The Celestial Bodies

The sun and moons of Amb are thought to be manifestations of the Gods they are named for. The movements of the stars, moons and suns are taken very seriously by mages, priests and the common folk. Astrology is a common belief in all of Amb and people have many beliefs based on the position of the stars, moons and suns.

The Star Signs

Star signs are taken fairly seriously by the inhabitants of Amb. There are seven star signs. The star sign is determined by the path which A'a and Minol take through the star signs. A sign begins when A'a enters the sign. During the cusp of each sign, Minol can be in a different sign than A'a. people born on the cusp are said to have attributes of both signs. The only exception to this is the cusp between Lil and Pyrs, Between these two signs, A'a and Minol are aligned and cross between the signs at the same moment.

People also have Kar, Shan and Minol signs. These are determined by which sign each of the moon is traveling through at the time. The Shar sign symbolizes the lesson the soul is supposed to learn during that lifetime. The Kar sign symbolizes what the person strives for. The Minol sign effects the persons subconscious feelings and reactions to situations.

There is one day that falls under no sign. This is the Divine Day. These people are said to walk free of the influence of the stars. Some view this as unlucky, but others see it as being blessed by the Gods. This gives the person born on the Divine Day control of their own path. The Ageless are said to be chosen Fate Makers which is why they are sent to be servants to the Holy Sisters.
