(Classical Latin) - IPA(key)
Consus (/ˈkoʊ.nsus/) is the 16th moon of Eos sector. Despite lacking any large craters, its surface is thoroughly inundated with evidence of impacts throughout the millennia, and much of its reddish mantle is exposed through the crust of the moon. Though its gravity is unremarkable for a moon of its size, its atmosphere is held close to the surface, and its low ground fog obscures vision throughout the day.
Nomenclature
In ancient Roman religion, the god Consus was the protector of grains, and was represented by a grain seed. His altar was located underground at the first meta of the Circus Maximus, and was uncovered during the days of his celebration known as the Consualia.
Consus became a god associated with secret conferences, and this power of hidden counseling seems to be related to the concept expressed by Dionysus and Plutarch that he (Consus) is the "holder" of the Earth, an idea that makes him a parallel to Neptune. Both Neptune and Consus are considered chthonic ("in, under, or beneath the earth") deities, and are associated with the underworld.
