Stonemane Calendar Cipher

Throughout history, the shaman of the Stonemane Tribe encountered many different beasts in their vision quests.  Some would appear more frequently during different times of the year.  It is said that this is the “Time of the Hunt” for that spirit guardian.  And so, each one was assigned its place in the lunar cycle and the tribe takes the time to honour both the beast and the Earth Mother.  When a new life is born, the beast for that lunar cycle becomes the spirit guardian for the newborn.
