Rumourmill: Ebb and Flow Done!

I have had the Ebb and Flow working in the game for a while, amplifying abilities and spells at different times, depending on the lunar cycle of each of the moons - but I've been really scratching my head at how I was going to visualise it in-game

I very much wanted to show the two sides of each moon turning and eventually rotating away to show the opposite side and just had no idea how to do it. This evening, I had a burst of inspiration and have come up with a solution that is bringing my joy. Much heart-warming joy.

There's banners for each pair of gods and I've worked out how to snip/display just the right bits so that you can see who is looking down upon the world at any time, and they will rotate in time with their cycles, so you can at any time quickly check what abilities will really be worth using - or what creatures might be good to avoid at that particular time.

Here, the face of Water is almost turned away, with Fire coming in to replace it. The Air cycle is just past its highest point while Earth is nowhere to be seen, Death is starting to fade giving way to Life - and with the main focuses shifting away, Entropy is rife, while Chaos is weak.
