Harleuis

Harleuis is the first constellation found in the night sky of Acciphere. It was named after the greatest weapon master on Acciphere called Harleuis since the constellation resembles a man with a sword over his shoulder. It is also one of the most prominent constellations to be visible in Acciphere's night sky since it is formed by many bright stars. But a funny thing about the constellation is that it only appears in the short winter and nowhere else in the rest of the summer.


Society and Belief

Many people believe in the constellation as good luck. Since it barely appears for a couple of weeks or so in a year, people rush out of their houses in the winter season to get a good look at it. They think it's very good luck or bad luck because most of the important events that happen in these past two weeks change the world, in either a negative or positive way. For example, the War of the Kingdoms both started and ended with the arrival of the constellation.

History

The first time the constellation was seen was around 200 KE when a poor man called Umanei and his family started plotting the locations of all the stars in the sky. He was an ardent fan of the cosmos, just like the rest of his family. They all helped him spot major constellations in the sky, like the Harleuis and 67 others. But what was most interesting was that he really used to like Harleuis; he eventually named all 67 after different things in Acciphere, but he couldn't name Harleuis. Because each time he saw the constellation he saw different figures.
The poor man eventually died without naming the constellation, and there was a worldwide frenzy for naming the constellation. Some kings named it after themselves; some named it after the old man. But finally, everyone agreed on naming it the Harleuis as a proper salutation to the amazing swordsman. And ever since, it hasn't changed.
