NOTE

This has been changed. The moons are now called Silvermoon and Goldmoon. Silvermoon is the apparent size of earth's moon in the sky. It is a silvery white color and its cycle corresponds to about about 25 days. Goldmoon is about one eleventh the apparent size and orbits Asdar on a smaller, inner orbit than Silvermoon.

The names of the divinities have also been altered.

Midretassene
Luspa, Zela
Jathya-Dhumi
Lankti, Ziri

The two moons together are called the Sisters.


Sunmoon is recognizably larger than any other heavenly body other than the sun and significantly brighter than its companion, Starmoon. Astronomers observe that Sunmoon is closer to Asdar than Starmoon and its orbit considerably swifter, each full orbit of Sunmoon was anciently reckoned as a "Sunmonth," corresponding to the fifteen Months of the Common Year. Thus, the orbit of Sunmoon is about twenty five (25) days (24.366 exactly).

The goddess Bralla is associated with Sunmoon.
