[[File:Moons_over_high_passes_by_asanee04.jpg|thumb|300px|Twin moons shining over the [[High Passes]], as imagined by asanee04.]] The '''Twin Moons''' of [[Innworld]] are more than just astronomical curiousities. == Appearance == The twin moons may appear light blue and pale yellow,<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2016/07/30/1-02/ Chapter 1.02]</ref> and at other times they appear pale blue and yellowish-green.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/11/03/5-34/ Chapter 5.34]</ref> They are regularly referred to as ''the twin moons''. They wax and wane in different intervals,<ref name ="5.35H">[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/11/06/5-35-h/ Chapter 5.35 H]</ref> which are apparently used as a way of timekeeping for Innworlders,<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/04/13/6-07-d/ Chapter 6.07 D]</ref> and every farmer knows how the Innworld's lunar cycle works. The event that both moons are full simultaneously may happen every odd month or so.<ref>Compare [https://wanderinginn.com/2018/11/17/5-38/ Chapter 5.38]: The first twin full moon mentioned in the story explicitly; with [https://wanderinginn.com/2019/07/27/6-34-e/ Chapter 6.34 E]: six days to the next full twin moons on "day 52". Four days later, in [https://wanderinginn.com/2019/08/24/6-40-e/ Chapter 6.40 E], the twin moons were still not significant in any way. According to [https://wanderinginn.com/2019/09/10/6-43-e/ Chapter 6.43 E], 2 days after that twin full moon: one moon was waxing, one moon was waning.</ref> There is the exception of the Solstices, which always have two full moons throughout the day until they wax and wane like normal once more.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/11/22/9-66/ Chapter 9.66]</ref> The blue moon seems to take much much longer for its cycle, as "the blue moon" occurs only very rarely.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/06/01/5-21-d/ Chapter 6.21 D], [https://wanderinginn.com/2019/10/15/6-49/ Chapter 6.49]</ref> == Mystical effects == Full moons influence the [[Raskghar]]: On average, there are six days and nights each month when they become more intelligent and sapient than during the rest of the time. If not only one moon is full but both of them (which happens more rarely),<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/07/27/6-34-e/ Chapter 6.34 E]</ref> that effect increases. Clear sight of the moons isn't necessary for that effect: cloudy weather or daytime doesn't impede the Raskghar.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/11/17/5-38/ Chapter 5.38]</ref> If they eat a [[Gnolls]]' heart, they remain intelligent independently from the lunar cycle.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/12/08/5-44/ Chapter 5.44]</ref> Full moons can also have importance for [Witch] rituals and their great workings, as this is the time of the height of their strengths.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/09/17/6-45-e/ Chapter 6.45 E], [https://wanderinginn.com/2019/09/21/6-46-e/ Chapter 6.46 E]</ref> Alchemists can only use moon dew when one moon is waxing.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/04/14/2-12/ Chapter 2.12]</ref> Some rare classes can be obtained during double full moons, such as [Lunar Swordsman].<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/04/04/interlude-paradigm-shift-pt-1/ Interlude - Paradigm Shift (Pt. 1)]</ref> To [[Frost Faeries]], the moon cycle also has some significance.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/08/15/3-04/ Chapter 3.04]</ref> == Moon expeditions == [[Flos]] can't say he heard of mages who endeavored walking on the twin moons,<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2016/10/26/interlude-king-edition/ Interlude - King Edition]</ref> indicating that the knowledge of [[Elves]] and [[Gnomes]] both having walked on them is limited. [[Teriarch]] knows of that event.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/07/22/2-39/ Chapter 2.39]</ref> == Further References == * By the [[United Nations]]<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/04/09/6-06-d/ Chapter 6.06 D]</ref> * Moonlight as light source at night<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/02/25/1-43/ Chapter 1.43], [https://wanderinginn.com/2017/03/01/1-44/ Chapter 1.44], [https://wanderinginn.com/2019/04/02/6-04-d/ Chapter 6.04 D]</ref> * Offhand mentions with only a single moon present<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/06/11/2-29/ Chapter 2.35], [https://wanderinginn.com/2017/09/30/3-19-t/ Chapter 3.19 T], [https://wanderinginn.com/2018/10/23/5-31-g/ Chapter 5.31 G], [https://wanderinginn.com/2019/02/09/5-58/ Chapter 5.58]</ref> * Offhand mentions as twin moons<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/05/31/2-26/ Chapter 2.31], [https://wanderinginn.com/2019/03/26/6-02/ Chapter 6.02]</ref> * In proverbs: ''so. moving the moons'',<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/12/03/6-61-l/ Chapter 6.61 L]</ref> ''obvious as the moon''<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/09/19/3-14/ Chapter 3.14]</ref> == References == <references /> [[Category:Locations]] [[Category:Terminology]]
