Apostae, the Messenger is the tenth planet from Golarion's sun and the smallest in the solar system: a planetoid. It is further distinguished by its unique, non-elliptical orbit practically perpendicular to that of Golarion.[1][2]

Description
Apostae is perceived from outside as a large, rocky asteroid devoid of life with two strange elements:
- several giant metal doors on the surface and
- a series of portal arches which lead to other parts of the solar system plus a unique arch of mystery.[2]
Scholars believe that there are portals on this planet which lead to places outside of its solar system.[1]
In reality, unknown to most inhabitants of the solar system, Apostae is a huge starship with a trapped crew sealed inside the planet.[2]

Rune Representation
In scholarly works, Apostae is sometimes represented by a rune: a circle with four short stubs pointing outwards from it, with a cross placed diagonally over it. The upper right arm of the cross is slightly elongated.[3]
Gazetteer

Inhabitants
The main inhabitants inside Apostae are the strange 'race' called the Ilee, scattered in 'tribes' across the interior world. In the Empty Lands more feral creatures lair as well as constructs of unknown purpose. The most renowned of these constructs is Grandfather Stone.
