Caerova

(Legacy Content)
Caerova is the sixth of Alore's moons, and is the largest of all seven orbiting bodies. The moon itself is known for two things, being its large, planet-like size, and its role in the Night of the Hollow Eye, where once every year the moon eclipses Alore's sun with the Hollow Eye constellation behind it in a straight line pointing at the planet, causing a number of strange phenomena.

Geography

The surface of Caerova is a near perfectly pearlescent white, with wide, sweeping stone plains, and tall mountain ranges. Surprisingly, the surface is almost entirely unmarked by impact craters. This has been speculated to be because of the relatively fast speed at which the moon orbits Alore, which - alongside its strong gravity - seems to slingshot asteroids out of Alore's gravity well before they can hit anything in the system.
