Asiel

The planet
Asiel is the second planet of the Isträ system. It was named by Master Astovël after his second son.

Size and structure
As the rest of the planets of the Isträ system (apart from Theremis), Asiel is not a habitable planet. It is a small planet, even though it is bigger than Heas. As this planet, it's mainly made of Granite and Quartz. It has a very thin atmosphere and the air is mainly composed of Azote and Carbon Dyoxide, which still makes it deadly. As Heas, it doesn't have any water but is much dustier, as there are much less volcanos. A big part of this planet is a giant desert. The gravity is also stronger, meaning there are less mountains.

Climate
Despite being less hot than Heas, the planet is still very hot. While Heas' sky is covered by a roof of ashes, Asiel has a clear sky, which makes it a very sunny planet.

Moon
Asiel has one moon, named Erika, after Master Astovël's brother.

Resources and commercial interest
If Heas is absolutely not exploitable, Asiel's climatic conditions make it a bit more possible. But despite its tolerable conditions, the planet lacks interesting resources, meaning the Ether also ignored this planet in their search for resources to exploit in nearby space.

Cultural meaning
According to the Elven sun circle, people born under Asiel are inclined to be easy-going, smiling and simple. They are however often seen as rather simple-minded and parents following the sun circle often deny proper education to children born under Asiel because of the belief that it may be useless, giving them simpler tasks such as farming.
