Zaitian

Zaitian is a fictional celestial body featured in the tabletop role-playing game Pathfinder. It is depicted as a rogue planet, meaning it does not orbit a star and instead drifts through interstellar space. Zaitian is known for its extreme cold and perpetual darkness, punctuated only by its own faint internal luminescence and the occasional passage of distant stars.

The planet's surface is largely barren and covered in thick ice formations and frozen dust. Despite its inhospitable nature, life has adapted to survive in Zaitian's harsh environment. These creatures are often bioluminescent, relying on internal light sources for communication and hunting in the absolute darkness. Some are believed to harness geothermal energy from the planet's core, creating pockets of relative warmth in the otherwise frozen landscape.

Zaitian is often a destination for adventurers seeking rare resources, lost technologies, or unique biological specimens. Its isolation and extreme conditions make it a perilous location, attracting those who are both desperate and daring. Legends surrounding Zaitian speak of ancient civilizations that once thrived on its surface before succumbing to the encroaching cold or some unknown catastrophe. Encounters with the planet are rare, making it a place of mystery and wonder within the Pathfinder cosmology.
