A natural phenomenon resulting by the curvature of spacetime due to most objects having mass. Astea's gravity is close to that of Earth, but still only has about 87% as much gravity, causing objects to accelerate downwards at 8.467 m/s² or 27.778 ft/s². This difference in gravity allows for slightly larger creatures than possible on Earth and has resulted in a weaker atmosphere, prone to solar winds. The Gods first witnessed this happen in great effect after the death of The Titan which launched a tenth of the planets atmosphere away into the universe. In an attempt to remedy this problem and the looming threat they faced, they crafted an illusory sky to encapsulated the planet and shield it from the suns deadly rays, and to shield the Gods from the inhabitants of Astea.
