Star constellations

The following Star Signs constitute the Zodiac Signs which can be observed from the northern hemisphere. They are listed in the sequence of their visibility and prominence on the night sky, starting in the first month of the year, Janishall:

• Misthenia's Crossing
• Persephola's Chalice
• Tenbesi's Shield
• Hesperidon's Eye
• Ophestis, Heaven's Throne
• Besalom's Anvil
• Ephelum, the Great Scale
• Beltezza's Needle
• Glombarlom's Plow
• Abenassu's Quill
• Entos Pestia, Crown of the Night Sky
• Mantos' Chariot

Furthermore, there are several other Star Signs of note and they are as follows: Big Horseshoe, Caelestra Meldor, Crimson Ark, Eastern Helmet, Elustella, Leaping Leopard, Malachite Serpent, Northern Bridge, Pygnoscellum Veperi, Small Needle, Southern Wheel, Western Altar, Young Sparrow.
At times, a few planets can be seen on the firmament as well, occasionally but seldomly without the aid of telescopes, but most of the time solely with the aid of these astronomical apparatuses and only under the right circumstances. Merely the most obscure scientists have made it their lives' calling to map the course of the planets and the encounters with these celestial bodies are few and far between and some even measured in years. Should one of these planetary travellers become visible to the naked eye at the sky it surely is a rare event, which is not seldomly draped in superstitious gossip, sure to captivate the minds of peasants and nobles alike.
Closest to us is Anguis, which can frequently be seen in the spring and autumn months of each year. Bi-annualy as its orbit is much closer to the sun than Calethos' orbit is.
Only occasionally Midacha, with its mighty ring system, can be seen on the night sky.
Alas, Capacidae and Zaemeus can only be observed through telescopes and at intervals measuring years.
Calethos is orbited by two moons: Chaldea, which is the larger of the two and Kraimon.
