Airemidd

Position: Third world from Bel
Type: Icy super-Earth
Moons: Three small satellites
Visibility: Naked eye

Airemidd is a large rocky world beyond the habitable region of the Bel system. Beneath its thick atmosphere lies a frozen surface.

From Aereth, it appears as a bright blue-white point in the night sky.

The world is named for Airemidd, one of the ancient Tuatha Dé Danann remembered for her knowledge of healing and herbs. Her name survives throughout Aereth in healing traditions and among practitioners who follow her example.

Niskai

Position: Fourth world from Bel
Type: Gas giant
Moons: Dozens
Visibility: Naked eye

Niskai is a blue-toned gas giant surrounded by a conventional ring system whose icy particles glitter brilliantly in Bel's light.

The planet takes its name from the Niskai, ancient water spirits associated with springs, rivers, lakes, wells, and other sources of fresh water.

In some cultures, travelers still spill a few drops from a cup or canteen before drinking as a traditional gesture of thanks to the Niskai.

The Asteroid Belt

Beyond Niskai lies a broad and diffuse belt of rocky debris and small planetary bodies.

Most are too small to observe from Aereth without advanced instruments, although several of the largest can be seen through relatively simple telescopes.

Lugh

Position: Fifth world from Bel
Type: Ice giant
Moons: Fourteen
Visibility: Naked eye under favorable conditions

Lugh is a distant ice giant whose atmosphere gives it a reddish-orange appearance from Aereth.

Its slow movement against the background stars can be detected through repeated observation.

The planet is named for Lugh the Many-Skilled, an ancient figure associated with knowledge, craftsmanship, healing, prophecy, and mastery of many arts.

Balor

Position: Sixth world from Bel
Type: Ice giant
Moons: Five
Visibility: Telescope

Balor is the most distant major planet traditionally recognized in the Bel system.

Another cold giant, it appears deeper and darker in color than Lugh and can only be observed with telescopes.

Its name comes from Balor of the Evil Eye, an ancient and fearsome figure of war remembered in old legend.
