Just the Red Moon. It's like a cone of "unlight" projected from a point source orbiting the moon. See Greg Stafford's article and map in Tales #16 for more details.

You seem not to have noticed what I said. No Gloranthan IMO believes that the moon or planets shine by reflecting sunlight (as they do in the RW). The manner in which the light of other heavenly bodies is related to Yelm and/or Aether (etc.) is more of a spiritual thing.
In other words, since the White Moon won't shine by reflecting sunlight, why should she be dark at night (the most logical time for her to be visible)?

To confound them and make them poo their pants. Whyever else?
