The '''Twin Moons''' are planetary satellites that orbits [[Innworld]].

== Appearance ==
The twin moons may appear light blue and pale yellow,<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2016/07/30/1-02/ Chapter 1.02]</ref> and at other times they appear pale blue and yellowish-green.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/11/03/5-34/ Chapter 5.34]</ref>

They are regularly referred to as ''the twin moons''.

They wax and wane in different intervals,<ref name ="5.35H">[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/11/06/5-35-h/ Chapter 5.35 H]</ref> which are apparently used as a way of timekeeping for Innworlders,<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/04/13/6-07-d/ Chapter 6.07 D]</ref> and every farmer knows how the Innworld's lunar cycle works. The event that both moons are full simultaneously may happen every odd month or so<ref>{{VERef|5.38}}</ref>. There is the exception of the Solstices, which always have two full moons throughout the day until they wax and wane like normal once more.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/11/22/9-66/ Chapter 9.66]</ref>

The blue moon seems to take much much longer for its cycle, as "the blue moon" occurs only very rarely.<ref>{{VERef|6.21 D}}</ref>

== Mystical effects ==
Full moons influence the [[Raskghar]]: On average, there are six days and nights each month when they become more intelligent and sapient than during the rest of the time. If not only one moon is full but both of them (which happens more rarely),<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/07/27/6-34-e/ Chapter 6.34 E]</ref> that effect increases. Clear sight of the moons isn't necessary for that effect: cloudy weather or daytime doesn't impede the Raskghar.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/11/17/5-38/ Chapter 5.38]</ref> If they eat a [[Gnolls]]' heart, they remain intelligent independently from the lunar cycle.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/12/08/5-44/ Chapter 5.44]</ref>

When the Moon Halfling is activated, the green moon will move to be above the Halfling's target.<ref>{{VERef|Songs and Wands – Interlude}}</ref>

Full moons can also have importance for [Witch] rituals and their great workings, as this is the time of the height of their strengths.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/09/17/6-45-e/ Chapter 6.45 E], [https://wanderinginn.com/2019/09/21/6-46-e/ Chapter 6.46 E]</ref>

Alchemists can only use moon dew when one moon is waxing.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/04/14/2-12/ Chapter 2.12]</ref>

Some rare classes can be obtained during double full moons, such as [Lunar Swordsman].<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/04/04/interlude-paradigm-shift-pt-1/ Interlude - Paradigm Shift (Pt. 1)]</ref>

To [[Frost Faeries]], the moon cycle also has some significance.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/08/15/3-04/ Chapter 3.04]</ref>

== Moon Expeditions ==
Historically, [[Elves]] and [[Gnomes]] have walked on the moons.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/07/22/2-39/ Chapter 2.39]</ref> The Elves left a Halfling on the green moon, the [[man on the moon]], to enforced the censure of the God War. If someone says to much, the Halfling materialize and will come down to beat or kill the offender. The Halfling on the moon has also encountered visitors, such as [Mages] and a Void Dragon.<ref>{{VERef|10.25 MG}}</ref>
