Day of a Thousand Stars

A festival celebrated by the devout of the Moth and Raven masked goddesses, involving appreciations and mimicry of natural beauty and scientific understandings of the heavens. Members of the Moth Masked Cult will decorate clothing, masks, and even their homes with representations of stars, constellations, and other such astronomic objects, and the great monasteries dedicated to the production of silk and raising of moths there will occasionally be the Birth of a Servant of the Moth. A great cocoon will appear, and it will be tended to by the adherents, and will be the centerpiece of a Comet Showing, at the end of which it will hatch into one of the Greater Moths, and go about its mistress' will. Members of the Raven cult, whilst still acknowledging the beauty of the astral formations, will primarily focus on the arcane meanings behind the astral tapestry. The creation of new star-charts is usually the primary focus of the the core of Astronima, in the Observatories in Whitepine, Chillscar, and Innismoore, but the other Greater and Lesser towers of the Raven primarily focus on what these new patterns in the stars mean in terms of prophecy and how they may affect the usage of magical rituals, or how they may lead wizards into creating new rituals and spells. Regardless of which Cult you are a member of or which of the individual traditions you follow, all those who celebrate this holy day will be outside when midnight strikes, for that is when they will witness the glory of the two goddesses at work, wiping clean the black slate of the sky and replacing all that was with what now shall be, new stars and their formations being simply the most significant and easiest to see part of the working.

History

A yearly celebration, set on the 20th of Fator, it starts when the sun sets, and lasts until it rises the next morning. It is signified by the stars rippling and changing color, forming new constellations and nebulae. The two goddesses of the night sky work together to alter the night sky, moving stars and constelations and making them glow brighter and more colorfully.
