Moons
- The moons hold to 28 day cycles, divided into four luminations.
- The Flourishing Lumination of a moon is when it is waxing in light.
- The Splendid Lumination of a moon is when it achieves fullness during the central three days of that lumination.
- The Withering Lumination of a moon is when it is waning in light.
- The Dead Lumination of a moon is when it fades entirely from the sky during the central three days of that lumination.
