3rd moon from Arkkanna. Lies in between the orbits of Zeraphus and Torreah.
A dying moon once full of life. Vortis' core has been cooling for centuries, yet it should be completely dead by now. Thanks to the tidal forces of Arkkana, the alien life on Vortis is slowly and painfully dying.
Overview:
Vortis is currently the third innermost moon of the Arkkannian Planetary System. Vortis, from space, may seem like a regular habitable moon with rivers and big lakes. This is entirely untrue, as the moon is dying. The rivers were once vast and carried a great deal of water, and the lakes were once vast oceans scattered around the planet. Now there are canyons of once-rivers and large empty basins of once-oceans. The water is a deep blue and is quite unclean. There is aquatic life, whereas the life on the surface is having a harder time. Vortis is bombarded with radiation from the Arkkanna and ArTis and has a hazy, cloudy atmosphere due to the rapid evaporation of the water. Some clouds do precipitate, but most are degraded into space.
Life on Vortìs consists of hardy plants to resist the radiation, while some microbes are underground, only coming up for resources. There are some species of the genus Barvunelis, some of which are similar to the Ustrenpased plant found in Zeraphus. The aquatic life also consists of microbes, which can also explain the unsafe consumable water, while having aquatic creatures and plants.

Thank you @ChaseWilsons! That explains the reason of my time to time absence—busy making things more awesome!

@Spitty So, the life mostly came from Zeraphus. Due to its proximity to Arkkanna, it has a lot of volcanoes, and its placement in Arkkanna's rings gives it a dusty, hazy, toxic atmosphere. The atmosphere allowed microbial life to survive better than on airless worlds. The Ustrenpased (Barvunelis Ustrenpased) has a hardy anti-radiation shell to protect itself from the radiation. Some other plants would be the Awemit (Barvunelis Awemtricae), a similar plant that sacrificed most of its shell for leaves to get more energy. Because of their vulnerability to radiation, they live in shady areas like mountains, caves, and valleys.

@Hyperant I’m curious. Did they spread via Panspermia? Specifically by asteroid/meteorites/comets, or by being stowaways in spacecraft?

So to begin with, Vortís is suffering a similar fate to Mars @Spitty. Most of the life is underground and underwater. The caves on Vortìs are beautiful. Due to the warm, dark, and possibly moist environment, they are littered with bioluminescent life, including fungi. Some species of the genus "Barvunelis" is also found in Vortìs, along with Zeraphus, Trivonis, Erros, and other Arkkannian moons. Barvunelis plants (genus) are normally round or bulbous. The Ustrenpased species of the Barvunelis has thin grass-like leaves protruding out the top through a small opening. Some SUB-SPECIES of the Ustrenpased that are found on Vortís are the Yaquili (Barvunelis Ustrenpased Yaquilis). Under the water also many plants and creatures. Some are hostile, whereas some are grazers, eating the plant life. There are also microbes on Vortìs, to of which may be harmful to humans.

Sort-of and sort-of not @Spitty. Most of the surface plant life has hardy, thick layers of protection to battle radiation, and the harsh climate, like sandstorms. I can tell you more if you would like me too.

lol, thanks @Zenithspeed. I put extra effort into the details because, for some reason, this was my favorite, despite the lore saying its dying and gonna be a barren rock soon.
awesome, it's finally here
epic
i saw this right when the beat dropped in the song i was listening to, made it that much cooler
