Zobur

Zobur is the third planet orbiting Rican and the largest of the five rocky planets. Zobur's gravity interacts with other objects in space, especially Rican, the other eight planets of the Ricanor System and Zobur's four natural satellites, Ju, Darda, Uss and Gorgg. Zobur revolves around Rican in about 454 (Morkean) days, a period known as a Zoburean year. Observations from Morkas suggest that as the rotation of Zobur is slower than Morkas then, to an observer on Zobur, a Zoburean year has 345 Zoburean days.

Observations from Morkas seem to indicate that Zobur has a volatile, gaseous-orange atmosphere streaked through with purple and blue storms. The surface area of Zobur has been estimated at over 1,800,000 hexes, approximately 1,620,000,000 sq mi, as the planet is thought to be even larger than Glaurun.

Zobur has four natural satellites, Ju - a tiny, black, heavily cratered moon, Darda - the largest, rusty-red moon - Uss - a small, yellow dusty moon, and Gorgg - the smallest, rose-hued moon with strange "channels" crossing its surface.

Name
The name Zobur is taken from the pre-Rethist fertility Goddess' husband (Zobur). While the moons are named after his wife, the fertility Goddess (Darda), and three mythological mistresses (Ju, Uss and Gorgg (the later who was disfigured by dragon-fire)).
