Magnus (natively Tivaleh, lit. "soft glow") is the first and smallest rocky planet of Solakku and holds onto no atmosphere. Its surface features relatively few craters as it is very geologically active, which has the effect of constantly smoothing over the surface. The exception to this are the few large impact craters that have managed to flood with molten rock and are a prominent visual feature of Magnus.

Magnus possesses no moons, most likely due to its hill sphere being too small to capture any other bodies.
