Due to it having an orbit almost perpendicular to Hexar's, the moon has a surprisingly stable climate. The air is breathable to Hexarians, although after hours or days it usually inflicts uncomfortable and dangerous side effects such as vomiting and light-headedness. Most other oxygen-breathing races cannot survive when exposed to the atmosphere of Parriphenos, due to the high percentage of the compound hydrogen cyanide (a substance harmless to Dejennans; both the Hexarians and the Kvorn).
