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.[1][2][3]

Description
Aballon's proximity to the sun means the planet 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 to most scholars of Golarion, but is is speculated that they were designed to harvest as much of the sun's energy as possible.[1][2][3]
