Lore
Arcanata's Moon lights a road that runs between two dark towers, with water in the foreground and an animal watching from each side. It marks a stretch of uncertainty, when fears and dreams colour what you see and it pays to go slowly.
In daily life, it can surface dreams, test your instincts, or blur what people remember.
