Is there a moon in your Doskvols?

1. Mine has both a sun and moon. You just can’t see either through the permanent clouds of ash blanketing the sky.

   (That’s also why the water is black)

2. Here’s my far-from-canonical take for my setting: https://fictivefantasies.wordpress.com/2015/07/22/blades-in-the-dark-what-happened-to-the-world/

   So, yes, there is a moon in mine. =)

3. I got sick of not being able to say “the next morning” without sparking an internal debate, so (personal head canon) the sun is up there, but just looks permanently eclipsed. Like, there’s an ugly weak corona of light up there, at best.

4. I’ve been playing with a full day/night cycle, but with the sun as a pale, weak thing. By day the sky is a dull gray, enough to see by but kind of grotty and depressing, as you might get during serious rain or storms, or during twilight hours (I originally come from a place where twilight lasts quite a while, so your mileage on what “twilight” means may vary). In Doskvol, at least, it’s also accompanied by heavy fog that sinks back into the ground at night.

   By night the sky is pitch black and starless. To answer the question you actually asked, I had never even thought about whether there’s a moon or not. It somehow never occured to me. I suppose it might be up there in the darkness, too dim to really make out most nights.

5. I’ve explained it to my brother this way: at midday in the Shattered Isles, the ambient light is about half of a fully overcast day IRL. equivalent to maybe an hour after the sun goes down. So there’s completely dark, slightly less dark, and gray dark.

6. Wonderful and different answers!. Love the style of the game setting text, with all the small nuggets that make you to put your own spin on things.
