	The <b>Moon</b> is a celestial object that rises in the [[East]] and sets in the [[West]], and which governs the [[night]] as the [[Sun]] governs the [[day]]. [[Wizards]], [[clerics]], philosophers and other sages are divided with regard to the nature of the Moon. Many hold the belief that it is a [[god]], or the dwelling of a god or gods, while others believe it to be a great disc of [[silver]], which the gods created to illuminate the night. Materialists hold that it is a great stone that circles the earth, just as water circles as it enters the water-clock. Still others believe that it is [[wikipedia:Cockaigne\|a world somehow opposite to our own]], where night is day, ~~pleasure~~ is ~~commonplace~~, and the servant beats the master. Among [[Lizard-folk]] it is a commonplace that the Moon is a great Egg which [[The Mother\|their goddess]] laid in the sky to hatch [[the next world]].

	Modern [[lenses]] have revealed to our natural philosophers that the surface of the moon has mountains and seas of its own, and may one day become powerful enough to observe what manner of creatures inhabit it.
