The spheres in this local sector of the aether can be described as follows. Planetary names favored by astrologists on the northern continent are presented first, followed by the astrological names preferred on the southern continent.
Muspelheim – Shehaqim
A rocky and heavily volcanic world located nearest to the system’s star. It’s too small to retain anything but a mild exosphere, as a result it is marked by asteroid craters. It’s outstanding features are it’s rivers and seas of magma, and the clouds of pyroclastic ash. The planet’s spin is very rapid, and both it’s days and years are short.
A few tiny moonlets surround this sphere, but their orbits are unstable. Several former satellites have already been drawn away into the pull of the central star, and it is only a matter of time before those that remain follow.
Alfheim – Vilon/Araphel
A mid-sized rocky world, located second closest to the central star. It has a thick atmosphere, resulting in a runaway greenhouse effect. The outstanding features are it’s acid rains, and the resulting lakes and streams of sulfuric acid. It’s also marked by frequent thunderstorms, and occasional volcanic eruptions.
This sphere has no moons.
Midgard – Erets
A habitable world with a thick oxygen-nitrogen atmosphere, full of liquid water. It is populated by several life forms, both plant and animal, some of which are capable of rational thought.

This sphere is orbited by the moon, Luna.
Vanaheim – Maon
A mid-sized world with a thin oxygen atmosphere, and plentiful water. The sphere is tidally locked with a single day side eternally pointed towards the sun, and a night side trapped in eternal darkness. At the point closest to the central star, the terrain is rocky and barren. At the farthest side, it is covered by ice. However, in a small band running across the planet, is a twilight zone with a temperate climate and flowing water. Flora can be seen in this green area, but no evidence of animal life has yet been found.
This sphere has no moons.
Asgard – Araboth
A massive gas giant, this is the largest planet in the system. It’s thick clouds are constantly in swirling with storms and lightning. The core is a hazy area of liquid metals.
This sphere is surrounded by several moderately sized moons, all named for minor demi-gods.
Nidavellir – Makon
A large gas giant, this is the third largest planet in the system. Like Araboth it is constantly swirling with storms and lightning. However, the center is a rocky core, kept under immense heat and pressure.
This sphere has very many small moons and moonlets, all named for mythological humanoid figures. There is also a long and very distinctive set of mostly rocky rings.
Niflheim – Zebul
A low-density gas giant, this is the second largest planet in the system. The winds here are the fastest in the star system. The center is a small core of exotic ices. Zebul and Raqia are unique, in that they orbit the central star at approximately the same distance as one another, but on mirrored radiuses from the other.
This sphere has a few small moons, named after famous historical astrologists. There is also a very thin layer of mostly icy rings.
Jotunheimr – Raqia
An ice giant, with a thick atmosphere. It is covered by a planetwide ocean of methane, covering a core of solid ice. Zebul and Raqia are unique, in that they orbit the central star at approximately the same distance as one another, but on mirrored radiuses from the other.
This sphere has a few small moons, named for famous historical astrologists.
Hel – Sheol
A small rocky planetoid on the periphery of the solar system, far beyond the orbits of Niflheim and Jotunheimr. It has no known atmosphere, and it’s frozen surface is covered by impact craters.
