Ossis (/ˈoʊs.sis/) is an icy satellite of Manes. Its surface is largely pale blue, and is wide snowy fields are dotted with mountainous ridges and gentle dimples alike. Throughout the day its sky shines with a pale gold, which turns more and more green as the sun sets. Because of its smaller size, the curvature of the horizon is visible even from ground elevations.
Nomenclature
From Classical Latin, Ossis is a borrowed term for a skeletal bone, and as a metaphor, conveys the meaning of something deep within the body or frame as a generalized physical presence more than a specific anatomical location — one's innermost being or feeling. It is occasionally used to describe the heartwood of a tree, or the pip of a fruit.
