there is apparently another inhabited world?

What if Sornieth is in our solar system.
There's a gas giant there that looks like a somewhat artistic portrayal of Saturn, and a generic grey rock that could be an asteroid, a dwarf planet (it resembles the bluish constructions of Pluto from a while back), or Sornieth's own moon.
The question is: Is Sornieth based on a real planet?
-Mars could resemble Sornieth from one of its post-apocalyptic eras
-Venus is often thrown around as another "once-habitable" planet, and is certainly chaotic enough to fit somewhere on Sornieth's timeline. However, it's certainly not "in creation," and I don't think Arcanist can see through those clouds.
-One could perceive it as a yet-undiscovered habitable moon of a gas giant, but wouldn't a giant floating orb be mentioned in lore?
Honestly, from an artistic perspective, if Sornieth were to exist in our solar system, the most likely candidate might be "Planet X" [s]or whatever its called right now[/s]. Most people have no idea what it's like, so it's easy to make up a fantasy world on it without sounding completely stupid. In fact, up until recently, everyone would assume it's just fantasy with no connections whatsoever to Earth, never finding the "true" location due to it being based on a conspiracy theory.
[s]but hey that's just a theory... a game theory[/s]

Sornieth is actually about 3x bigger than Earth! So it's not any of our Rocky Planets.
'Planet X' is actually a bunch of tiny Dwarf Planets, like Pluto. Off the top of my head there's Eris, Haumea, and Makemake after Pluto and I know there's a load more with and without names. The biggest asteroid in the asteroid belt, Ceres, is technically a Dwarf Planet too! If we had a 'superearth' planet out there you can bet we would have seen it already. I mean, we can see planets around other stars! ^^
The closest analogue to Sornieth sizewise is probably Gliese 1214b. It's a [i]little [/i]less than 3x the size but the only one I could find any information on in the right size area. It's actually the planet that's speculated to be a 'waterworld'. ^^ Certainly could be Tidelord's influence, heheh.
Interestingly, Gliese 1214b orbits the star Gliese 1214, which is in the Ophiuchus constellation. A serpent. And what were old-timey dragons called, hmm? Haha, I just thought that was neat.
None of this is relevant to the moons though.

Okay but??? I really like this idea, the moon could be devoured slowly by the Shade or something.

I love this thread. I'm always up to read space theories (even if about a fictional world).
But yeah I'd kinda think one would have a wonky orbit so it's either on the opposite side of the world from the other moon or just waaay out of most dragons' sight (except Arcanist's) most of the time. That or one orbits the other like someone else said so no one can really agree whether it's the moon's moon or just another moon as a whole. Or what @
Kismet said and it's debated on whether the second moon can actually be called a moon or it's just a hunk of space debris.
But of course the more interesting options of a shade-moon or disintegrating moon are also very nice. Both of these theories are honestly really cool though I'm not entirely sure how they'd be explained other than ~~*+magic+*~~ . (Then again this is a planet full of dragons and magic creatures we're talking about so... Some of the arcane energy from them and Spacedad's various bad decisions has probably taken hold of the area around the planet and effected objects in the vicinity.)

Its also possible that there were 2 normal moons, but during a totally normal experiment that was definitely safe you guys in the Observatory something ... happened.
Now the real debate is does that moon only sometimes exist? Is it a fake moon and a coverup from a massive mistake understandable accident? The Arcanist will never admit to anything.

Maybe it's halfway between a ring and a moon. Like, during some part of the orbit it's a bunch of debris, then at some point all the debris gets slowed down and runs into each other and gets sucked into a cohesive shape. Then later in the orbit some centrifugal force, either from orbit or rotation, slowly pulls the mass apart again and it becomes a bunch of little bits of debris.
