Eldritch Moons of Shivath: The Celestial Calendar
The night sky of Shivath is governed by the cyclical return of the Eldritch Moons. These rare and terrifying celestial phenomena warp the laws of nature, alter the minds of the living, and blur the boundaries between planes.

Dates fluctuate annually within a flexibility margin of +/- 1 day.

Spring

First Month, Day 10: Glowering Moon

The night of despair. Silent voices whisper surrender under a suffocating blanket of hopelessness, sapping the willpower of those who dare look up.

A wound in the sky that swallows light, thinning the boundary between the living and the dead to reveal chained apparitions.

Winter
