Ywain

Ywain is the fifth planet from the sun in the Gododdin system, located between the Sagittarius and Centaurus Arms. A gas giant, it has an inhospitable caustic atmosphere and seas of liquid hydrogen. A number of its many moons are described as more hospitable, however, with some of them even being peopled. The planet itself is green with striations of white and dun, and clouds like fire.

Ywain turned to face the sun above our heads. She was jewel green, with here and there striations of white and dun, like the egg of some enormous bird.
