Moons of Welt

Welt has a number of large celestial bodies which are larger than asteroids and natural satellites, called Moons. They are defined by their reduced gravity (when compared to Realms). 
== Moons of Welt ==
The following are the moons of Welt
=== Layered Lands moon ===
A geosynchronous moon that is in orbit above the Layered Lands.
=== Levigarian Moon ===
A moon above Levigaria that was briefly hidden from view by a Demon.
=== Panistan Moon ===
A moon above Panistan that was colonized by the Dalmer.
=== The Shattered Lands ===
A scattering of pieces of a former moon that was created artificially by the Levigarians before it was shattered by atomic fracture weapons. 
=== Vargurithms Moon/New Moon ===
A gigantic spherical object is detected in atmosphere and is shot at by the Dalmeran Celestial Defense and Exploration Array atmospheric defense array. Some of the debris of the broken object collides on the coast of Vargurithm. As a result, huge amounts of debris, including the objects rocky exterior, were left in orbit, eventually coalescing into a natural satellite, Vargurithm’s Moon, or the New Moon. The event prompted the start of Moonmaker businesses in the Ether Field of Welt. 
==Lunar events==
Lunar events are phenomenon that happen to the moons of welt.
===Lunar Lense===
Main Article: Lunar Lense
A cursed glass dome that was put into orbit, its effects were devastating for welt.
The sun's rays melt any organism into a congealed mass of flesh, they remain the same until they touch, turning into monstrous hybrids of flesh that drag themselves around the land. cursed objects lose their cursed properties while under the sun. The process continues until the entire world is one congealed mass, but it stops when the moon passes under the lense, reversing the process. This is the origin of the blessed moon cycle. The Steward eventually put an end to this, as all personnel on board wear suits to prevent contact and are shielded against sun rays. The Steward retrieved the lense for later study.
==== Caladan Witch Moon ====
Main article: The Great Boiling
The witch moon was a gigantic spectral Lunar lens that transforms moonlight into enhancing rays, allowing Utummno to rise once again, and for skeletons to do more complex tasks such as operating firearms vehicles and siege weaponry, but also allowing better communication between officer units in order to form coherent fighting platoons.
===Lunar Strain===
Main Article: Lunar Strain
Lunar Strains are caused by mass vampire extinction, they appear when too many vampires are killed at once, and a feeding frenzy ensues to replenish their numbers. This happened once when the Limax vampire population was decimated by being plunged all at once into an infected river full of slug poison.
This was later called into question when it was noticed that the blood moons occur when most populations are too low, and cause massive nuptial frenzy across the animal populations under the Lunar Strains “gaze” the procreation process is so intense that gestation periods are cut down significantly as is maturation time for young specimens. How the process works exactly and its relation to the aforementioned vampire phenomenon is still unknown.
Lunar Strains also cause the arrival of octopod hunter robots, and in time their hunters, the Blood Mooners.
=== Blood Moons ===
Main Article: Blood Moon
Blood Moons are events that herald the return of demons and monsters to an area of Welt.
===Witch Moon===
Main Article: Witch Moon
An unnatural eclipse which drives the population to murder and madness in an endless night of horror. The dread forces of the Company of Misery reign as dark kings amid the nightmare, and the baleful light of the "Witch Moon" spreads calamity and warp-tainted phenomena wherever it now falls, threatening the entire country of... .
It is an entire month wherein the latent mutations in Dalmer genetic makeup is stimulated by particular radiation emitting from the eclipse, and manifest often violently. Most of the population becomes rampant and lustful from the radiation.
Those affected by particular diseases, such as Therianthropy, Vampiromorphic hemophilia, Valkyr combustion, or Hemophiliacs lust, aren’t affected by the radiation released. As such these members of society become invaluable in controlling and assessing the advancement of the mutations. When a Witch moon is in progress, the role of these afflicted is to tranquilize, restrain and establish a dialogue with those affected by the witch moon, and place them into holding cells or appropriate cages until the moon recedes.
== Stories concerning the Moon ==
=== Lunar Landing ===
The moon was first reached when a cyclone sent a ship flying from the sea crashing into it. 
On the moon was an interplanetary war between residents of the moon and sun for the colonization of a third planet, (realm) the morningstar. 
=== The Lunar Crisis ===
A moon is tracked and threatens to crash into Welt via the celestial array.
This is due to the rapid expansion of asteroid mining throughout the empire. Tractor beams usually do not have the strength to pull a celestial body of such size. But the proliferation necessarily led to tracting operations to become widely unchecked by the DCDEA. 
As a result, over time several, sometimes scores of tractor beams fired at random hit the moon, and inched the celestial body towards Welts atmosphere. This causes Welts tides to become wildly erratic.
As the moon progressively accelerates its fall towards welt, eventually every passage of the moon causes the tides to rise ever higher, sometimes creating waves 700 meters high. The impact point is the tiny mountain enclaved elected kingdom of Grom.
To counter this, the High King commissioned four golems to converge to the impact point of the moon. These monumental golems are made to stop and push back the moon when it arrives. When it arrives, the golems manage to stop the moon from crashing, (it’s at this point that the High King secretly implants mysterious constructions on the moon) and despite being up to their colossal waists in water, push the moon back into orbit aided by repulsor beams and countless Dalmer airships to pull it out of the atmosphere.
