Partold III is one of the planets that rated highest in the hospitability category in a planetary survey. It has a beautiful landscape with a complex climatological system which provides the different seasons, all without extremes. The changing of these seasons always occurs gradually, making it a very agreeable place to settle for almost all species. The central forest is one of mythical proportions. Those who visit it will never forget the calm and quiet impressiveness of the majestic trees that reach towards the sky. Several mountainous areas can provide phenomenons seldom seen. The oceans and rivers are easy to travel, with hardly any storms or tidal influences. The polar-caps slowly melt into these waters without causing serious changes to the average temperature. The view on the outstretched plains is often referred to in many stories, with thick grasses slowly swaying in the gentle breeze.
