The three moons are visible from Pyrrhia and Pantala. When full, they grant NightWings hatched beneath them powers.[1] Approximately once every century, all three moons will be full at once, resulting in a brightest night.
Imperial is the largest of the three moons. The others are named Oracle and Perception.[2]
Effects
NightWing powers
NightWings hatched under one full moon are granted the power of either mindreading or foresight while those hatched under two full moons are granted both these powers. Dragonets who hatched under three full moons are granted enhanced mindreading and foresight. It was once rumored that the third full moon also gave NightWings animus powers, but this was later disconfirmed, as animus magic had been proved to pass on genetically.[3] The power of the gifts differ. For seers, some dragons such as Clearsight received strong foresight that could reveal multiple futures and their timelines while others only receive flashes of the future.[event 1] For mindreaders, some dragons such as Fatespeaker are empaths; they can only sense emotions instead of thoughts.[event 2] When the NightWings moved to the volcanic island, the knowledge of these powers was forgotten, possibly on purpose, to make sure no dragon like Darkstalker will ever hatch again.[4] NightWing eggs under a full moon's light will turn a polished silver color, while normal eggs remain black.[5]
Mindreader NightWings hatched under blood moons can project their thoughts to any dragon, not just other mindreaders. Meanwhile, prophet NightWings hatched under blood moons can see terrible events and natural disasters with particular clarity.[event 3]
