Let There Be Stars

It is well-known that a world like this would have to have a beautiful night sky. In fact, it is so clear most nights, that even the faintest of stars can be seen. Some of these stars have become part of the legends associated with Crests. But, they are mainly conjecture...

The Crests have a Zodiac associated with them. Below, I hope to be able to upload pictures of what they look like. But, for your information now, I shall speak of when they appear. It is fairly simple - the Zodiacs appear in the night sky in the same order as the colours of Lànúba. Lànúba is the larger of the two moons which changes colour every full moon. In other words, when Lànúba is green, the dominant Zodiac in the night sky is the bird.

As there are twelve full moons of Lànúba over the year, there are twelve dominant Zodiacs. Frònéi is connected with the Lion; Véri is connected with the Turtle; Ynèré is connected with the Rabbit; Clèsi is connected with the Wolf; Lòég is connected with the Horse; Nàrrice is connected with the Hawk; Éru is connected with the Dog; Úshk is connected with the Cat; Dàé is connected with the Monkey; Lsòla is connected with the Snake; Gé is connected with the Butterfly; and Téiq is connected with the Rat.

It has been said that the Crest chose their symbols. In actual fact, the symbols appear in their respective Zodiac. Below you can see the Zodiacs of the respective Crests:

Since it is the case that the symbols appear in the Zodiacs, and we're sure that the Crests came after the stars, then it must be that someone must have chosen the symbols for the Crests, in fact they must have also chosen the Zodiac as well. Who were these people?

Well, now that the correct, non-myth version of the History of Nàbra has been explained, it becomes clearer that the original people who were anointed as the Crests would've chosen their symbol from the Zodiac that they originally either worshipped or just liked the most. It was Élèm who made sure that each Crest chose a different Zodiac, and it was in fact the choice of the Crest that began the cycle of the colours of Lànúba as well as Lànúke. This cycle, as well as the seasons of Nàbra is what determined whether the Crests were angled more towards the good-side of the spectrum or not.
