12th planet from Arventhor. Lies between the orbits of Llyrioth and Durranaeas.
Orrias, otherwise known as Antarius XII, is a planet smaller than Aureth and lies far from the Arventhor-Tellithor binary system. It is the second-to-last planet of the system, with the last being Durranaeas. The planet’s core is dead, resulting in an extremely weak magnetosphere, creating auroras all over the planet. The planet also has a low mass due to there being a small amount of metals and heavy materials. This also explains the low gravity. The planet holds faint, icy rings, which, in the past were much larger. Most of the material has then fallen, allowing for a band of crater impacts from the fallen material. Orarías is also known for its rough terrain, ranging from mountains, crevices, plateaus, mesas, dunes, and many more. Its strikingly red color comes from the iron oxides present on the surface, along with there being large ice caps with a generally smooth terrain. Due to there being a multitude of ravines, canyons, and lowlands in general, the planet is speculated if it possessed surface liquids. Some areas and regions of the planet look as if they were once large bodies of liquids. However, due to the aforementioned low density, mass, and heavy metals, it seems unlikely that it was to form in the inner system. Large cloud clouds form over Orrias' surface, with there being 2, very large storm systems on 2 opposite sides of the planet. One system spins clockwise, and the other counterclockwise.

Creator Remarks: 
"I like this planet a lot. Although it doesn't look very good from scaled space, it is something. Now, there's not much to say in general. I focused a lot on the terrain, as you can see. The clouds were going to have much more detail, but considering that I also wanted the planet to have a relatively thinner atmosphere, I scrapped that idea and made them with 'marginal' detail. Now that I look back, it is pretty much done, as in, I see nothing new to add. Maybe revamp a few aspects such as the rings, but aside from that, it's pretty much complete."

    GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT


    I apologize for delaying this for so long, school has been throwing everything at me, and I either don't have enough time for planet-making or simply want to do other things. This may look like a burnout, but I have exams coming up these next few weeks. However, do expect more soon.
    ..........
    Now, regarding the info, I did not want to fully write out the lore, as the only thing I had in mind was the planet. No lore was ever thought of until the moment I posted it. As I post more things, along with its system, do expect an update lore. Now, thanks for stopping by!
