154684321654951 73 Share Posted April 26, 2012 OOC information: The bloodmoon isn't assigned to a specific date, but IC it happens around once a year (or five real life days). Therefore we shouldn't have bloodmoon festivals within a couple weeks of eachother, the bloodmoon is a special phenomena that we as a race have come to celebrate. Like I've mentioned, while it is just an astronomical event we believe it is an annual sign from Metztli. We assign events to it, like marriages or in more recent events: the declaration of a new Tlatlanni. Though the event is meant to be annual, we only celebrate it now and then with an event. If you get what I mean. Lore: It is believed by the Kha' that once a year, Metztli graces her children with the presence of the blood moon. The great red orb appears in the sky for a single night before disappearing as the sun strikes it's powerful rays across the sky. To the Kha, The Blood Moon is not a sign of war or violence as those who study the kharajyr would like to believe. The Blood Moon signifies the creation of the first kharajyr, it is the same colour as the blood from the ocelots of Metztli's island. While to the kharajyr Metztli is always watching her beloved creation, her presence is greatest when the blood moon is at the top of the sky. At this time it is common place for the Tlatlanni or one of the four Aelkos to sacrifice an animal (the juiciest and most plump they can offer) or a captured slave who has been deemed worthy of sacrifice. It is known that the sacrifice not only shows the kharajyr's love for their divine mother, but also that it gives her great strength. With the added strength from the sacrifice Metztli will shower her creations in gifts of many kinds. The bloodmoon is honoured by all kharajyr as a celebration of life, creation and good cake.
