Moon

The Moon is a major celestial body of Poorthwart. Similar to Earth's moon, it reflects the light of the Sun. Unlike Earth's moon, it is never visible in the day time or at the same time as the Sun, as it is always at the exact opposite place from the Sun in the sky.

Days and Nights in Poorthwart
The Moon travels in a North-to-South progression throughout Poorthwart, moving back and forth, left to right to left again, ultimately hitting The Great Bounce and being flung back up again to start its progress anew. It is always in the exactly opposite part of the cycle as the Sun.

Because of Poorthwart's geography, nights in Poorthwart are far longer than days, as for any one place, the Sun is elsewhere for most of the time. For this reason, the Moon figures heavily in the culture of Poorthwart, especially in the zones around the edges of the land, which receive less light overall due to their geography.
