Skyrim’s Moons Hide a Dark Secret

Every game in The Elder Scrolls franchise is steeped in rich lore. This lore ranges from major events like wars to complex astrological subjects like the two moons in Skyrim and prior games. A great thing about TES lore is that it feels somewhat organic because there can be different explanations and interpretations of an event, depending on which culture or race one asks. Each has its own interpretation of why there are two moons orbiting their planet, and how those celestial bodies came to be.
