Sodeldurad

Sodeldurad, or "Shieldbeard" in common, is one of the friendlier Dwarven worlds one can visit. Nowadays the main industries are brewing and the manufacture of commemorative stone mugs. If for some reason you decide to take a wander across the planet's surface, do make sure to bring protective breathing equipment and plenty to drink, and be careful where you step. Every year we hear of some unfortunate tourist triggering an ancient undocumented magma trap.

Geography

Sodeldurad is a barren planet, with a thick, smog choked atmosphere, metallic polluted seas and volcanic glass sand deserts criss-crossed with ancient lava flows. Here and there, Spaceport runways can be seen carved into the old flows, and the occasional abandoned missile silo can be seen where the basalt roofs have fallen in.

Fauna & Flora

The planet surface is barren, though a variety of subterranean life inhabits the extensive cavern networks, most of which is exploited by the remaining population.

Natural Resources

The planet has no mineral resources left to exploit, everything has long since been exhausted.
