The Hidden Moon

The Hidden Moon is one of Battal's three moons. The other two moons are known as the Bright Moons. The Hidden Moon is named as such because of how darkly it broods with Unlight. It orbits low in Battal's night sky, below the two Bright Moons.

The Hidden Moon is also known as the Middlemoon which is very much a misnomer because it is actually the lowest moon.

In Pretty Metal Idol Hagane-chan, it is revealed that the Hidden Moon is actually hollow. The interior of the moon contains a world of its own, known as Lanumon - inhabited by an advanced civilization of Psicho humanoids known as the Sylverans and their insectoid servant race, the Tethos. One of the few ways Lanumon can be reached from Battal is through mystic gateways created in silver-backed mirrors that appear when the Hidden Moon is at its brightest.

The reason the Hidden Moon radiates unlight is because the Silver Star sucks light into the moon so that the interior may have an artificial sun in the middle that keeps Lanumon illuminated.
