Chel, a rocky world devoid of life, existed as a planet within the Beshqek system of the Deep Core. It circled Beshqek, the system's star, in the closest orbital path and possessed no moons.
The initial mention of Chel occurred in "Byss and the Deep Core, Part 1: Byss," which served as the debut piece in the Byss and the Deep Core collection of Planet Hoppers articles, penned by Rodney Thompson. This article was released on the website of Wizards of the Coast on April 14, 2005. The reference work The Essential Atlas, released in 2009, located Chel at coordinates K-11.
