Sibling Moons Auzi & Sata

History tells of the once brother moons Auzi and Sata. Auzi, the bigger of the two, stood proud and often outshone his smaller brother Sata, who often stayed in the shadow of his brother, only coming out once a year to view the world.

Then at the end of the second age, the great Rift changed the landscape of the world. This happened to coincide with Sata’s outing in the heavens. The Rift sent an unseen ripple across the world and out into the universe, Sata stood strong in the face of the oncoming force and protected Auzi. Taking the brunt of the damage from the impact of this force. It caused a crater to form, sending bits of rock and dust to fly into orbit. This damage though great uncovered the beauty within Sata. For he was made of purely of brilliant diamonds. His true beauty now shining brightly in the nights sky. A ring began to form around Sata made of these diamonds, making it appear as if the moon now wore a crown.

It is said that Sata’s sacrifice helped him to realize their true self within, to see the diamond or beauty within. From then forward, Sata came out of her shell and stood proud as a new person, and new sister to her brother Auzi. The whole year Sata proudly displayed her new self and her new crown of diamonds to the world. Knowing that she was finally who she was meant to be. As the year neared the end, Sata saw that her brother was proud of her, but that he too also missed his place as the proud and strong brother for all to see. So, she made a pact with her brother. Every year on the anniversary of her new life, they would trade the crown and take the mantle of the First moon for the year. This pleased Auzi and made thier bond even stronger and they have lived in harmony and happiness since.

Auzi


The bigger of the two moons, known as the big brother and protector is associated with strength, war, and justice. Auzi is made of a bright white rock, that illuminates the sky well. He is wider and bigger of the two moons and is often worshiped by first brothers, fishermen, soldiers, and even some paladins.

Sata 


The smaller of the two moons, was once known only as the younger and shy brother, is now the bright and beautiful sister. Originally having a darker black rock covering, is now covered in the remnants of the crater that was formed from the force impact of the Rift. The inside of the moon is actually made of diamonds, those blow from the impact, now stand littered across the surface. The rest of the debris that did not land as formed a ring of diamond that now circles the moon like a crown. Sata is now known for femininity, change, freedom, power, good, art, and more. Every year, she hands her crown to her big brother Auzi, so that he may also shine bright.

The Crown


A ring formation of diamonds that circle the First moon. Every year, during the Satuzi Moon Festival, the crown can be seen slowly transitioning from one moon to the next, when the second moon, takes its place as the first moon. During the third night, this transition is in perfect harmony and is known as the infinity moon, due to the appearance of the ring forming a perfect figure 8 between the two moons. This is considered by many the night of luck, rebirth, harmony.
