Lunar Calendar

Two moons orbit this world.

Mannslieb

Mannslieb ('Beloved of Manann' in Old Reikspiel) is the world's natural moon, as opposed to Morrslieb. Also known as the white moon, it keeps a regular 25-day cycle from full to full. In times of yore, early tribesmen observed the regular orbit of Mannslieb and the eternal cycle of spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Morrslieb

Morrslieb ("Beloved of Morr" in Old Reikspiel) is the green moon, and the dark twin of Mannslieb. It has an erratic cycle, unpredictably appearing smaller or larger in the sky. In times of disaster, some claim to see a mocking, twisted face appear on its surface. Morrslieb heralds great misfortune when it appears close. The following Lunar Calendar can be used to determine the lunar phase of Mannslieb on any given date, and also the probability of Morrslieb being visible on that date. Morrslieb is only certain to be visible on the two festival days of 'Hexenstag' and 'Geheimsstag', but it can randomly appear on any day as its orbit is unpredictable. However, it does make an appearance more frequently towards the winter and summer soltice.
