Children of the Full Moon
Seasons
The Nephite’s separate their dates into seasons
and then phases of the moon.
Season of Home Coming
Time of Year: Spring
Waves: Occasional rough waves, otherwise calm.
Description: The months in which younglings are born, and
the children of the sea who are born on land come back to their families.
Season of Calm
Time of Year: Summer
Waves: As per the months name they are calm and often very
warm.
Description: Months of raising and work, seen often as
a time to get the most done while the seas are less turbulent.
Season of Farewell
Time of Year: Fall
Waves: Turbulence, though not as severe as Season of Storms
Description: A time of sadness, where child are left by
the creatures of the sea in the hopes of their survival, and in which the
seas lose their calm nature in favor of storms once more.
Season of Storms
Time of Year: Winter
Waves: Rough waves
Description: Seen as both the time of hardest living, and
yet the greatest attunement to Mizu-O who presides over storms. It is a
time of striving for stability and coming closer to the divine.
Moon Phases
Not every egg hatches on the same day within the
month they come to life, so children can be born in different phases of
the moon. Each phase of the moon cycles 4 times in each season. So when
stating your birth it would look like: Season of Storms, 2nd Crescent Moon
(waning).
Crescent Moon (waxing)
Those of a mystical disposition, they are keenly aware of the world beyond
and have an apt sense of life and things around them. They are positive
in aspect and tend to look for ways to better the lives of themselves or
others through their astute knowledge’s.
Half Moon (waxing)
Delegates and balancers, those of this moon are often of a calm nature and
find themselves helping sort out disputes. They are the most likely to consider
the point of views of others, and are patient in weighing all costs. They
seek to use this gift to help all live together harmoniously.
Gibbous Moon (3/4ths moon, waxing)
Inspiration, socialism, life itself is what those of this moon love. They
seek to immerse themselves in stories, to dance till the late night hours,
and in general revel in what life can offer them.
Full Moon
Warriors, seekers of the path of blood. They are fierce protectors, strong
lovers and dedicated to using their inner fury to ensure what they want
from life for themselves and their loved ones. Though not necessarily always
weapon wielding fighters they are still strong in mind and will and are
known to do anything for what they believe in.
Gibbous Moon ( 3/4ths moon, waning)
Those of this moon understand life, reveling and what if can do for them.
They enjoy the dark side of living, perhaps even so far as sadism, or masochism,
they are still vibrant and social- but in a fashion that sets people ill
at ease.
Half Moon (waning)
Calm, rigorous, like lawyers they seek out details and tear apart arguments.
It is impossible for them to be wrong, even when you’re right. They
make shrewd mentally warriors and have little care to cushion you with words.
To them, the only way for everyone to function is if they can see the facts,
and then delegate upon them properly.
Crescent Moon (waning)
Ambition, a need to create something from nothing. They are in tune with
the world beyond, but in a manner that is craven. They will bend anything;
take any risk to see something through. They understand death, and the need
for war in life; they are also most likely to be fast learners in their
pursuit of something greater then their meager lives.
No Moon
Those who never take life seriously. Unlike the Gibbous moon they not only
revel in life, they question it. They seek to answer the whys and the how’s,
and to help others see their answers. Often mistaken for careless tricksters
their ways can teach something if you can get past your annoyance to see
it.
