<< 'Elder Secrets and Cults of Prax disagree on the Red Moon's visibility
outside the Lunar Empire. Outside the Glowline, the Red Moon is visible a
little over the horizon. Inside the Glowline the Red Moon is somewhat smaller,
but is high in the heavens, at the border of the middle and upper skies.'
Drastic - Prax
Outside the Lunar Empire (where most campaigns I would think are set) am I right in thinking there appears to be little which would light up the 'Sky at Night.'>>
Not IMO. While the Red Moon is lower in the sky outside the Glowline, its
still quite visible, according to Greg - and indeed, the piece you quote - and
the RW moon is still fairly bright when its near the horizon as when its
higher in the sky. The Red Moon is only actually invisible on the 'wrong'
slopes of certain mountain ranges - because the mountains would block out the
relevant horizon.
Prior to the rise of the Red Moon, the brightest object in the night sky is,
AFAIK, Tolat (aka Shargash, Bronze Treasure, etc.) which is probably only as
bright as a thin crescent RW moon, if that.

<<What about the sky? I thought Yelmalio, Elmal, Dayzatar or whoever would the
Shining Sky. Shouldn't there be at least some light even if sun, moon and
stars would be absent?>>
Yes, if it weren't for Xentha getting in the way and glooming darkly enough to block it out.
Forward the glorious Red Army!
