The Moons of Nirn : The Elder Scrolls Series Discussion

I've always wondered why and how the two moons are orbiting around each other and why one is grey and the other is red?

http://www.imperial-library.info/obscure_text/cosmology.shtml may help.

Maybe http://www.imperial-library.info/mwbooks/varietiesoffaith.shtml too.

Massar is powered by the secondary Z-system systems of a V'ek ship. Secunda being is kept afloat by the mass believe suspension effect first discovered during the reign of Reman I?, but rediscovered by the Imperial Mananauts. The red and white colour distortions are side effects of these respective mechanisms.

Sounds allot better then, magic and no lore available, eh?

He's saying that the answer is actually "magic, and insufficient lore available."

Vehkships are the spacecraft once used to explore (the Void, was it? Or Aetherius?); the Imperial Mananauts have been mentioned in the past. People who travel through (the aether?) rather than space as with our astronauts and cosmonauts.

Hungry for new lore?

Also, belief-power is a very fickle thing. If enough people start believing that the moon is a giant bowl of cheddar cheese, then all of a sudden, *poof* Secunda turns pale-yellow and reflects light like glazed pottery. Of course, it is also quite ingenious. If enough people don't know that they are holding it up, then they'll look at it and never believe for an instant that it could be anywhere else other than where it should be.

what i think which could be wrong but i think the red one is oblivion and the white one is aetherius (the divines realm). Like i sead i could be wrong.

The red one is Mars and the white one is a moon of Jupiter. But that's just the textures. They're actually Lorkhan's corpse. Don't dwell on which parts.

If I recall correctly, the moons are actually the remains of Lorkhan's Plane/Lorkhan's corpse (as Aedra and Daedra are their planes).

The Moons are Lorkhan's body, if you missed these two consectuive posts

And Aetherius is beyond Oblivion.

Woah now, let's try to keep this pg 13, we don't want to freak out the kids at home.

One's red beacuse its bloody and the other's gray beacuse Lorkhan didn't get much sun (mainly beacuse it didn't exist yet).
