Tri-moon Countdown

Summary

The Tri-moon countdown tracks the approach of the Tri-moon and its shard crisis through January 1012. The moon is confirmed to recur every 30 days, affects the waters around Torisle Point, and may require a repelling device or the lowering of the Barrier. The Day 17-to-Day 34 countdown ends with an anomalous daylight appearance roughly sixteen hours early, while the later Day 59 and Day 61 evidence points toward the next regular occurrence around Day 64; the difference between the two later counts remains a local or inclusive-counting uncertainty.

Known Details

  • The Tri-moon affects water at Torisle Point, where locals expect high water.
  • The Tri-moon occurs every 30 days.
  • The shard crisis requires a repelling device and may require the Barrier to go down.
  • The countdown moves through the coastal, Pact, shield crystal, Dunnensend, and Goliath-war sequence.
  • The countdown notes use Tan for January 1012; Arrynoon and Timnor in this note family refer to Tri-moon, and Autumn means Auction.
  • On Day 34, the Tri-moon appeared in daylight roughly 16 hours ahead of schedule, with daylight showing it as a crystal while the Barrier looked normal and the small chunk remained visible.
  • Jin-Woo’s records found similar daytime Tri-moon events on 104 AD, 339 AD, 629 AD, and 1012 AD, though the count was recorded as three events in 1,000 years.
  • On Day 59, a Belburn marker said there were six days until the Tri-moon.
  • On Day 61, the party recalculated that the event might be another three days away, perhaps at the mountain destination or the night after.
  • With the confirmed 30-day cycle, the next regular Tri-moon after the Day 34 appearance should fall around Day 64. This supports the Day 61 three-day estimate; the Day 59 six-day marker is best treated as inclusive or local counting unless later source evidence contradicts it.

Open Questions

  • Does the next regular Tri-moon occur on Day 64, and does the exact timing match the Day 34 early daylight appearance or the normal night appearance?
  • Why does the record list four dates while describing three events?
  • Was the Day 59 Belburn marker using inclusive or local counting, or did the local marker mean something more precise than the party’s table count?
