Golarion's Moons?

Perusing through Realm of the Fellnight Queen it mentions Golarion's two moons... What? Did I miss this somewhere? Do they have names? Any information and/or references would be welcome.

Ugh... that's an error.

Golarion has only one moon.


the other one cracked in half creating massive natural disasters sundering the lands around Manhat and the lantic sea...oh wait that sounds like Thundarr the barbarian...

Manhat

I have one of those once. This guy was annoying me to no end so I told him "If you don't give me what I want now, I'll rip off your limbs, braid them, and wear them as a hat as I throw your limbless body to the wolves."

He didn't believe me.

Look at my picture! Those "appandages" on my hat are not made of cloth.

"That's no moon." :-D

And actually, after checking my final manuscript, apparently I never wrote anything about Golarion having two moons. Hmmmm...some enterprising editor or developer must have embellished a bit. ;-)

That extra "s" was a typo. The text in question refers specifically to the Fellnight Realm, which has two moons which are both eerie reflections of Golarion's own moon.

Golarion has only one moon.

And so far, it has no name other than 'the moon,' right?

Correct. If I had to name it, I'd probably name it Somal, which is the name of the visible moon in my homebrew game.

So ... what's the name of the invisible one? (And why is he (she? it?) invisible?)

Nightscar; and it's not invisible, it just has a VERY low albedo; it reflects no sunlight at all so is only noticeable in the night sky when it passes in front of stars and blocks them out... or when it passes in front of the visible moon, of course, which is a pretty rare event known as a Night of the Eye.

Thank you. This is a pretty cool idea.

Would anyone else love a Baria guide/gazetter? Just hypothetically.

I LOVE THUNDARR

That's no moon...it's a space station

Will there ever be a book about all the moons?
