The sun travels once around Oerth
in 364 days, visiting the 12 Lairs of the Zodiac in an appointed round
that never varies. The Great Moon, called Luna, waxes and wanes in fixed cycles of
28 days (Luna's cycle
governs lycanthropy). Each lunar cycle marks the passage of one month, which is further
subdivided into
four weeks of seven days each.
The Lesser Moon, Celene, follows a path that reveals her full beauty but four times each
year, thus showing
the time of the festivals.
