We Legend of Dragoon fans are familiar with the idea of a red moon. It glows red once every 108 years. This color shift signals the descent of the Moon Child, among other things.. but what happens in real life? In short, the real moon that never sets glows red during a total lunar eclipse – sometimes called a blood moon. The next one takes place on September 7, 2025!
Total lunar eclipses are a little different each time: the duration, where it can be seen from, and how close the moon is to Earth. This one excels in all three, so we should celebrate! You can read articles like this one for more information about eclipses.
Part 1: Creator Challenge!
Got some time and itching to create? You are hereby challenged! Make some art, music, written work, or something else creative by Sunday, September 7th. That’s just under a week. Not enough time? Try a sketch, short jingle, or a haiku! Here are the rules:
- Must be submitted by Sunday, September 7th @ 4pm CDT (convert time here).
- Content must be related to the Moon That Never Sets! (i.e. the Moon Child or Black Monster count). If you incorporate the Moon itself: red preferred over blue, considering the whole “red moon” thing.
- Content must follow our general community guidelines – PG-13, no extreme gore or violence, no nudity, et cetera. Keep in mind this is an inclusive, all-ages fandom.

Note: If you want to see the eclipse in real life, check here for a coverage map and local time. This eclipse is not visible from the Americas – residents of those areas must rely on a video stream. We’ll try to include another feed in our LoD stream if permissible, but if not we’ll provide a link to another broadcast.
Part 3: Creator Showcase
If there are enough submissions, they will be compiled here on our website. Maybe a video too!
Event Feedback
