Description

In the old days, the three moons were loved and revered as deities by all NightWings, but only moonborn dragons who received the gift of mind reading, prophecy, or both were able to experience the intense feelings of overwhelming joy, exhilaration, and peace that radiated off a full moon. This is why they started holding full-moon festivals–- so that the moon-gifted dragons could expend their carnal, raw energy in the form of dancing or sparring to avoid being driven half wild with the intoxicating power of the moons. Blowing smoke at whichever moons were full during these festivals was considered a show of deep respect and gratitude for the generous gifts that were bestowed onto the moonborn dragons at their hatching. After the abrupt disappearance of the NightWing tribe, the full-moon festivals were adopted by the SandWings and the tradition lived on. Two thousand years later, unable to sleep with the wild humming energy of two moons running through her veins, Moonwatcher has a full-moon festival of her own, alone and in secret.*
