Moons
The three moons of Terrinor are named Galemon, Keror, and Yuzla. All three of the moons around Terrinor go through phases, like the moon around Earth does.
All phases start with the adjective "waxing" (meaning increase) as they flow
into the full phase. After the full moon phase passes, it will start with the
adjective "waning" (meaning decrease). Crescent is when there is only a
small portion of the moon remaining and gibbous is when it's almost full.
Below is a chart that shows the phases in order.

Galemon
Galemon is a pale yellow moon, almost cream colored. It is large
and bright, providing a lot of light at night time when it is full.
Galemon appears to be about 3 times the size of the smallest moon, Yuzla.
It takes Galemon a little more than a month to pass through all of its
phases.
Galemon has two visible markings on its surface. The first is located
on the upper half of Galemon, and is commonly referred to as "Galemon's
Star", because that's what it resembles - an irregular 5 pointed star,
slightly more yellow than most of Galemon's surface. The second is a small
greyish blotch on its lower right section, which stands out in stark
contrast to the surrounding color.
Keror
Keror is somewhat between Galemon and Yuzla in size and has a slight
blue tint. While it provides less light than Galemon, it provides more
than Yuzla, and of a less ominous shade. Keror takes the longest of all
to pass through all of its phases, but because of this it is seen as a
good omen if an important event coincides with Keror's full moon.
Keror has many small markings visible on its surface, all of them tiny
darker blue dots. It also bears one large marking, a blue-white ribbon
along its bottom edge.
Yuzla
Yuzla is the smallest moon circling Terrinor. It circles exactly
once per week. The week and month are in fact, defined by the cycles of
Yuzla. One month is three full rotations of Yuzla.
Yuzla is small and light red. It does not give off as much light as
the other two moons, but when it is the only moon in the sky, the entire
landscape glows an eerie red.
Yuzla has only one visible feature on its surface, a thin, dark red
line that snakes from its upper right edge towards its center, then
to the left, fading out about half of the way from the center to the left
edge.
Some think that the Yuzla moon brings out evil. When Yuzla is full
and Galemon is not in the sky, often there coincides murderous events all
across Terrinor. Occasionally, stories circulate after this occurs that
the dark red line on Yuzla's surface was seen to writhe like a serpent
as the moon's evil influence caused each destructive event. Most dismiss
these tales as drunken superstition, but that doesn't stop them from
spreading again each time.

that the stars' positions change depending on the time of year.
