I think the idea is, there's this big ball up there, okay? Half glows red, half is covered with darkness. It spins. It takes a week to finish spinning. When you look up, you see some moon that's glowing red, some moon that's black. If you go up to the moon, you can walk into the dark side, but (a) there's a lot of bad stuff there, and (b) you'll have trouble finding your way around because it's dark.

I recognize that this may not be the most common Glorantha, but it makes perfect sense to *me*...
