Seven Moons Ceremony

"The Seven Moon Ceremony is important to Arutakai, our home planet, Reiika. It is the most joyful and luscious time of the entire year!" -Sadira.

Often referred to as the "Planet Harvest", it is the one time of the year (which moves each year) that the seven moons of Arutakai align in front of the massive red star, Zetanos. It is at this exact moment (which lasts for 52 of the 87 hours in the Arutakain day) that all flowers, all vegetables, all fruits, and all of nature itself blooms.

The Ceremony

In order to celebrate this glorious occasion, Sadira (X. Mortus), Fiirda, and Reiika (F. Mortus) will collect and distribute the fruits of the planet to all of the people living on the planet, be it sentient beings of the frigid waters or the beings of the deserts. All welcome the Goddess and her companions with an uproar of rhythmic music and song (which she sings to) as they make their way through the entire planet, to visit every continent, every group of people, everywhere.

At the palace, Sadira, Reiika and Fiirda will be dressed from head to toe in beaded headress and ceremonial robes made of barely-there silk of the finest make. Sadira and Reiika will then mount Fiirda and gather the fruits to be distributed. It is a jolly time, and should be celebrated as such.
