 Sinai lacks for any moon, but it does possess a ring, which is known to Rephidim culture as "The Procession". From the ground, it appears as a long trail of "stars" which move ever so slightly faster than the real ones behind them across the night sky. Some of the larger "travellers" figure strongly in astrology in many Sinai cultures. The ring is so named because ancient myth holds it to be a procession of the recently departed souls making a pilgrimage to the land beyond the stars. The larger points of light follow fairly consistent orbits (despite frequent collisions with smaller chunks of space debris) and have been attributed with names corresponding to major persons of history long past -- the names having survived much longer than the memory of what exactly made the owners of them worthy of such immortality in legend. These "guides" are held to remain forever in the Procession, leading the way to the lands beyond.
