The heavens of Mundi possess several unique features.

Phoenicis
The sun is a white star, and from one dawn to the next approximately twenty eight hours will pass. It does not set so much as fade from view into the comming night, then grow brighter as day approches. The length of the bright/dark cycle changes with the seasons.

Luna Argenteus
A moderately sized moon of silvery white. It takes twenty eight days to complete its cycle.

The main calendar is based on its phases. The new year starts on the first day of the new moon, on the spring equinox.

Luna Sanguinem
It is an immense moon the color of blood. It takes thirty two days to complete its cycle. The sacred calendar is based on its phases.

Other than the two moons there are a number of wandering stars crisscrossing the heavens. Nine stars wind across the heavens in thier own twisting path. Taking in to account their influence, the calendar repeats every six hundred forty years.
