Veldan

Veldan is a planet in the same solar system as Valnaria. It is the planet closest to the Sun. Veldan is also the Dormondian god of morning and sunrise.

Planet
Veldan is the planet closest to the Sun; it is about one third the size of Valnaria. Veldan is visible near the eastern horizon in the early morning hours before sunrise. This is why Veldan is also called the Dawn Herald.

Veldan is an extremely hot planet with no water, the surface is comprised entirely of baked rock.

Veldan does not have any moons.

Deity
Veldan is the Dormondian god of mornings and sunrise. He is known as the Dawn Herald due to the fact that, when Veldan appears, sunrise is only a few hours away. Veldan is the messenger of the god Frothar.

Veldan's symbol is the sun rising above the horizon.

Veldan is usually depicted as a young Dormondian man with long-blond hair and bright-blue eyes. He is always described as being clean-shaven. Veldan is not particularly strong but is extremely fast.

The Dormondian religion requires that Veldan be greeted in the morning with thanks and praise; large churches will usually have priests dedicated to the task.
