Moons of Neyush

Two former lovers, locked in an eternal race to reach the sun

Neyush has two natural moons, Azhini and Kin, named for the first people to walk the planet, according to ancient T'illik'eye mythology. They believed that the two watched over the planet, provided conditions for healthy life, and protected them from serious dangers.

As is fitting for the matriarchal T'illik'eye society, Azhini is still to this day considered the more dominant of the two moons. She regularly covers Kin completely in a Dual Eclipse, just over every two months.

Following on from that, Azhini is also usually associated with creation and the Spheres generally concerned with an increase of some aspect. Kin was always viewed as having more to do with the opposing, decrease-focused Spheres.
