As I was writing today, I began to think it would be interesting if my world had a broken moon. As someone with a basic understanding of gravity I am really not sure how this would impact gravity/tides etc? Also how tis would impact the life on the planet?
I came up with this idea b/c the dominant race on my world are grey skinned giants who worship what they call the Endless Spiral (solar system, stars) and the Origin (sun). In their society everything ties back into the Endless Spiral - their magic, the way they track time, they way though view life and death and spirits.
So I thought it could be interesting if they believe that the broken moon (they call Broken God) sacrificed part of himself to form the Endless Spiral that has become the stars and solar system.
This idea is still rough as I just thought of it today so any feedback or questions are welcome
