Malohont

Malohont is a fictional celestial body featured in the science fiction novel "Starfall." Within the narrative, Malohont is described as a gas giant located in the outer reaches of the fictional Xylos system. Its atmosphere is characterized by swirling, turbulent storms of methane and ammonia, giving it a deep purple hue. The planet is known for its intense magnetic field, which generates spectacular auroras visible from its neighboring moons.

The Xylos system is home to several sentient species, and Malohont plays a minor role in their cosmology. Some cultures believe the planet is a sacred entity, a guardian of the system's balance. Others view it as a volatile and dangerous place, a harbinger of cosmic upheaval. While no known life forms inhabit Malohont itself due to its extreme conditions, its gravitational influence affects the orbits of other bodies in the Xylos system, including habitable planets and asteroid belts. The exploration of Malohont is a recurring theme for aspiring astronomers and space explorers within the "Starfall" universe.
