I'm going to go with a natural lunar eclipse where the moons where placed just so so that the sun could not reflect light off of them. No idea how this continued for 2 years though. Maybe somtething to do with the limited axial tilt, perhaps?

Anyway, this happend before and due to astrographical calculations is was detrmined when the Moons would re-appear and the Thalmor took advantage of that information.

As for the Khajiit, you'll have to wait until someone writes some Lore about that time. The other idea is that it became simply impossible for them to concieve. THAT would heighten the saviour-worship of the Thalmor.
