In Fonrit, the Red Moon is the Demon Planet, Yran, the patron of the Leapers. These horrible cultists conquered all Fonrit with ease before disappearing to "pay of their pledge". Recent Blue revolts have lead to fears among informed Fonritans that the Yranians are not gone but in hiding.

In Vormain, the Red Moon is the home of Octamo, the only Vormaini Diety that is actually hospitable to foreigners. Nobody knows whether the worshippers of Octamo were expelled for this sin or simply left out of religious devotion. More disturbing is the possibility that the Vormaini have worshipped Octamo before the rise of the Red Moon.
