====Internals====
The moon has a relatively active internal structure, a little bit more active than the Earth’s structure. The core is just a little smaller than the Earth’s core if corrected for the object’s size differences, but it makes up for the speed of the core. It generates a magnetic field just a bit stronger than the Earth’s, and it is also assisted by the parent planet, which also bears some of the solar wind. From year to year, the moon’s aurora expands and contracts in length, like the Earth’s, though here it is more often due to the parent star. This strong core also pierces the mantle more often, and this creates a few strong volcanoes every so often, which regulates the climate to be a warmer one. Speaking of which, because this moon is close to its parent planet, it gets stretched a little, making the mantle softer and more spread out.
====Geography====
A mountainous land bridge firmly connects the two large continents on the moon. These two continents span many tectonic plates and are thus unlikely to stay as large units in the future, more likely to separate into many small landmasses that drift on the dark sea. The tectonic plates are very fractured, more than triple the amount found on Earth. Many of them are small in size and have little to no motion in the modern day, with a few exceptions. Many of them seem to be around the size of Britain, with the largest of these little fractures being around the size of Scandinavia. These fractures appear to be concentrated in a single area, specifically the bulk of C1 and its large inland sea. Coincidentally, this inland sea is home to numerous small volcanic islands, likely due to the collision or rifting of these plates. Due to this, the bulkland in C1 has a large number of islands, most of which are young and tall, half the height of Mt. Everest on average. C1 and C2 (the continents) are not that interesting besides a few organized mountain ranges here and there and, surprisingly, a very small amount of lakes. On the seas, the islands are not small in size; many of them are large, resembling small continents in their own right, with even one of them taking up a tectonic plate themselves. In short, large continents, many small tectonic plates, and large islands.

====Climate====
The moon has a generally arid climate. Most of the moon is covered in large arid grasslands, with some semi-dense forests spread in between and two sand dunes (deserts) put in the middle of some arid hills. In the bulk of C1, the climate is like that of the arid Iberian hills: slightly windy, in some places grainy, and like that of a drier Mediterranean. In the various mountain ranges, the climate shifts to be even more arid and more windy. This is most likely due to the self-reinforcing rainshadow effect of the organization of these ranges, which are more circular in shape. Going over the many arid hills and grasslands found in C2, we will encounter one of the sand dunes, a small area of sand that is very hot and very dry, but also very calm in its weather. The other dune is similar, but higher and a little colder. Going out to sea, you will find the most humid part of the moon, though this is still not livable. The many islands share a sort of drought-prone Mediterranean climate. Even though this is a more humid part of the moon, it is still very susceptible to large wildfires if the temperature increases a little like the rest of the moon. That is another thing to mention. Due to the very dry climate and large amounts of usually dry foliage, wildfires are very easy to start, sometimes taking noticeably large portions of land.
====Biosphere====
====Landsphere====
Most of the species on land here are carnivorous, as the alternative of eating plants is unreliable and nutrient-poor. Most of the land animals are fast and have the body build of an elk or deer, but they are much larger, and they have way larger antlers. These large antlers seem to serve the purpose of finding a mate, with whom whoever has the largest antler wins, and as well for charging, which is very useful during combat. On some occasions, these deer-like animals would miss and crash into something else, and they have been seen to create large dents or cracks into the sides of large or dense hills. There is, of course, another general land species. They are fast, just like the deer-analogs, but they have taken on a more tiger-like appearance, are sleek, and normally have hunter green winded fur. They might have evolved this trait to blend in with the normally beige-green environment of the grasslands but also forests. Both of these general species have a trait for surviving most wildfires: a sort of resistance to the fire, though only for a little bit. They might have evolved this because of how common they are—unavoidable even—and thus a trait to resist fire would be at least somewhat necessary.
====Hydrosphere====
The waters here are mostly barren. There are no coral reefs found on this moon, and most life is not bioluminescent either, or even sticks to the surface. Most aquatic life sticks to the twilight zone, where they have taken the form of large silhouettes that normally have very large fins. They are like that of regular school fish, though now made independent, larger, and more colorless, as they generally have a garish - blackish phenotype. There are of course smaller fish only found years after the moon was discovered. They seem to stick to their larger brethren and also seem to serve them as some sort of tribe, normally as cleaners but also as food collectors. Most, if not all the aquatic life here is found to be herbivoric or at least herbivore leaning, eating from the abundant amount of nutritious kelp which builds large forests that sometimes stretch in height to the surface. Unlike their relatives on land, these are more nutrient rich, apparently more so than any of the fish themselves, and they tend to have a lot of material, being very dense, wide, and tall. Most of them also prefer to live in the twilight zone for some reason, having the ability to grow this much with a very little amount of light. They might have come down due to some symbiotic relation with the fish, or to take advantage of some thermal heat.
====Arialsphere====
The birds here are generally uninteresting. They normally have white feathers and stick to the coasts where they can, eating whatever worms come from the ground during the night. They sort of act like seagulls, though they are smaller in size and have a larger beak. There is one species of bird which uses the wildfires to their advantage, even starting them if needed. They use wildfires as a way to catch any available prey in the form of bugs, which here normally curl into their protective shells

=== Moon system ===
The moon system which this moon exists in is very simple. It has only 2 major moons, a temperate airless miniferria, and this moon, a temperate marine terrae. Both moons orbit in circular orbits on the planetary plane, and both orbit close to the planet. There are other moons besides these two, the first group, (the closer one) is a close collection of small asteroids from the formative days that sort of shepherd the ring system, not on the inside but rather the outside. There are 5 of these moons, and they best resemble the irregular asteroids of Jupiter: Metis, Adrastea, Amalthea, and Thebe. There of course is a second group, a large cloud of asteroids with eccentric orbits. These barren / frozen pebbles are all either captured or nearly flung out from formation, and they have an average size of a small landmass. They are close enough / reflective enough they look like little stars.

=== Star system ===
The moon exists in a binary star system. The primary of this system is a yellow dwarf (G7 V), and the secondary is a red dwarf (M0.5 V). The primary subsystem has 5 planets in a GAS - TER - GAS pattern; it has an asteroid belt around the first position and a large (though spread out) oort cloud. This subsystem is larger in terms of size, with the distance of the 5th planet from the primary being 2.19 AU, versus the smaller 0.98 AU. The secondary system has seven planets, as previously mentioned, but these planets are small, with the largest one being only 2%–3% of Jupiter. This system has two asteroid belts, one around the 7th planet and one around the 1st planet. This subsystem also has an oort cloud of its own. There are two distant cold worlds that orbit both stars as well.
