	All eight of the heavenly bodies representing the “anti-virtuous acts”, as well as Daedaelus, are present and they all rotate correctly around Novia along the same broad orbital plane as the sun… The great serpent now rises up through the empty path that the lost moon that shattered our greater moon once traveled. The off-kilter crescent-shaped circular arcs piercing the moons are at varying angles compared to the greater orbital plane, and though they don’t describe the actual path of the moons around Novia (since all the moons rotate upon the same orbital plane around Novia as the sun does) the arcs represent each of those rotating bodies own individual axis around which it spins in place as it orbits, and that axis is offset from the angle of the greater orbital plane by a factor of degrees. Those arcs pierce perpendicularly through those various different lunar axes. Each of the moons orbits at a different speed, which causes the offset arcs to create beautiful, constantly varying configurations that one could imagine describe the greater firmament and its hidden constellations in some arcane manner. Here you can see the moons all having rotated a bit at different speeds, exposing different patterns while still remaining on the single orbital plane.<ref>[[Update of the Avatar]] [https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/?p=64383 #198: Update to the Darkstarr Moondial] by [[Scott Jones\|Scott “Scottie” Jones]]</ref>		:''All eight of the heavenly bodies representing the “anti-virtuous acts”, as well as Daedaelus, are present and they all rotate correctly around Novia along the same broad orbital plane as the sun… The great serpent now rises up through the empty path that the lost moon that shattered our greater moon once traveled.
