The term brightest night refers to a celestial phenomenon occurring roughly once every century, when all three moons are simultaneously full.
Description
Brightest nights occur when all three moons are full on the same night.[1]
At the time of Darkstalker, NightWings thought dragonets who hatched on the brightest night would have animus powers, but it was later concluded the third moon would only enhance their foresight and mind-reading.[1]
