       Celestial bodies and moons

       Faerun has two satellites. The first satellite, that the Yellow
       Rose calls "Tygg" is pictured here:

       This moon orbits every 27 days and has a very circular orbit. It
       appears larger than Earth's Moon in the sky, but has a similar
       phase cycle. Like Earth's moon, Drahmé is tidally locked with
       Faerun, meaning only one face of it is ever visible.
       The second satellite only appears clearly in the night sky for 5
       days every 10 years. This moon is named "Tulok" It's appearance
       always marks the coming of some tragedy. Its size in the sky
       varies widely during the 5 days when it is visible, reaching its
       largest extent at perigee. During this period, the satellite is
       large enough that some surface features can be discerned with
       the naked eye. The large crater is constantly emitting bright
       red light, so as the satellite rotates (once every 10 minutes or
       so), it appears to flash red as the crater comes about to face
       Faerun.
