Anadia

Anadia was the first planet from the Sun in Realmspace. Seen from Toril, it looked like a small amber-colored orb with green poles which never appeared too far from the Sun. Anadia and Coliar, the two inner planets of the Torilian solar system, were known as the Dawn Heralds.

Geography
Due to its proximity to the Sun, most of Anadia's surface was too hot and dry to support humanoid life. The equatorial regions were marked by enormous canyons which were inhabited mainly by umber hulks and other bestial life forms unique to the planet.

The north and south polar regions, however, supported a warm and humid climate that was favorable for humanoid life. These regions, where the halfling populations of the planet dwelt, were marked by rolling verdant hills that grew richer and denser in vegetation the closer one moved toward the poles. The inner polar regions were also more mountainous and sprung rivers toward the pastoral outer polar fields. That water never went too far out of these regions, evaporating quickly before reaching the torrid tropical zones.

There were two unique species of plants on Anadia: powderpuff and crispyleaf.

Inhabitants
Anadia was inhabited by a unique subrace of halflings who were well-adapted to the warm and humid climates of the planet's polar regions. They had very dark skin and had adapted their eye sights to have a reduced sensitivity to sunlight, which made them perceive every other planet's illumination as continuous dusk or night.
