The Moons of Siveth
Dilminth and Peralin
Geographical Information
Location:	In the orbit of Siveth

Description

Dilminth, or Green Lady, has the slower orbit of the two around the planet, which takes a single day to complete. Rising from the eastern sky and slowly making its way to the west through its climb on its five degree tilt. Its rotation takes 28 days to go from new moon to full, and rotates at the same rate it revolves around Siveth, which means the same unchanging face is always shown to the inhabitants on the surface of the planet. Stories tell that Dilminth is the mother of the smaller blue moon Peralin, and she slowly makes her way around him and the planet making sure they both stay out of trouble.

Peralin, or Blue Boy, is closer to the planet than Dilminth and has such a rapid transition that it fully orbits Siveth in 1/4th the time of its larger companion, whose path has no tilt, which also rises in the eastern sky and moves to the west. Due to its quick orbit some nights it has already made most of its journey before it's dark enough to see fully. Being close as it is also sometimes possible to see this moon in the day given clear skies. Rotating so the phases shift from new moon to full four times a month, it is a fast traveler in the night sky. Unlike it's larger counterpart, Peralin does not rotate at the same rate it revolves around Siveth, meaning it constantly changes the face it shows to the surface. As the lore goes Peralin is the young energetic son of Dilminth who is always running from his mother and making mischief where he can.
