Vishteer’s moons

There are two moons which circle Vishteer and are visible above Miraboria, Mistland and Narbada.

The larger, Red Moon (called the Bloodmoon or Mikar’s Chariot) waxes and wanes on a 28 day cycle. It has a reddish coloration and a smooth dull surface. When it is low on the horizon it can appear blood-red. It has an evil reputation, and things done under the full light of this moon are considered unlucky, or doomed to fail ultimately. Note that while the moon itself appears reddish, the moonlight it gives is quite similar to that produced by Sithlar's Boat and contains very little reddish tint.

The second moon is much smaller. It waxes and wanes on an 11 day cycle and circles the sky more rapidly (it takes exactly 24 hours, thus this moon always rises at 10 pm and sets at 10 am over Greenvale). It is called the Silver Moon, or Sithlar’s Boat. This moon is Vishteer’s timekeeper. When people speak of doing something before or after moonrise or moonset, it is this moon of which they are speaking, almost never the Bloodmoon.
