Thyst is a highly irradiated moon of the planet Bretheda.1

Geography

Thyst's atmosphere is highly radioactive, enough to quickly melt most visitors into residue, and covered in thick clouds that shroud most of the surface in perpetual twilight.1

Inhabitants

Thyst has developed an ecosystem that lives off the intense radiation that would kill many other lifeforms. This includes tree ferns with black leaves and 20-foot-tall grasses, and bald, thin felines that prey upon the burrowing locust-voles. Texts written by Thyst's neighbours suggest that its resident sapient life forms are a light-absorbing humanoid race with unnaturally inorganic-looking skin (which might or might not be a type of clothing), but very few have managed to contact them, and most visits only report of countless eyes glowing in the grass forests.1
