The eighth and final planet, much like Glyth, is extremely dangerous but the inhabitants mostly keep to themselves.
Geography
H'Catha is a flat disc-shaped water world with a tall mountain at its center, resembling a sundial. As it revolves around the Sun, it looks very much like a wagon wheel. The large central mountain, known as the Spindle, always points towards the Sun, while the rest of the planet rolls along in its orbit. The Spindle is central to H'Catha, both physically, culturally, and spiritually. The mountain is located at the exact center of the planet, and is 200 miles thick at its base, tapering to a point over 1,000 miles above the surface of the planet. The Spindle is the tallest mountain in Realmspace.
Inhabitants
H’Catha is home to multiple clans of beholders all battling for control of the planet. The constant battle has done nothing but stain the Spindle green with beholder blood, and keep the beholder nations from conquering other worlds that would otherwise be theirs for the taking.
Satellites
H'Catha has two moons that circumnavigate the planet along its orbital axis (i.e. along its rim), and create tidal fluctuations which ensure the water in the oceans continually circulate.
Turnbetl
This spherical celestial body is under strict quarantine and any Spelljammer would be met by Beholder pirates if they were to get too close.
Lumbe
This cylindrical celestial body appears to be an artificial structure but none have gotten close and lived to tell the secrets it contains.
