Shanda, or Shandaland as it is properly referred to by the Sharro of the Homeland, is the second smallest body in the Earerse system. It is currently one of the only two planets in the system to support life and is the more lush of the two. The Chomashi, Sharro, Nonoshan, Derve’sii, and several mixed subspecies exist on its surface along with a varied populace of wildlife.
Shanda circles two yellow stars, Earerse and Shardsii. Because Shanda is far away from the stars, it is a relatively cool planet with an average temperature of about 75 degrees Fahrenheit at the equator. Also, due to the unusual fact that Shanda circles two stars instead of one, activity on the surface is limited because the stars are so bright when in the sky together. Many natives stay out of the sun by sleeping during the day and working during the night; though not all follow this practice.
The stars are not always in the sky together though. Shardsii rises first and sets last, making Shanda’s dawn and dusk long and breathtakingly beautiful. At dawn the smaller star is known to rise and set alone before rising with its sister star.
