Moon

Levena is what the moon is called in Avlis it seems.

The Aquilan Calendar is composed of 10 months of 28 days and two seasons who's combined length is 85 days with 1-2 adjustment days giving a 365 day year. This calendar has been in use for about 2100 years.

The months are named as follows: Harmonilun (Harmony) --TN Honorlun (Honor) -- LG Caritatilun (Benevolence) -- NG Libertatilun (Liberation) -- CG Officilun (Duty) --TN Imperium (Imperial) -- The Empire Licentilun (Freedom) --CN Glorilun (Glory) --LE Egolun (Self) --NE Nihilun (Anarchy) --CE

The season of Harper's Dusk begins after the month of Nihilun on the moon nearest the Hibernal Solstice. Half way between the Hibernal Solstice & Vernal Equinox is when the season changes to the season of Spring Maidens Dawn. After which, it is Harmonilun again (which corresponds to late March in the real world calendar)

Some moon name proposals: A fairy moon is the second new moon of a solar month. This moon phase, also known as a black moon is comparable (and opposite) to a blue moon. The Hunter's Moon (also known as Blood Moon or Sanguine Moon) is the first full moon after the Harvest moon, which is the full moon nearest the Autumnal equinox. The Harvest Moon is the full moon nearest to the autumnal equinox. Blue moon is also a name given to the third full moon of four during a given season.

For clarity I'll use real world months to propose alternate moon names.
