Satellites
Exandria has two moons, named Catha and Ruidus.
 * Catha is similar in appearance to Earth's Moon, though it is closer to Exandria and appears larger in the sky. It has a 33-day cycle during which it waxes and wanes.
 * Ruidus appears smaller in Exandria's sky due to its further distance from the planet, and its reddish-purple, maroon-brown color contributes to a dimmer glow.  Lycanthropy is relatively unaffected by this moon in comparison to the closer moon. It has a very slow orbit, taking a full year (328 days) for a revolution, and is visible for about half of the year. Myths and rumors about Ruidis abound. Some believe it to be either pre-creation from when the elements themselves were consuming all of Exandria. Others believe it may have not originally existed, but was a creation of the Betrayer Gods, and was some sort of long-running mysterious plot that was cut short during the end of the Calamity.{{Ep ref|ep=2x74|1:37:56} There is a standard belief in various cultures across Exandria of it being an entity of ill-omen.Wonderdraft_-_Eastern_Exandria.jpg
