This world is made up of multiple celestial bodies that take their places in the skies; during the day, there exists three suns and at night, there exists five moons. Each one has special properties that either take place every certain number of years, or during each of the listed months.

The Celestial Suns The Sun, Astéri The first sun, which the following two appear to "revolve" around. The way this sun works is as one would expect. During the day, it offers light and heat to those that walk upon the world, allowing crops to grow and those who stand within its light not to freeze to death. Although this sun appears to be special, due to the fact that it has multiple sorts of "phases" that it goes through.
• Normal: The sun looks like it normally should; a great ball of light. Always looks like this during the months of Purity's Blessings, Earth's Rebirth, Fertility's Fortune, Seedsow, and Godsgivings. During this time, the sun instead shows “normal” phases, which are as follows;
◦ Brightened: The sun glows much brighter and stronger, sometimes almost scorching the world if proper precautions are not made. Only happens during the month of Sun's Glory.
◦ Ringed: The sun looks eclipsed (despite not being). a black circle with a yellow ring. Only happens during the month of Starfall.
◦ Quartered: The sun will only have a quarter of itself visible, limiting light greatly and making it seem as if the rest of it has disappeared. Only happens during Last Dusk, starting at the top and going clockwise as the month goes on.
◦ Flashed: The sun will slowly blink, causing short bursts of darkness in the world. Only happens during the month of Stormtide.
• Awakening: The sun, having slowly eclipsed from the edges to the center over the month of Final Rest, begins to appear once more. Over the course of New Awakening, the sun begins to brighten once more from the center, returning to its full glory by the end of the month.
• Seeress: During the month of Floodfield, the water causes the refraction of light to bounce back to the clouds and hit the sun. Those with prophetic abilities are able to gaze into the sun during these times in order to glimpse into the future, though what they see is always random. Happens at least ten times during the month.
• Veiled: During the month of Bridesday, the sun seems to glow brighter, the reflection bouncing off the other two suns appearing to give it a black and green colored veil, much like a bride has. During this time, the sunlight is filtered and appears to be black and green, its rays shining in places that those blessed with marriage can stand.
• Falling: During the month of Saint's Fall, the sun appears to set much faster, making the days shorter and the nights longer. Rumors abound that a now lost Saint once saved the Goddess Astéri, and after his sudden disappearance, the goddess ran and hid to hide her tears. Although, none know if this is true or not.
• Shooting: Happens only during the months of Wish’s Ascension and Starfall. Shooting Stars are actually fragments of the sun that fall to earth, pieces that failed to be born into stars and instead fell to this world. Although these are not actually dangerous, and can easily be approached and picked up once they've cooled down. This is how wishes are made.
• Darkened: The sun appears to become much dimmer, almost making it seem as if it's night all the time. This happens only during the whole month of Deadman's Walk, allowing the Undead to freely walk amongst the living with no worries.
• Resting: Over the course of the entire month of Final Rest, the sun begins to "eclipse", starting from its outer edges and slowly closing in over its center. By the end of the month, the entire sun disappears from the sky, returning only during the next month.
The Black Sun, Sidus The second sun that, despite emitting no heat, does appear to emit a black glow. It's roughly half the size of Astéri but is closer to this world, causing it to appear roughly half the size of the main sun in the sky. The best way to describe it is, whenever it glows (whenever Astéri is eclipsed), it acts as a blacklight. Although instead of showing DNA all over the place, it instead opens portals to The Void, allowing the creatures that rest within to come forth. These portals are usually invisible to the naked eye, and difficult to open. But whenever the black sun shines, it opens these portals with ease. Oftentimes, should the creatures in The Void become too powerful, they can directly interfere with this sun, causing it to eclipse Astéri through supernatural means so they're able to escape The Green Sun, Estrela The third sun which, oddly enough, doesn't seem to emit any heat or any sort of glow. In fact it seems to be just like a huge, green ball in the vastness of space. It appears to be about the same size as Sidus in the sky. In truth, this isn't entirely true, and it only appears to be so small because it's actually rather far away (unlike Sidus). While the exact size of it is unknown, it's rumored to be at least ten times the size of Astéri, if not larger. The purpose of this sun is to give this world's Guardian (the one that sealed The Great One in Mahina) its power. Without the sun, the Guardian has no power, and is effectively just like another Human.

The Celestial Moons The Moon, Fengári The moon closest to the world (about twice the size of our own moon, so relatively closer) is Fengári, the eldest son of the God of the Moon, Tsuki. The way this Moon works is rather normal, going through different phases as the months go on. But every certain number of years, it seems to glow in a color different from normal. Each of these colors causes a different effect upon the world, and although none alive have ever seen multiple happen at once before, that doesn't mean it's impossible. These moons always last throughout the entire year (with one exception), meaning that its effects also last that long.
- Normal Moon: The moon is colored white. Nothing truly spectacular happens.
- Harvest Moon: Happens once a year. The moon seems to turn brown. Looks this way during the entire month of Great Harvest, and allows all crops that are planted under its light to grow much faster, bigger and healthier than normal.
- Fertility Moon: Happens once a year, only during the month of Fertility's Fortune. The moon seems to change color to a swirl of red and white. During this phase, the fertility and virility of all applicable races greatly increases. This also causes their average number of children to double. So if one normally has one child, they'd instead have two. If they have an average of ten, this would become twenty. And so on.
- Lover's Moon: Happens once a year, only during the month of Bridesday. The moon seems to change color to pink, and turn a heart shape. This moon is said to be shaped by the Goddess of Love & Marriage herself, to signify that she's watching over all the couples. During this moon, married couples seem to show an even greater affection towards each other, and their abilities are further boosted (by up to x2) during this phase.
- Hunter's Moon: Happens once a year, only during the month of Godsgiving. The moon seems to change color to a light brown, becoming the shape of an arrow's head as the stars form a bow and arrow for it. During this phase, all hunters seem to be blessed by an unknown force. Their arrows never miss, they always get the most out of their kill and they never experience a shortage of what it is they're hunting. Though if they attempt to continue taking advantage of this, they'll become cursed, and never properly hunt again.
- Rock Moon: Happens every ten years, during the month of Earth’s Rebirth. The moon seems to change color to green and brown. During this time, the earth seems to shift much more, causing new mountains to form and others to seemingly fall back into the earth. As this greatly affects the terrain of the world, most cities ban their citizens from travel, and trade is cut off over land until it's safe again.
- Sea Moon: Happens every ten years, during the month of Stormtide. The moon seems to turn blue. During this time, the seas become incredibly torrential, making it dangerous for ships to travel. Leviathan-type creatures also rise out of the waters much more often to wreak havoc.
- Blood Moon: Happens every fifty years. The moon seems to turn red. During this time, all monsters (and certain Sentient Races) seem to become much more dangerous and feral, making it dangerous to leave cities or locations that have a "Sanctuary" magic around them. It also revives all weaker monsters that were killed within the past year, and powers up every other monsters, almost doubling their power and making travel all the more dangerous.
- Treasure Moon: Happens every one hundred years. The moon seems to turn gold. During this time, any and all treasures within the realms seem to shoot a beacon up into the sky. The beams are white in color, but become much brighter depending on the rarity or amount of the treasure. Strangely enough, it only locates treasure that hasn't been touched or "claimed" since the last time it happened.
- Lost Moon: Can potentially happen every one thousand years. The moon seems to either disappear, or turn completely black. Five thousand years ago, it was normal for this to happen during every Moon's Fall, with the moon disappearing from the sky supposedly to battle against a great "calamity". Recently though, it's only happened every thousand years.
- Calamity Moon: Can potentially happen every thousand years. The moon seems to change color to black and cracks, a nasty looking, rather large monstrosity being born from it, as if hatching from an egg. This moon only came to be one thousand years ago, the same year after the First Hero disappeared. This moon caused all the ancient monsters that had been slain to revive once more, and cause havoc and terror upon the world. It also made all of the monsters even more powerful, tripling the power of them all by the original amount. Prophecies say this moon will rise once more soon, and bring the world to ruin. The Spirit's Moon, Selinófoto The moon furthest from the world (about three times the size of our own moon) is Selinófoto, the youngest son of the God of the Moon, Tsuki. This moon seems to be special in its own sort of way, given the way it appears. It's only considered "whole" one day out of the entire year. Otherwise, its fragments float throughout the night sky, slowly forming into one again over the course of an entire year. It always reforms itself on a single day: the 31st of Spiritwatch, the holiday of Hauntsen (equivalent to our Halloween). During the time the moon is fully formed, the Spirits and other such beings are able to fully come down to the Realms from their place on the once fragmented moon, to cause chaos and trickery for the entire day. But once the clock strikes midnight, they're all summoned back to Selinófoto, which breaks apart once again, becoming its most broken state. The Prison Moon, Tsuki A moon that appears to be roughly the same size as Fengári, appearing in the opposite side of the sky that it's in. This moon appears to be a dark red color, causing many to confuse it for a Blood Moon, but these are two completely separate things. While it is red because of blood, it has no correlation with a true Blood Moon. Its secret is that it is, in fact, a moon that acts as a prison. Though only the most dangerous of beings and beasts are trapped within it. Its dark side acts as a portal that leads to a pocket dimension, inside which is an entire prison complex. This is the only way in and out of this moon, and as such it has the most powerful of deities guarding it, to prevent anyone from entering or leaving without permission. The Great One's Seal, Mahina A moon that seems to be half the size of our own moon, appearing to always position itself above a specific location. A much lighter green color than the Green Sun, it was actually created as a seal to keep a great evil locked away. Its name lost to the annals of time, it was once fought by The Guardian, who was empowered by the Green Sun itself. Their battle was said to have lasted one hundred days and one hundred nights before The Guardian overcame this evil, ripping it in half and trapping part of it deep underground. The other half was merged with the earth and tossed into the sky, becoming this new moon. The beast is rumored to reawaken should this moon crash back into the earth, and cause its body to become whole once more. The Shattered Moon, Yuèliàng A moon that would've been normal in size, had it not been broken into pieces. With a normal, gray coloration, only its remaining fragments can be seen in the skies at night. Although not as many remain, as some of these fragments have come crashing to the earth, allowing powerful weapons and gear to be forged from them. The reason for this moon's shatter was due to a battle between The Hero and The Corruption those one thousand years ago, their battle sending the pair crashing into the moon to continue fighting before crashing back to the earth. Its hopes of one day becoming whole again are now lost.
