The Solar System
Thu, Mar 27th 2025 06:15
Beyond Golarion's skies, the Pact Worlds and other celestial bodies beckon. This category explores the planets, moons, and void between—the domain of interplanetary travel, alien civilizations, and strange, ancient powers. From the scorched wastes of the sun-kissed Verces to the icy reaches of Aucturn, each world harbors its own ecosystems, empires, and enigmas. Here, magic and science blur, and the stars whisper secrets too vast for the groundbound to fathom.
Aballon, The Horse
Thu, Mar 27th 2025 06:15
The closest planet to the sun, Aballon is a scorched and metallic world, its surface dotted with endless ruins and silent machine cities. Once home to the mysterious First Ones, it is now inhabited by ancient robotic caretakers known as the anacites.
Akiton, The Red Planet
Thu, Mar 27th 2025 06:16
Fading and dust-choked, Akiton is a world of decline. Its once-great civilizations crumble beneath red sands, and warlords, scavengers, and mercenaries battle for scraps. Life clings to survival in domed cities and buried ruins, while whispers speak of forgotten magic and long-lost power deep beneath the surface.
Apostae, The Messenger
Thu, Mar 27th 2025 06:17
A black, moon-sized stone that fell from the stars, Apostae is riddled with alien vaults and impossible tunnels that defy understanding. Now ruled by drow and their mercenary houses, the surface teems with intrigue while the vaults below promise power, madness—or both. The planet itself may not be native to this reality.
Aucturn, The Stranger
Thu, Mar 27th 2025 06:17
Aucturn is not merely a world—it is a living, pulsing abomination adrift in the solar system. Twisted by eldritch forces, this planet of oozing flesh and psychic dissonance draws cultists, prophets, and madmen alike. It is said the Stranger sleeps beneath its crust, dreaming apocalypses into being.
Bretheda, The Cradle
Thu, Mar 27th 2025 06:17
A gas giant of wondrous hues and swirling storms, Bretheda is orbited by a rich family of moons—each home to unique societies, ecosystems, and ancient mysteries. Intelligent life drifts in the gas layers, and strange civilizations thrive on the moons below. Bretheda is a nexus of trade, diplomacy, and secrets that span the system.
Castrovel, The Green Planet
Thu, Mar 27th 2025 06:15
Lush, untamed, and verdant with life, Castrovel is a paradise of wild magic and ancient ecosystems. Home to elves, lashunta, and vast xenoflora, the planet pulses with primal energy. But within its jungles and ruins, countless secrets lie dormant—waiting to be awakened.
Eox, The Dead
Thu, Mar 27th 2025 06:16
Once a thriving world, now a shattered, necromantic husk, Eox was ravaged by its own apocalyptic magic. Undead empires now rise from its bone-littered surface, ruled by powerful necromancers and bone sages. Here, death is not the end—it’s a beginning.
Liavara, The Dreamer
Thu, Mar 27th 2025 06:16
This massive, luminous gas giant glows with serene beauty. Dreamers believe Liavara to be a sleeping celestial mind, and her many moons support diverse, often secretive civilizations. Dreams here carry power, and visions may be more than imagination. Time flows strangely near her glow.
The Diaspora
Thu, Mar 27th 2025 06:17
Once a planet, now a shattered ring of asteroids, the Diaspora is home to pirates, exiles, and hidden vaults from a lost age. Its drifting rocks conceal dangerous relics, outlaw enclaves, and treasures from the planet that was. Navigation here is perilous—opportunity and ambush lie behind every drifting stone.
The Sun
Thu, Mar 27th 2025 06:17
More than a star, the Sun is a realm of burning magic and divine presence. Elementals, solar dragons, and flame-wreathed demigods call this inferno home. Though few mortals can survive here, ancient structures orbit and pierce the star’s layers—proof that even the heart of fire holds secrets.
Triaxus, The Wanderer
Thu, Mar 27th 2025 06:16
A planet of dramatic, centuries-long seasons, Triaxus sees empires rise and fall between its glacial winters and blazing summers. Home to humans and dragonkin alike, the world is a battlefield of shifting alliances and grand histories. It’s a land of knights, skyfaring armadas, and draconic legacies.
Verces, The Line
Thu, Mar 27th 2025 06:16
Tidal-locked between eternal night and endless day, Verces is a world of balance. Its habitable region—The Line—is a thin band of civilization wrapped between extremes. Highly advanced and culturally rich, Verces blends technological wonder with mystic tradition, where the edge of light and shadow is always in flux.
