Notes (2007)[edit]
The adventure Uragyad'n of the Seven Pillars mentions that there are four planets, details the inner two, and mentions there is one gas giant. However, it does not establish which position the gas giant is in, nor does it say what the remaining planet is. So I decided that the gas giant acted like an outer shepherd for the system and rolled up a rockball for the last slot. The idea that it's a small planet barely up from the asteroids littering the system makes a certain amount of sense to me.
The orbital distances are based on those given in the adventure, using the Bode's Law mechanics of First In to determine the outer two. It is stated that the first planet is at the inner limit of the biozone, and the second at the outer limit, though my more modern book disagrees with that assessment. In fact, the third planet would be at the outer limit of the biozone by First In.
