Balcla, the sun, was free to hunt every day, pushing his hounds throughout the sky. one day when Simus was looking for the ghost dragon to check his progress Fespa and Kalin worked together and tricked Balcla into promising to run their errands, which they have kept him busy with to this day. every day Balcla sets forth north to south across the sky on waning days and south to north on waxing days. concerned that the baying of Balclas leash would attract the attentions of their father they cast the 9 dogs against the night sky where the circle forever in pursuit of Fift, the boar. Centuries later the ghost dragon completed his alphabet and was released from duty by Simus. upon returning to his mountaintop to rest he discovered that his eggs, ungaurded for the whole time it had taken to create Simus' great alphabet had turned to stone. the great dragon wept deeply over the death of his kind and when the sister moons saw his grief the presented him with a gift in grattitude. as his tears fell Fespa turned them into the great waters of the world and as his tears ran across his eggs Kalin turned the 12 eggs into 12 races, and sent them forth on the tablet to make a history for their father so that he would be kept busy recording his story and never interfere in the lives of those on the tablet again. In a previous experiment Fespa created another being for her father to watch, Vanpo. Vanpo was a brave and handsome cat who travelled the land freely and found great pleasure in exploring all of the lands of the tablet, without concern for the boundaries set up by the sister moons. When the 12 eggs hatched and moved forth on the earth Vanpo found great pleasure in sailing them around, place to place. He took nearly every race to so many places that they became lost, unable to find home. When Kalin awoke and saw what her sisters creation had done to all the beautiful races, and how he had violated the boundaries they had set she lured him into the great red sea and when he was there, testing his sail she flung the entire sea into the sky where Vanpo the explorer still plies his sail, looking for new lands. Simus the uncaring- the north star. writes the story of everything on his tablet, which is the earth. he is true nuetral, and has given up on affecting events, leaving the earth in the grasp of his children. Fespa- the academic moon. Fespa is large and glows with a yellow light.she is NG and favors academics, collectors, rulers, writers and mages. she is the patron saint of all who seek to learn. Kalin- the artist moon. Fespa is smaller then her sister and glows with a reddish tone. she is NG and favors builders, artists, performers, and storytellers. she is the patron saint of creation and creators. Balcla- the sun. errand boy to Fespa and Kalin he streaks across the sky every day, the bright flames coming from his boots of fire and speed lighting the entire sky. LN Zodiac signs: The Leash- Balclas 9 dogs lie in the south sky, the represent the man and the nine alignments. Fift- the boar. fift represent nature and wisdom. he rest high in the southern sky, perpetually hounded by the leash. Vanpo-the sailor. Vanpos ship can be seen in the red blotch in the eatern sky, sailling across the sea in seach of new land. Bebe-the sea. Bebe is the giant red sea Vanpo attempts to cross. she pities Vanpo for his endless quest and sings to him. Passul-the archer. Passul was an early hero. when men were not numerous or spread across the good earth Passul fed them with the skill of his bow. upon his death Passul was honored with spot in the western skies where his bow can still be seen during most of the year. he attention payed to Fespa and Balcla began to eat at him and he attempted to organize a rebellion to steal Fespasspot in the night sky, when Fespa discovered his plan she beat him back with her flail and it took him 3 months to return to his spot in the sky, since that time Passul has always fallen below the horizon for 3 months every summer, during this time most see it as unlucky to take game with a bow.</blockquote>
