The
Night of the Eye
All
three moons of magic come into conjunction thrice in 504 days, but not
between equal periods of time. These conjunctions happens twice when
they are crescents and once when they are full which is also know as
the Great Eye. Since Solinari’s orbit takes 36 days, Lunitari’s orbit
takes 28 days, and Nuitari’s orbit takes 8 days, when all the moons
are full, one can show that only 504 days later they will be all full
again. When moons of magic are full, they always come into conjunction
and thus form the Great Eye, a massive white eye with Nuitari as a
black pupil and Lunitari as a red iris. The Night of the Eye marks the
night when the magic on Krynn is at its peak.
When gods
sent a fiery mountain to Istar on the thirteenth day of Yule, the
third of the new year, it was the Night of the Eye.
On the
Night of the Eye, a Wizard of High Sorcery offers her services without
charge. Before the Cataclysm, wizards used to go from door to door to
perform minor magics. After the Cataclysm, children started to go from
door to door dressing like wizards and performing tricks in order to
take cookies.
Ancient writings speak of three wizards of different alignments with
great powers who gave their lives to their art hundreds of years ago.
Like the gods of magic, these wizards’ primary ambition was to spread
magic throughtout Krynn. But each of them wanted their particular
alignment to gain control of the power when the time came. Thus they
cast their final spell and sacrificed themselves and unleashed immense
magical power. This energy releases when the Great Eye is formed. Even
if these ancient writings are true, no one knows the ways of acquiring
this power.
