The '''Taldain system''' is the planetary system that contains [[Taldain]], where [[White Sand]] takes place. It is a binary system consisting of one large star and a secondary smaller star. The smaller, a relatively dim white dwarf, is surrounded by a dense cloud of particles known as the Particulate Ring. The larger, a blue-white supergiant, plays an important role in the means by which Taldain is [[Invest]]ed by [[Autonomy]].{{au ref|taldain}} The positioning of the system was intentionally designed by someone{{wob ref|date=2017-3-24|3343|Leipzig Book Fair}}, presumably Autonomy.

;[[Taldain]]: Taldain is the sole planet inhabiting the Taldain system. It is tidally locked and located at a Lagrange point{{wob ref|date=2016-11-30|2765|Arcanum Unbounded San Francisco signing}} such that [[Dayside]] always faces the larger star while [[Darkside]] always faces the smaller, weak star, which is obscured by the Particulate Ring. It is in an unstable orbit known as "Wombear's Saddle", where it is kept from ever entering into its natural stable orbit by the gravity of Ridos, and by some other, unknown force, presumably Autonomy.{{book ref|ws|part=ars}} A single moon, '''Nizh Da''', is in a polar orbit around the planet.{{au ref|taldain}}
