Mass Scale
The Reach became the standard against which mass, and size was measured across the cosmos. Three familiar bodies provided natural reference points: the star of the Reach established the unit of Stellar Mass and Size ☉, Riftmoor established World Mass ⨁, and Hep—the largest and nearest of the Reach's giants—established Giant Mass ♃.
These three units provided a simple shorthand for measuring and comparing the stars, worlds, and giants encountered as the Wardens carried mortals into new systems.
The solar system containing Riftmoor, and the Rift Scar.
There were 8 Celestial bodies in the The Reach.
