Orhan

The largest of the moons, Orhan is also the only moon with an atmosphere, making it more like a planet than a moon. The surface is perpetually shrouded in clouds, making observations of the surface impossible. The period of orbit is 28 days. The moon is so bright that it is visible in broad daylight (although just barely). Orhan is reputedly the home of a group of gods, the Lords of Orhan.

Varin

The second largest moon, Varin is much smaller than Orhan, although it still has a discernible disk. It orbits in a period of seven days, giving rise to the Myaasian seven-day week. In appearance, Varin is a strange, mottled orange, possibly as a result of volcanic activity.

Charon

A small, featureless, silvery-gray moon, it orbits in a peculiar polar orbit and is rarely in conjunction with Orhan. Little is known about it, but it is considered an evil presence by most Myaasians, who believe that the orb is a haven of strange, otherworldly beings and presences. Astronomers believe that it is covered by a permanent layer of ice of unknown depth. Because of its anomalous orbit, Charon is invisible for more than half of its rotation, as it is between Myaasia and the sun. As it comes around the planet, however, it rises slowly from the south, rising higher and becoming more full every night, until one night every 149 days Charon is full and at zenith in a given location. The full moon occurs in different places at different times, of course, and the latitudes far from the equator are fortunately spared this event. It shines much more brightly and with a reddish glow. There is no mistaking the Night of the Third Moon. Dark cults worship Charon, and they consider the zenith to be a time of particular importance – a time when servants of unlife are able to leave their home on Charon and come to Myaasia.

Mikori Mikori

The least visible of the Myaasian moons, it can barely be made out as a gleaming mote in the night sky.

Tlilok Tlilok

A satellite of Orhan rather than of Myaasia, it is a tiny moon and is only visible as a mote against the backdrop of Orhan on clear nights.
