Celestial Bodies

Moraenne has 1 sun and 3 moons.

The Sun

In the common tongue, the sun is called “Pelorian” and is worshiped by many of the followers of Pelor as his literal celestial home.

The Moons

The three moons are collectively known as the “Three Daughters” and are individually known as:

  • Celena – The smallest of the moons with a blue-grey marbled look.
  • Aisha – The medium sized green moon with an intense luminosity.
  • Deva – The largest of the moons with a reddish brown and very pockmarked surface.

Moonmeet – When the 3 moons are visible in the sky at the same time, it’s known as “Moonmeet”. Many a rite and ritual is performed under the shimmering of the three moons and it’s believed that these nights represent the apex of natural magic on Edarion. The magic of Moonmeets are often accompanied by magical vortexes, otherworldly gates, shifting earth, portalstorms, and the bending of reality.

Darknight – Several times a year, there are cycles where no moon appears in the night sky, these are known as “Darknights”, and often portend the foulest creatures slinking from their lairs and wreaking havoc on those who dwell in the light.

Constellations

Those who dare to travel such places as the Mer, the Grain Sea and the Mist Fens, often navigate through scrying the constellations. Specialized oracles known as “Pathfinders” can be hired to commune with the pantheon of constellations in search of direction. There are rumors that these navigators draw their a abilities from being blessed by a patron star upon their birth, although you would be hard pressed to get a pathfinder to admit it.

Several well known constellations include the Whirlpool, the Laughing Dog, the Blind Man, the Great Blade, the Stag, the Flame, and the the Wounded Dragon.
