There's a hint of second, 'hidden' moon!

A long time ago (last year?)I was talking in yet another WotC thread about how it would make sense if there is a pitch-black moon belonging to Shar in Toril's orbit. After all, both Chauntea and Selune have 'heavenly bodies' to represent them, so why wouldn't Shar, being a fellow primordial FR god, have one as well? As Selune's opposite, it would make perfect sense that she would have a Black moon, to offset Selune's Shining one.

Then I came across this in the FRCG this morning (pg. 86) -

The Inner Sea was once four separate bodies of water until the batrachi realm of Kolophoon was devastated nearly 33,000 years ago. Scholars generally hold that a chunk of Toril’s second moon struck Faerûn at that time.

Accent, Mine. I looked around elsewhere, and noted that the description of the other planets in the Sea of Night excerpt (I think it was a sidebar) - they were referred to as 'visible planets'.

Weird, huh? It seems that there was/is a second moon, as I speculated all those months ago, and that perhaps the planets we know of aren't the only one out there.

Well poop, does this mean that Toril has a "Nuitari" too? Just when I thought that they wouldn't draw any more parallels between the Realms and Dragonlance...
