Anud is a hot, roughly earth-sized planet with a single moon. Its surface displays several odd characteristics, the most notable one is its coloration. Its surface also has large, interconnected ridgelines cutting it into a few distinct pieces. This is most likely the result of intense geological activity, potentially similar to plate tectonics.
Especially visible on its night side is a collection of lakes of molten rock, mostly found within the ridgelines. These are formed through volcanic activity, however, not as a result of its high surface temperature, as on Zhara.

Inspired by a planet I found in Elite: Dangerous, its reverse Duna! Probably already figured that out if you read its name backwards. Instead of a light and cold planet with low gravity, barely any atmosphere and no liquid on its surface, you have a heavy and hot planet with high gravity, a chockingly thick atmosphere and seas of liquid rock. I even swapped the colors of the equator and poles!
All in all, I’m very happy with this one. Its very aesthetically pleasing.
