Constellations
he night sky for northern Tarrians: (please note that this map is not yet completely rendered)
Moons
The Primordian lunar system consists of three moons: Silvernus, Ceruleanus, and Sabus. Silvernus is the white moon of the elves. It waxes and wanes in a precise 29-day cycle. The cycle of Ceruleanus, the blue moon of magic, is quicker than her larger sister, moving from new to full and back to new exactly 15 times a year. Sabus, the black moon of fate, walks the skies in an unpredictable manner. It's location can nought be predicted. When all three moons are full, transcendent events are likely to occur. The dawn of the world was harkened by all three moons, each a full disk in the sky, rising at dawn together.

The following yearly northern calendars are available:
Mysterian Time Reckoning
Mysterian Week
Mysterian Months
Southern nations, notably the Empire of Mysteria, use a calendar that is based on the cycle of Ceruleanus. This calendar has no Midsummer festival and consists of 15 months. Months are not measured by the rising and setting of the sun, but rather when Ceruleanus is new.
