There is also the broken moon, which isn't really a moon, but likely once was - it is a large asteroid that remains invisible from the surface of Nym most of the time, but is said to be atleast one third the size of Leira and does orbit Nym as well.   Leira Leira rotates around its own axis almost exactly 10 times per metric year, meaning 10 such rotations makes a Calendar Year for most inhabitants of Nym, and because of the extremely long days this creates, the moon appears to be extremely arid - but otherwise habitable - though it is unknown if anything lives there.   The Leaping Moon Máni has makes a journey across the orbits of the neighboring planets once per century - this journey, known as its "Pilgrimage" lasts somewhere from one to two decades, and is rarely exactly the same - elvish studies conducted in the past suggests that there are over 152 patterns it follows - seeing as it causes horrible storms when it orbits Nym, most pray for a brief stay in Nym's orbit, but many people have grown up experiencing there being two visible moons for years, until then suddenly, one leaves orbit as suddenly as it came.   The Broken Moon The broken moon is likely the remains of a moon that once oribted Nym, but is actually just a very large asteroid that orbits Nym. It is roughly one third the size of Seluna, but it is rarely visible.
