What Remains of the Moon

"...and so stands the Chosen Hero, on the summit of Mount Hyrenx, thunder

crackling loudly as he tightly clenches on the grip of Addemant. Face to face with

The Great Devourer, towering over the devastated landscape, each footstep shaking the earth to

it's very core, but resolve does not waver. Our hero seeks his inner strenght. The meager remains of

sprawling cities in the distance a reminder of what was lost, and the looming future of all.

As The Great Devourer prepares a powerful lunge, it's movements slow, but steady

and massive, the Chosen Hero utters the unspoken words under his breath, and

the next instant, the very air is split from above, as all the clouds and thunder clear away to reveal

the Moon, and below the Moon, The Great Devourer, both now pierced by a ray of pure hardlight

that illuminated the world in pure white for a moment, before shattering and allowing

the darkness to consume it all again. The Moon now shattering away, with a deep red glow through

what once was the center, faintly illuminates the smitten mass of The Great Devourer, which appeared

to collapse in slow motion as the scorched chunks of deep stone shook the ground, leaving

a new mountain in the spot..."

Mod Overview

This mod replaces the moon textures for a version where it's shattered in the sky, millenia after it was shattered and millenia before it congeals back into a single body.

Very simple mod but I wanted something interesting in the sky and figured I'd put some actual effort into the texture and upload it.

The Moon ends up being smalled, because although I made the texture twice as big, the game scales it into the same size, and the only way to increase the scale would be to replace all the weather assets which hold the scale values, but that would mean the mod would not be compatible with other weather mods. As it stands right now, the mod should work with any new weather added by other mods as long as it uses the default moon texture.

Screenshots

Let me know if there is desire for a version where there are no phases and every night is a "full" Moon. I can upload that as a secondary file.
