He has chosen not to heal me, but to hold me. The more intense the pain, the closer His embrace. The greatest good suffering can do for me is to increase my capacity for God. Real satisfaction comes not in understanding God’s motives, but in understanding His character, in trusting in His promises, and in leaning on Him and resting in Him as the Sovereign who knows what He is doing and does all things well.

>From the RSS Player Briefing:

"It is nearing midnight when you realize that little by little your room is growing darker. The eclipse is starting! Quickly you jump from your bed and dress, hardly knowing why you are doing so. The thoughts that you have tried to hold back flood your mind relentlessly even as the red glow from the Scarlet Moon fills your room. Every year the two light moons are eclipsed for five minutes by the Scarlet Moon, Moluno. This is of no consequence in the Liberated Lands, but it is a different matter in the Dragon Lands. Every baby born to a dragon slave during the eclipse is declared by the dragons to be a sorcerer. The helpless infant is removed from its home and taken to the School of Witchcraft that lies deep in the Forest of Horrors. There he is trained from his earliest hours in the dark art of sorcery, and his life is wholly given over to the dragons."

I would posit that far from being "no consequence in the Liberated Lands" that some groups of believers gather for prayer and fasting, hours, even days ahead of this event to petition the OverLord that the schemes of the dragons are thwarted.
