YORAO
Yorao is third rock in the Velas Sirius system. Yorao orbits with its two moons,
Norako and Cephor. The dark blue skin of the planet holds very low organic life giving
the superficial world the look of a strange blue dreamscape. Scattered throughout
the land are deep caves which intertwine to create large caverns. This yields the
planet inhabitable due to its massive sinkholes. The mountains and spires of the
mountain ranges gives the blue continent its name. Yorao's surface is milled with
blue dusts which act as deep reflective surfaces. The elements of the sky reflect
the blue hue giving the sky a bright appearance that illuminates the blue planet
below. The rising and setting of the sun from Yorao is quite frequent, due to its
incredibly fast rotations, on average the sun sets and rises sometimes up to 20 times
a day making the sky a blur of bright blue colors. This show of blues and yellows
makes for a tear dropping sunset.
Yaraos massive size makes it a super planet. The atmosphere is consistently being
bombarded by blue particles. In combination with the screaming winds it makes Yorao
have an appearance that the clouds are a floating wave of liquids. Some of the topography
itself is quite surreal. Some mountains are smooth slabs of rock other are blue lava
flows that lead to a bottomless ocean. The setting sun casts a blue shadow on the
cliffs, for many the view here will be one of the most memorable. The otherworldly
presence of this planet and all of its moons are bolstered by the visage of Yorao's
magnificent floating clouds. Some clouds are almost transparent. The tall thunderclouds
that peak into the atmosphere emit a white light almost akin to the sun itself. The
sky here plays tricks with the viewer, but it's just what makes the planet so unique.
Yorao's moons are mostly forgotten. Norako and Cephor are blue moons and many deem
them as no more than large blue craters with their surroundings. This is most likely
due to the low density of the moons and their relative lack of gravity compared to
their host planet. Even stranger is the two moons revolving around each other at
the same time, one side of the moon always facing outwards towards the planet. The
other side of the moon always facing its partner. This strange phenomenon is a constant
reminder that our sun, the very source of our life, once revolved around its own
planet. Now it is thought that the stars we see are the remnants of this solar system
and that other stars from its former days are circling other nearby suns. With this
thought it becomes clear that Yorao is more than a beautiful planet, it's a foreboding
orb of light and knowledge.
