Lol. Interesting thoughts. Of course, just because this is a "moon" doesn't
mean it has to be anything like what we think of as a moon (ie. no
atmosphere, low gravity, no rotation therefore having a "dark side".)
Actually, you would expect a lower gravity since, I believe, by definition,
a moon would be a smaller planet. Perhaps if it is made of a more dense
core it would have a stronger pull of gravity to compensate for it's lack
of size? Not an astrophysicist, so I wouldn't know. :-)

Anyway, the screenshots pretty much show that this "moon" is basically a
prettier Norrath with more detailing, ie. Norrath 2.
