The Moon's night's
Due to the fact that there are two moons in the sky of Leikvollur, theire sunchronization are being celebrated in different cultures.
There are four types of alignements:
Each "Night" holds a special valor in different cultures, but they are more proeminent in Nahamira, where they are celebrated even by people who do not believe in the Mother God. To these peoples, Amallah's Night is reffered to as: Darkless night, as opposed to the Lightless night.
Each of those accurences are more or less common. For exemple, astrologists suggest that there will be no Red night during the year 1436, and some have calculated it's next apparition to be dated to the 8 of Bravery, 1437. However, astrologists say that there will be a total of two White nights, two Darkless/Amallah's night and a single White night during the year 1436.
To say that those alignements are rare is true, and their appearences are often celebrated by Gaisgains, Naharate, Eldjians and Ulana alikes. The elves of the Bodfarh forest cannot see the light of moons due to the canopy.
Interestinlgy enought, In both Blâme and Drekaland, only one moon is visible: Gaelach in Blâme and Tungl in Drekaland. The other does not dissapear, and can sometimes be seen, but the main moon outshines the other and creates the illusion that most of the times there is only one. In Blâme, the appearance of Tungl is seen as bad new, and is greatly feared.
