Hírumor

Post by Nesescosac »

What's in Hírumor that makes it green?
I did have a bizarrely similar (to the original poster's) accident about four years ago, in which I slipped over a cookie and somehow twisted my ankle so far that it broke
What kind of cookie?

Large quantities of methane in the atmosphere is my guess. Well that would be cyan, judging from our own Ouranos

Hírumor is described on the Almeopedia as "bright green", certainly not cyan.

Also, what makes Imiri whitish-green and Vlerëi, a terrestrial planet, blue?

It's because of olocuat crivecei, one assumes.

Due to light scattering, celestial objects from Earth appear shifted toward the red. Just as white stars (such as the sun) appear yellow, so blue objects appear greenish. I've seen both Uranus and Neptune described as "blue-green" and even "green" many times, especially in older literature before Voyager 2 visited.

Imiri would presumably be Uranus-colored, i.e., blue-white, and tinted by the atmosphere. Vlerei is, I guess, an Earthlike world replacing a Mars equivalent, like Minerva in Harry Turtledove's "A World of Difference".
