11-17-07, 10:40 PM Eberron has 12 moons and a *ring*, and yet there are few to no good pictures of the Eberron night sky.

So, I made one.

You can check it out at this address (http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2006-2/1152236/EberronNightSkybyLucasJohnson.jpg). It's made entirely using photoshop.

Enjoy!

11-24-07, 12:31 PM No hate from here. That's actually pretty cool--but none of the moons would be that big, I think. Also, the bright stars in mine are actually the Bahamut constellation! :)

You'd be surprised. A few calculations will show you that the moons of Eberron look huge. Although it seems to have disappeared now, the picture Dox posted seems like a pretty good representation.

Of course, in Eberron Night Sky thread I am obligated to remind people about the wonders of Celestia (http://www.shatters.net/celestia), and the Eberron mod on the Eberron Bestiary (http://www.eberronbestiary.com) (just click Features and scroll to the bottom).

Here are a couple of screenshots from an early build (I really should update them...):

Zarantyr is on the right:

11-25-07, 03:02 PM Where do you get the information on the relative sizes of the moons? Cuz that's pretty cool.

I guess from here (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ebds/20050307a) and some calculations done on his own.

Cheers, LT.

11-26-07, 09:17 AM I'd like to add that the website article gave distances for some moons within Eberron's Roche limit and violating Kepler's laws. But hey, it's fantasy, not reality. :)
