Planet
Gravox
The planet where everything floats: gravity so weak that a step becomes a twenty-metre leap, impossible needle-mountains and a fauna that never touches the ground.
On Gravox, gravity is all but absent. An ordinary step throws a walker twenty metres into the air, and it takes long seconds to come down. Dust never settles: it hangs in golden veils drifting slowly across the landscape.
The needle mountains
Because nothing weighs anything, the rock of Gravox rises in absurdly thin needles, kilometres tall and only a few metres wide. They shoot up like stalks and never fall. Between them hang stone bridges that tremble at the slightest breath.
A fauna that never lands
The animals of Gravox need no wings to fly: pushing off is enough. The loomak, a big round herbivore, launches itself from needle to needle by folding its six legs. The zerfs, tiny and countless, drift in shoals like fish through the air. No animal on Gravox truly knows how to walk.
