Brevk is the farthest and largest heavenly body that orbits Val'thoron. It gets it purple hue do to two things, atmospheric interference. And the color and distance from Val'thoron. But the soil is roughly the same color as Lumara. It just has a slightly purplish color. And with distance it becomes more and more apparent. Brevk is the largest of the three other moons at a diameter of 3176 miles it looks about 15% smaller than Lumara. And it is due to Brevk being so far out, and so looks smaller. It is about 264,750 miles above the surface of the planet. And it is the slowest orbiting of the three moons also. Unlike the others that travel in hours from horizon to horizon.
Brevk takes four days to travel the same distance. And then it is gone for four days. When it is on the back or reverse side of Val'thoron. And then it reappears but in a different phase for the next four days. So it takes it 32 days to go through a complete lunar cycle. How it came to be in Val'thoron skies is still a mystery to most. Some said it was the main part of a much larger body. And so the three moons are the remnants of that moon. While others said that it was the main moon and so when Lumara and Rougevet got between the planet and Brevk. They became trapped and was brought into orbit around the planet.
How Brevk became such a strong symbol for magic has been lost. But some believe that it holds sway and either makes or breaks a spell casters success. While others just ignore it and act like it has no bearing on what they do. But one way or another some still think that if Brevk is not in the right position. Or not in the right phase. Then all their best layed plans are for naught, or their spells would backfire or not be successful. It also depends on who is also the teacher of said student if they hold onto this belief or not also. Now the moons are here and are shining brightly. So the question is well Brevk become a powerful force. And perhaps even show and help the academy through these trouble times?
