The specific problem is:  This article is a stub; Sarrubian needs detail. (More details may be found on the Discussion Page.)

The Dreamland planets of Sarrub and Yundu, with the Sarrubians and their enemies the Wenelian Pirates and the Phosphorescent Beasts that serve them are the creation of Phil Frances for the H.P. Lovecraft's Dreamlands scenario "Lemon Sails".

Sarrub

Sarrubia is a magical realm which lies in space beyond the moon. It was once a land famous for its wine, but it has not been heard from for many years, for an chilly doom once came to Sarrub, chilling the world's green seas, low-hilled continents, and dark, cloudy skies; the doom might have ended, but Sarrub is slow to recover. The columned buildings of Sarrubia are built of a white stone veined with grey, peopled with the last remnants of the Sarrubian race, and on the seas float ivory ships that once regularly flew to and from the Dreamlands, as in rainy Sarrubia produced a wondrous Space Meade renowned throughout the Dreamlands for its special properties that allow ships to fly.

Sarrubian

TO_DO An alien Dreamlander which has three life stages and is capable of using illusion to disguise itself as a human to make trading in Sarrubian Space Meade easier.

Yundu

Yundu, an alien planet and its dreamland, home of the Wenelian Pirates and their Phosphorescent Monsters; the tarry black roiling surface of this ocean world is lit by no sun, instead, a ring of what appear to be glowing red coals encircles it. Hence, on Yundu there is no day nor night, only eternal sullen twilight; there is little land, the most prominent land is what appears to be the remnants of a crater, the high crater walls just peeking out of the tarry black liquid that serves as Yundu's ocean. The grim towers of an unpleasant city stand on the crumbling crater walls, among them a building standing high up on a mountain edge which has a single enormous steeple spearing up into the sky, the House of the Single Spire. (Phil Frances, "Lemon Sails")

Wenelian

Wenelian Dream-Pirates are bizarre beings from the planet Yundu who sometimes visit the Dreamlands, floating on the air, writhing their way along by extending and contracting bloated, boneless, sausge-shaped, sluglike bodies, which are patterned in strangely beautiful subtle shades of golden yellow, mouse-gray, ocher, and emerald. At one end of their bodies is a wrinkled tubular proboscis through which the wenelians blow a powder that blinds and incapacitates their victims; just above the proboscis sprouts a pair of fin-like appendages somewhat reminiscent of ears, and just behind these wave a pair of long stalks tipped with shiny black eyes. Wenelians sometimes also fly through Dream space, riding horrible green gliding things used as beasts of burden for their raids (see Phosphorescent Monsters, above).

Phosphorescent Monster

These creatures are colossal glowing green dream-things, standing over thirty feet tall at the shoulders with wide scoop-like mouths and vast bat-wings which they use to fly through Dream space. The are barely domesticated as beasts of burden by the wenelian pirates, who also ride the enormous creatures through Dream space. These monsters are not very intelligent but constantly hungry, their mouths scooping up even small buildings and other large objects, as well as luckless wenelian pirates who get in the way.
