Merén

The inhabited planet of Merén is the only human inhabited moon. Merén orbits the gas giant Series a bit like our Io orbits Jupiter but it is non-planar. Merén is a beautiful world that has some of the most unusual geology in the universe, but it is also lethal. It is 1.12 mass of the earth even though is 1.8 the size because it is not made up of a solid iron core but rather a magnetic form of berylium silicate alloy.

Merén is one of many other moons that orbit the gas giant, but the little world is the innermost moon of 5 conspicuously large moons. The gravity of the giant series, and the large gang of 4 moons outside of it causes the crust to swell and buckle every orbit. (once every 24 hours Merén orbits geosynchronously locked to series) this means the interior is highly volcanic and the volcanic activity centers around the face that faces the gas giant. The side of the planet that perpetually faces the gas giant is so volcanic it is uninhabitable and is know to the inhabitants as the rivenwall.

Merén is extremely Volcanic: The Riven face is locked to the gas giant and because te wholw moon is flexed once every orbit Merén spews out enormous amounts of volcanic debris intot he atmosphere every day. The world is far too caustic, poisonous and sulphurous to sustain any life. What is more the interior is not liquid throughout rather liquid in the portion facing the gas giant. The volcanos are so enormous they poison the atmosphere for a large portion of the hemisphere and create incredible tensions ecologically.

So how is the volcanic moon able to sustain life?
