Once, a long time ago, there were four moons in the sky: Spring's Moon, Summer's Moon, Autumn's Moon, and Winter's Moon. They were fours sisters born from Asla, the sun goddess. The sisters grew to be discontent as they shared the lunar world, as well as bored. Therefore, they created Avatars, creatures who carried their souls, and sent them to wander the world of ferals. Slowly, a new and stronger species was born; that of the Moon-Foxes. They were cunning and strong as ferals, and possessed the powers of Asla's earth- controlling, to some extent, the elements. Unfortunately, the ferals of the Dapplewood began to fight amongst themselves, causing much destruction. Spring's Moon, however, had decided not to create an Avatar to walk the world; she instead descended from the skies to Rainbow Mountain, where a shrine was later built to honor her. She was troubled by the wars that her sisters' Avatars were wreaking; they were not her sisters' fault, but rather that of their avatars. (avatars are imperfect; they're merely manifestations of the Lunar Beings- so they have all the shortcomings of mortals. They resided in the creatures like two souls in one body.) Unknowing that the Avatars contained her sisters' souls, she locked the Avatars away, sealing them in a sacred spot. Later, she was grieved to find that her sisters were soulless, empty shells; she also locked them away, sealing them with their avatars.
Spring's Moon returned to the heavens long ago; but she has reincarnated her soul again, this time into the body of a young femme named Springmoon. She is the Moon-child, also called the Moon-Daughter - she is Spring's Moon, and thus a child of Asla.
With her return to Dapplewood, Springmoon's charm was broken and her sisters were scattered to the winds. they are destined to wander until they find their homeland - Dapplewood- yet again. Asla has long since taken her leave of the world she created for her daughters, leaving them to reign in her place.
And that is why there is but one moon in the sky- all of them have descended to earth, and their shining palace is the only remnant of their existence in the heavens.
