Meanings: New beginnings, insight, intuition, foresight, looking ahead, potential danger
We talk a lot about the sun, but the moon has as much influence over our lives. It just does it more subtly, quietly. The moon is stealthy. It comes at night. It hides amid the tree tops and behind tall buildings. Its light is soft and dim.
The moon hides so that it can peer ahead unnoticed, and catch a glimpse of even those things it should not see.
The ever-changing moon reflects our changing nature—our bodies and our minds. It represents intuition. The moon is present when we feel more than we think. When something just “feels right” or “feels wrong,” that might be the moon’s influence. It also represents inspiration—a sudden new idea.
Divination: When Hidden Moon is played, something new begins. It suggests looking forward, not backward. But what’s coming ahead might be dangerous rather than beneficial, so be wary.
Game Narrative: A new NPC arrives. An NPC has an idea. The PCs learn of a new NPC they can talk to in order to get some insight.
Joy: The PC gets an insight, seemingly out of the blue. An NPC arrives that saves or significantly helps the PC.
Despair: An NPC arrives unexpectedly and means the PC ill.
The moon rewards those who can discover its secrets.
