering ecosystem that thrives in the cold beauty of the deep cosmos, forever hidden from our own galaxy’s eyes.
