The 'star-wounded East' gained its name when the Heart fell from the sky like a meteor, crashing into the Vvardenfell region in ancient times. It appears in other cultures as concepts such as Heart of Shor, the 'hunger' of Sep, and others. Masser and Secunda therefore are the personifications of the dichotomy-the Cloven Duality, according to Artaeum-that Lorkhan legends often rail against: ideas of the anima/animus, good/evil, being/nothingness, the poetry of the body, throat, and moan/silence-as-the-abortive, and so on, all set in the night sky as Lorkhan's constant reminder to his mortal issue of their duty. The Heart of Lorkhan was the 'divine spark' of the deity most commonly known by his Aldmeri name, Lorkhan.

except where the Eight lent portions of their heavenly bodies to create the mortal plane(t), Lorkhan's was cracked asunder and his divine spark fell to Nirn as a shooting star to impregnate it with the measure of its existence and a reasonable amount of selfishness. Like the rest of the Gods, Lorkhan was a plane(t) that participated in the Great Construction. In short, the Moons were and are the two halves of Lorkhan's flesh-divinity. We all have our favorite Lorkhan story and our favorite Lorkhan motivation for the creation of Nirn, as well as our favorite story of what happened to His Heart, but the Theory of the Lunar Lorkhan is of special note. I will not go into the varying accounts of what happened at Adamantine Tower, nor will I relate the War of Manifest Metaphors that rendered those stories unable to support most qualities of what is commonly known as narrative. Contained within Shalidor's Library, these books are part of the subcollection Divines and Deities The Lunar Lorkhan is a Book in Elder Scrolls Online.
