Farth, the Flickering Planet

If Airth is aligned with Air and Eir is aligned with Earth then it is only logical that Farth would be associated with Fire. Much to the surprise of astrolonomers it was found to indeed be associated with fire. The reason for this surpise was due to the fact that the astrolonomers knew that logic usually has no place on Battal. Therefore, they expected it to be something totally different from what it was named.

Nonetheless Farth is a planet on fire, quite literally, while not on fire in the same way as the Sun is on fire the entire surface of the planet is engulfed in a great conflagration. This causes the planet to appear very orange and for it to flicker violently. It was thought for a long time that Farth as a star not a planet due to this flickering (planets don't flicker, stars do), but when seen through a telescope it was resolved that there was a planetary disk and it was changing intensity violently.
