Beginning idea: Somewhere in outer space, two tears in space occur simultaeously; like black holes. But instead of vaccum or some such void, there are two opposite forces. Positive and Negative. Not like a magnet but like the energy from the planes of existance themselves. Over billions of years the opposite energies collect a mass amount of space debri. With the inadverdent help of those energies and eventual lack of space the debri form a planet roughly the shape of a fat egg.
Bad place to happen: This planet has a small problem. This egg-like planet decided it was going to form on the edge of the orbit of a small planet. So every year (for this is how Energians tell if it has been a year) the obiting planet, much more small than the egg-shaped planet, collides with Energis. It cuts deep into the planet creating a legendary chasm of gigatic proportions. Consider the size difference of planets to be Jupiter (Energis)/Mercury or Pluto(obiting planet).
Where do they get light? From the neighboring solar system that the obiting planet comes from. [haven't decided this yet] 1) The planet doesn't rotate. This means it is always day or night depending on where you are on the planet. 2) Due to the imperfect balance of positive vs negative (negative being dominent) rotation of the planet occurs.
More later. Feel free to post ideas.

I think I want magic in Energis to have a Dark Sun kind of feel where, instead of mages feeding off of the earth, the magic users feed off of the positive and/or negative energy. Wizards have learned to manipulate this energy through intense research. Sorcerers have been fused somehow with one of the two energies with the rare occurances of a positive-negative mix. I would like there to be consequenses that the arcanists have to face depending on which energy force they draw their power from. Bards would be in a slot all in its own. I like the idea of using the ideas of Monte Cook's revised bard in Book of Eldritch Might II.
