Alentavân

Alentavân is a fictional celestial body appearing in the works of author Elara Vance. It is primarily known as the homeworld of the Valerians, a sentient species with a deep connection to the planet's unique ecosystem. Alentavân is often described as a world of perpetual twilight, its atmosphere filtering the light of its twin suns into a soft, ethereal glow. This dim illumination influences the flora and fauna, leading to bioluminescent plant life and creatures adapted to low-light conditions.

The Valerians have a symbiotic relationship with Alentavân. Their physiology and culture are intrinsically linked to the planet's natural rhythms and energies, which they refer to as the "Aetherflow." This Aetherflow is believed to be a subtle, pervasive energy that sustains all life on Alentavân and is harnessed by the Valerians for various purposes, including communication, healing, and limited forms of environmental manipulation. The planet's surface is characterized by vast crystalline forests, echoing caverns, and shimmering, mineral-rich rivers. Alentavân's geological composition is unusual, featuring large deposits of resonant crystals that are said to amplify the Aetherflow. The Valerian society is generally depicted as peaceful and contemplative, focused on maintaining balance with their environment.
