Type: Air Body

Overview

The sixth planet is 10.6 AU (986 million miles) from Saruthillion. It is an air body and has 3 moons, Barakigil, Calabrant, and Ologorn.

Hazards

Like Baraduithin, Maranuir is deadly cold and just plain deadly. -275 degrees below 0, and almost pure hydrogen, with helium as a chaser.

The pressure at the center of the planet is almost 2,000 atmospheres! Gravity is 2.25 times normal. Any vessel entering the atmosphere will slowly gain a serious percentage of hydrogen, after 3 turns the atmosphere approximates that of the phlogiston. Any open flame has a chance to ignite the hydrogen, instantly destroying the vessel in a massive fireball.

As if that wasn't bad enough, treat the time spent in the atmosphere as spending time in an ice-storm. Rigging and decking will quickly gain a coating of ice, the temperature on board will plummet to well-below 0--and remain there long after the ship pulls free!

Major Products

Military forces take advantage of the explosive nature of Maranuir's atmosphere to fill special ballista bolt warheads for Stingrays and other war craft, however such work is extremely dangerous, requiring specialized spelljammers to harvest the atmosphere.

Magic Use

No known magic can protect a user from the effects deeper in the atmosphere than a spelljammer could escape from.
