All cultures that spend any time above ground see their own shapes when looking at the stares, but the wandering Halflings and the seafaring Elves are best known for their time spent looking at the sky. Of those, the Halfling Zodiac became the Zodiac of the Ubrekti Empire, and thus, is the most commonly known set of constellations on the Mainland.
Formerly, it lined up prefectly with the Standard Calendar, but the intervening ~1500 years have seen some drift.
The signs are the DOG, the BARGE, the DRAGON, the LANCE (or CROSS), the WARRIOR, the SERPENT, the RAT, and the DRUID,
By the calendar:
- SPRING: Dog, Barge
- cusp - river dragon
- SUMMER: Dragon, Lance
- cusp - dog rider
- FALL: Warrior, Serpent
- cusp - nest (hearth)
- WINTER: Rat, Druid
- cusp - werewolf
Each sign has its associated astrological significances, which the Halflings still observe and record.
