Constellation Cycle

The constellation cycle is made up of twelve major constellations. These constellations are used by the Gogepe, though not exclusively, to mark time. The star Zera passes through all twelve, staying for approximately one year in each.

The Twelve Constellations (Years)

 * Orope, the White Snake
 * Pekari, the Azure Fish
 * Inko, the Silver Llama
 * Skretch, the Topaz Spider
 * Faroosh, the Black Falcon
 * Sakabe, the Red Scorpion
 * Apeko, the Copper Ram
 * Lagoro, the Jade Lizard
 * Hoowa, the Amethyst Owl
 * Marei, the Golden Camel
 * Goren, the Amber Goat

For the Gogepe, Orope is the most auspicious time to be born in since it comes at the start of the cycle and symbolizes new beginnings and hope.
 * Rakeesh, the Stone Panther

Different cultures will often substitute for a slightly different animal (e.g. the Stone Mountain Lion/Jaguar/Leopard), but they will usually resemble each other, hinting at a shared history.
