Kevari has always been one of the hardest planets (Technically a moon) I have ever made. It's history is one of heavy redesigns, jumping between one dissatisfaction to another, never being happy with it, until now. In the Past The moon has always been inspired by fake-color pictures of Io , which at the time (and still do) strike me as specially pretty. A combination of colors that, even if untrue, had the potential for an incredible memorable body.

The proximity to its star is not what causes its hellish appareance, but a recent impact crater. Cracks have formed in the surface, and the north regions of the planet are unrecognizable compared to how it was before the impact. A giant lake of molten rock now occupies that space, and is surrounded by a mountain chain. A giant circular crack can be seen on the night side of the planet, being the only thing that can be seen on the darkne
