The harbor master watches three moons hang in the sky together and thinks what everyone in Dimidium learns eventually: You don’t control these patterns. You learn to work with them.
Dimidium’s calendar predates the Separation. Before coastal, desert, and mountain cultures diverged, before the Guild established its stranglehold on magical knowledge, before humanity fractured into competing domains—the calendar existed.
Understanding lunar mechanics and tidal patterns provides academic knowledge. But Dimidians don’t just know the three-moon system. They live by it. Their daily rhythms, cultural practices, and fundamental sense of time itself flow from celestial patterns.
