Aln is the name of the star and the solar system that Arthos is a part of, and contains 6 planets known to Arthonean astronomers.

Star

Aln is a white dwarf star that around it's edges gives off a blue color, and when refracting off the atmosphere during sunset makes the sky a pink and purple color as opposed to red and orange with a yellow dwarf. The sun appears particularly small from Arthos due to it's higher temperature, also attributing to more common solar eclipses as it's easier for the moons Lusin or Livone to cover the whole sun.

Planets

Gian

A partial anagram Geiana, the Parathist goddess of decay and restoration. The closest planet known to the sun Aln, and observed as a rock planet with a boiling surface of lava and magma. Some believe this is where the demons ethereal beings rest before coming to Arthos to cause chaos and committ evil deeds.

Arthos

The planet itself that you know and reside on, named after the old god Arthon who is mostly shrouded in mystery except for some scriptures claiming that the Finmaens worshiped or believed in this name as either a leader or a deity. It has an estimated circumference of 15,000km which is 10,000km less than earth. Arthos also has a small ring of asteroids caused from the Arthonean Cleansing, to date is the biggest natural disaster to ever hit Arthos. The planet experiences meteor showers constantly but since the the Source landed on Arthos, the meteors rarely get through the atmosphere, and those that do usually are composed of rare metal or crystal.

Ronus

A partial anagram for Chryonus the Parathist god of wealth and poverty. The planet is predicted to be the closest celestial body to Arthos that is not Lusin and Livone. When the Arthos passes Ronus due to it's faster orbit around Aln, astronomers hastily gather as much data as they can before one of the moons obscures the view of the planet, or it starts to exits a range that astronomers can't examine the surface from. Some philosophers suggest that Ronus could potentially have life on it like Arthos, but many find that to be a pointless and fantastical prediction.

Thia

Partial anagram of Tychia the Parathist god of luck and misfortune, originating from the fact that the planet was found by mistake while Astronomers were looking to examine Rine with a new telescope made from Ignite crystals from the desert. There has been much debate as to whether or not the planet may be suitable for life. This type of discussion has been a large part of philosopher studies ever since the Arthonean cleansing, people have been discussing ideas of leaving Arthos or ways to escape it if another calamity like the cleansing where to happen again. Ultimately Thia is one such planet that some presume to be a candidate for such environments.

Rine

Partial anagram of Rinemos the Parathist god of peace and conquest, predicted to be the largest planet in the system, a gas giant that almost matches the size of the star Aln itself. Not much is known about this planet besides that it's very big, much farther away than Thia, but also much larger than any other planet in the system and that it's home to a massive set of rings, similar to saturn.

= Mori

Partial anagram of Mopori the Parathist goddess of pain and pleasure, an icy rock planet on the edge of the system, relatively large, at least enough to see from a telescope for astronomers to notice.
