For ages, the people of
Teréth End have charted the movements of its
three moons across the night sky. The importance
of these moons and their impact on the lives of those
on the world below cannot be understated. From
the measuring of months and years, to the warping of
battlefield magics, each of the three moons have played
important roles in history.
Perhaps the most significant
event among stargazers is a Convergence of the three
moons. A Convergence occurs when all three moons
appear simultaneously in their full phase. Convergence
occurs ever forty years or more, always on the New Year.
More important than a Convergence (but also much
more rare) is a True Convergence, when each of the full
moons appears in the same location. A True Convergence
occurs when Woad's shadow can be seen on the face of
Mamra, and Nuléun's shadow can be seen on the
face of Woad. True Convergences are very rare,
occurring on average during 1 out of 100 regular Convergences.
During a True Convergence, magic has been known
to fail worldwide with catastrophic consequences. Luckily,
the event is often over soon after it occurs.
