The Way of Trinity Moon
The Way of Trinity Moon is a spiritual order dedicated to celestial observation and contemplation of the mysteries of the cosmos and its greater setting within the Discontinuum. Its origins are incredibly ancient and are thought to belong to the time when the first Fey visited the realm and imparted their wisdom to indigenous shamen.
Structure
The organisation has no formal leadership and no official agenda, but there are meetings held at irregular intervals and informal channels of communication facilitated by the secret signs and coded language known to the members.
Public Agenda
The Way of Trinity Moon is more interested in theory than practice and is perhaps more of a philosophical society than a religion, interested in the natural sciences but having little concern for their practical application.
Neverthless, its systematic astronomical observations did form the basis of the calendar used to this day and established in the age of the Old Kingdoms.
In the deep past it built stone circles as observatories and it catalogued the movement of the planet's three moons in great detail until it could predict conjunctions and the strength of their tides. Those few who still adhere to the ancient and secret membership rites, continue their study of the planets and stars to this day and have derived complex orbital models to account for their motion. It could be argued, however, that the construction of the calendar was their finest achievement and their more recent work is little more than mystical navel gazing.
History
Magicians' End is an unusual evolution in many ways and some of that can be ascribed to the existence of the Way of Trinity Moon. As a result of very early and deep contact between the Fey and the sages of the world then known as Trinity Moon, intelligent seekers after knowledge have understood since time immemorial that their world is only one amongst many and that their entire universe is also only one amongst many within the Discontinuum. In more typical evolutionary timelines this knowledge might take thousands of years to be widely understood.
