Velnoras

Velnoras is a fictional planet within the Lumina system, located in the Andromeda galaxy. Its surface is characterized by vast, shimmering plains of crystalline flora and dense, bioluminescent forests. The atmosphere is rich in oxygen and nitrogen, with trace amounts of argon, making it breathable for many known life forms. Two moons, Lumina Minor and Lumina Major, orbit Velnoras, influencing its tidal patterns and nocturnal illumination.

The planet experiences a temperate climate with distinct seasons, marked by significant shifts in atmospheric color and precipitation. The dominant geological features include towering, obsidian mountains and extensive underground cave systems. These caves are known to house unique mineral deposits and geothermal vents that support specialized ecosystems.

Life on Velnoras is diverse, ranging from small, insectoid creatures that feed on the crystalline plants to larger, quadrupedal herbivores that graze on the bioluminescent mosses. Apex predators are rare and are typically found in the deeper forests or mountain regions. Sentient life on Velnoras, the Velnor, are a silicon-based species with a complex social structure. They are known for their advanced understanding of crystallography and their ability to manipulate light. Their civilization is primarily subterranean, with settlements built within the natural cave systems.
