The planet Aballon is also known as the Horse, because of the speed with which it travels around the sun. It is also the closest of the planets to Golarion's star and because of this proximity has a surface temperature which can melt lead. It could easily be assumed that for this reason alone, Aballon is a charred, featureless world devoid of life, but studies have shown that here and there ruins of ancient cities poke through its shifting sands. Whether these structures were built by elementals or a mechanical race is unknown, but is is speculated that they were designed to harvest as much of the sun's energy as possible.
