Does it exist? Are there stars in the night besides the moon/s and sun/s? Are there astronomers, perhaps astrologers? Constellations named after legends or heroes?

What do Zalanthans think of these stars, and of the moon and sun?

They can't see them through the dust, I think.
Varak:You tell the mangy, pointy-eared gortok, in sirihish: "What, girl? You say the sorceror-king has fallen down the well?"
Ghardoan:A pitiful voice rises from the well below, "I've fallen and I can't get up..."

I don't think dust beign in the air would be constant enough to block out the stars, if that were so it would block out the moons to an extent too. Also from what i know the stars come out really bright on the desert (thought that might just be the absent of city light).
I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.

There are constellations.

There are constellations. Might be a bit OOC though.

And for all that is good and holy, read at least this part:

Quote from: "Nessalin"
I'm cool with seeing them go in but would ask that we show some
restraint in adopting RL concepts when documenting them. Please don't
rip off RL constellations or try and map an RL list of stellar personalities for
use in the game. Zalanthas likely has some sense of astronomy for
predicting when the moons will rise/set, be in alignment and do an
eclipse, but this doesn't mean they will have astrology where everyone
has a sign based on the constellation they were born under.
