=Messos Myonel=
Messos Myonel lacks seasons, but experiences great changes in weather each day. The following table gives a general idea of the environment at any given time of day.
The following environmental hazards can happen at any time of day: [[#Blinding Flare of Olum|Blinding Flare of Olum]], [[#Cave-in|Cave-in]], [[#Geyser Field|Geyser Field]], [[#Hailstorm|Hailstorm]], [[#Hidden Crevasses|Hidden Crevasses]], [[#High Pressure Wells|High Pressure Wells]], [[#Quake|Quake]], [[#Thermal Wave|Thermal Wave]], [[#Volcanic Eruption|Volcanic Eruption]], [[#Volcanic Storm|Volcanic Storm]].

'''{{Anchor|Silver Mist}}:''' A fairly rare and poisonous microorganism that grows in thin sheets underground on cave walls. If disturbed, by sensing vibrations nearby within 10 feet, it detaches itself from the wall and forms a toxic cloud in the air, becoming an inhaled poison. Silver mist is a neurotoxin and impairs natural instinct and judgement.
'''{{Anchor|Emerald Fog}}:''' A fairly rare and mildly toxic microorganism that uses long cellular fibers (much like cilia) to stay airborne, collecting in great quantities in upper atmosphere clouds as well as rolling fog banks. If inhaled, it is known to cause fatigue as well as temporary discoloration. The green toxin seeps into the body, readily taking root in soft tissues and skin. This discoloration remains for 1d4 × ; 10 hours.

The following features are prevalent on Messos Myonel. The planet may support other features as well, not limited to the following.
====The Vast Sky====
Hues of the sky vary greatly, as well as the sky's visibility and haziness. Daytime is typically a hazy orange, though on occasion, the sky may be yellowed and surprisingly clear, lending to starker shadows than the typical diffused haze. As Olum beams from the horizon, the sky becomes tinged with blues, greens, reds and oranges. During the night, the sky becomes a deep purple. Unusually, due to the atmospheric density, stars, moons and planets are often highly visible.
==== Crystal Forests ====
==== Evaporating Seas and Lakes ====
The seas of Messos Myonel are mostly fairly shallow, with an average depth of 6,000 feet and a maximum depth of 4 miles in undersea canyons. The heat of the day heats up the surface waters to boiling and evaporates large portions, dropping sea levels by a hundred feet and exposing large amounts of clay and mineral sludge to the baking heat of the day. Shallower lakes are often turned into muddy mires by late morning and flat and cracked flats by midday. With a thick atmosphere and thermal buffer, this should not be the case at all. It is thought that there is some sort of elemental magic to the planet itself that results in these effects.
In the evening, great floods of rain refill the oceans and lakes, brining bringing with it more mud and clay. At night, shallow lakes freeze completely, while the oceans freeze less, as it acts as a thermal bufferforming vast sheets of ice while deeper waters remain stable.
Deep oceanic levels have surprisingly low acidity, but remarkably high pressure and a fairly stable temperatures. Many microorganisms float freely in the depths as well as other forms of multicellular lifeforms.
