Glaurun

Glaurun is the second planet orbiting Rican and the only rocky planet in the Ricanor System without an atmosphere. Glaurun's gravity interacts with other objects in space, especially Rican, the other eight planets of the Ricanor System and Glaurun's two natural satellites, Telmun and Glud. Glaurun revolves around Rican in 298 (Morkean) days, a period known as a Glaurunean year. Observations from Morkas suggest that as the rotation of Glaurun is slower than Morkas then, to an observer on Glaurun, a Glaurunean year has only 165 Glaurunean days.

Observations from Morkas seem to indicate that Glaurun has a heavily cratered surface, suggesting a geologically inactive planet. The surface area of Glaurun has been estimated at over 1,515,000 hexes, or approximately 1,363,000,000 sq mi, as the planet is thought to be considerably larger than Morkas.

Glaurun has two natural satellites, Telmun - a small, dusty-orange moon, and Glud - a small, slightly elliptical, rusty-red moon.

Name
The name Glaurun is taken from the pre-Rethist Dragon-Lord of the underworld (Glaurun) and his two winged steeds who pull his gondola (Telmun and Glud).
