Knephas (/ˈkneɪ.fɑːs/) is a rocky and especially mountainous moon, with few flat sections to speak of. It has an unusually close atmosphere for a moon of its size which, though composed of surtrite and karnite, glows a sickly green throughout the day, only giving way to a deep violet at dusk.
Nomenclature
Knephas (Homeric Greek) is a term from Homer's Iliad used to describe the darkness particular to the evening dusk or twilight period.
