The moon’s question; what The Wanderer is drawn toStirring 2: LaterNeeds 5 kin and 10 light in one moon
The Wanderer remembers; The Wanderer’s letter to kinStirring 3: LaterNeeds 10 kin and 20 light in one moon

Once a stirring opens, it stays open. A quiet moon dims the light; it never takes back what kin have built.
