Theory on the moons.

[Cairdeas]

Currently there is a conversion going on asking whats going on with the size of the moons changing.

I have a Theory.



Hydaelyn only has 1 Moon.


That is right. 1 Moon. Singular.

The secondary Lunar Body that appears to be orbiting Hydaelyn is actually Orbiting Haydaelyn's Moon.


This could point to another neat theory.

One of the Orbiting bodies above Hydaelyn is actually another "Twin" Planet with its own moon.

Yay, Theories.


If it is a Twin Planet, That means it could be inhabited, Which means it could also point to us going there in the future. :3

And in this fictional world it's totally possible that the inhabitants always believed the 2nd moon to be a moon, but may later find out that it is actually something else.. Like a planet, (or meteor).
What Cairdeas said makes sense.
In the lore they're only called moons because the people living on the planet believe them to be moons. They could be wrong. Even with the lore this would make sense. I hope I explained this well enough.

As an example.. we've called Pluto a planet for so long. Now we're being told "oops, we were wrong, it's actually something else." It's not unrealistic to believe that the same could happen in a fictional world.

Hydaelyn has twin moons. The lore of Menphina, the lover (one of the Twelve) confirms this.

[Jynx]

Chances are that the second "Moon" is

Meteor.

[Teknoman]

The second moon could be meteor, and it might have just been dormant. Glowing red could mean it's been activated/artificial moon ala FFIV.

Lore of the gods doesn't answer scientifically whats going on up in space.

If it did, we'd use the bible as empirical evidence everywhere.

There is a mini quest in Wineport which tell about the moons.
The big moon is Melphina and the little moon is her watchdog.

Again, That doesn't explain whats going on in space.

[Volsung]

I'm with Jynx on this one, although for all I know it could turn out to be another visitable world or something entirely different. The wineport quest also mentions one of them seems to be getting bigger (closer?)

[yukaru]

there's another thread like this only it suggests as jynx has the moon is a meteor....... since it has changed color and is bigger..... then there is the cid mentioning meteor thing..... so I vote meteor..... and well had other opinions, I said it in the other thread so ... no need to repeat. ^ ^

The smaller moon could be something like this.
