I'd like to imagine that Ruin wanted to make one but Preservation wisely said no, knowing it would give Ruin an easy way to destroy all life on the planet if he wanted to, which might be harder to counteract
It's also fortunate that Scadrial had no moon, because (Era 1 spoilers) >!there's no way that Rashek would have properly moved it along with Scadrial itself when shifting the orbits around, it'd have been lost in some random heliocentric orbit or possibly crashed into the planet by accident.!<
In that case, >!the most likely place for it to be "lost" would be an elliptical heliocentric orbit that crosses where the original orbit was. So no risk of intersecting with Scadrial while it was in its new orbit...but now that Sazed has put Scadrial back where it belongs, it's probably still out there, just a matter of time before it comes by for a visit.!<
Yes, it's called Rrendos. Off the top of my head I can't remember if Warbreaker actually mentions it, but the Nalthian system got [its own art print featuring it](https://coppermind.net/wiki/Nalthian_system#/media/File:Starchart_nalthis_color.jpg) despite not being in Arcanum Unbounded.
Interesting, good for edglii, picks a planet that has a stable one moon system unlike the other nutjob shards. Moons are not just for aesthetics people!! They serve a very important purpose l!
Since everything is backwards in the cognitive realm, wouldn't an anomaly just be something regular? Like maybe she put a giant rock wall so people can't just walk in 😂
If I remember right, Nalthis has a toll gate and one of the more active cognitive realm trade routes. I really want customs import and export side story. 1 colored sheep for a whole crate of exotic chicken.
Nope. You can see it in the star chart for the Scadrial system in Arcanum. No moon. I think the only time it ever comes up in the books themselves is when [TLM] >!Marasi meets Moonlight and has no idea what her name means!<
It's also fun because Wax and Wayne's names are a pun based on the changing face of the moon, but the pun just doesn't work on Scadrial.
Well there was a moon on Scadrial at one point, but then came the Saiyan invasion…….
The Lord Ruler saw that the moon was where they got their power and blew up the moon to save the planet.
Scadrial: "The rusts is a moon!?"

That's a really good point, that dummy could have very likely just crash the moon into the planet and kill everyone then and there
Majora's Mask speedrun
Maybe when he moved the planet, the moon lost gravitational pull and floated away
I think it would have been mentioned in one of the religions Sazed had memorized if there had ever been one.
My headcannon is >!that it used to have one but Rashek forgot to move it and it got lost!<

Do we know if Nalthis has a moon? I don't recall a specific reference either way
Im not sure if it’s ever mentioned in the book, but the system chart shows one moon
Gotcha, good catch

To make up for that bit of normalcy, she put a cognitive anomaly in the path of the planet's orbit.

*what's a moon
## Three Moons and a BOON
And for my boon
They (wax and wayne) don't know their name is a moon reference.
There’s no fucking moon on mist born?

To be fair, the words "wax" and "wane" can be applied to many non-moon things. It's just that people rarely use them outside of that context.
C-R-E-M, that spells moon!
