Moons and Tide: Dimidium’s Celestial Rhythms | Part 04
ByMorgan A. Drake December 1, 2025December 27, 2025

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.

Every domain watches the same three moons. But each interprets what they see through the lens of their particular needs and traditions.

Moons and Tides: Dimidium’s Celestial Rhythms | Part 02
ByMorgan A. Drake December 1, 2025December 1, 2025

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.

The Dragon – Human Bond Final Part
ByMorgan A. Drake November 12, 2025December 1, 2025

The dragon-human bond didn’t exist before the Separation. Couldn’t have existed. Dragons and humans occupied the same world but lived fundamentally separate existences—dragons in their mountain territories, humans in their scattered settlements, no meaningful contact between species beyond occasional dangerous encounters.

The Dragon – Human Bond Part Three
ByMorgan A. Drake November 4, 2025November 12, 2025

Ask a bonded rider, and they’ll tell you something different: “I’m never alone.”

The Dragon – Human Bond Part Two
ByMorgan A. Drake October 30, 2025October 28, 2025

The clans can predict the convergence seasons—late spring and early autumn—but the exact timing varies by days or even weeks. Storm-callers monitor the conditions obsessively. Weather-readers watch for the telltale signs. Everyone waits.

ByMorgan A. Drake October 30, 2025October 28, 2025

One of them is mine, she thinks. Then immediately: No. One of them might choose me.

Because that’s the truth the clans teach from birth: you cannot force compatibility. You cannot demand a bond. You can only stand at the convergence ground with your mind open and your heart ready, and hope that somewhere in the wheeling dance of dragons above, there’s one who feels the same impossible recognition you do.
