The fourth of the twelve, the Unicorn, tells of a wealthy man who believed a legendary unicorn had saved his life.

Hoping it would return, he built the grandest stable in the world and waited for it until the end of his days. In honor of his unwavering faith, the constellation was named the Unicorn, and he is remembered when the Month of Nui returns.

The fifth constellation, the Blind, comes from the tale of Firran, a wife who sacrificed both of her eyes to save her husband as he lay dying from a viper's bite. Moved by her sacrifice, the Father of the Sun restored her husband to life and immortalized her sightless form among the stars. When Month of Sprouting arrives, lovers point to the Blind and pledge their devotion to one another beneath the stars.

The sixth, the Chariot, tells of two rival blacksmiths competing for the title of greatest smith. While forging a divine chariot, they found themselves in peril. They set aside their rivalry and worked together to finish it. Impressed by their friendship and cooperation, the god placed their chariot among the stars. Whenever the Month of Zamra returns, people remember that behind every great achievement lies a hardship overcome together.
