A folk tale about Queen Tsa and "the cleverest of the three moons,"{{book ref|sa3|67}} [[Mishim]], is used to explain why the people of Natan have blue skin. In the story, Mishim first tries to convince the queen to swap places with her by enticing her with descriptions of the marvelous sights of the heavens. Tsa turns down all of Mishim's advances, however, by telling her that such sights are not for mortals. Finally, however, Mishim convinces Tsa to trade places with her by telling her that one of her towers has a flaw that is only visible from above. Mishim warns that this swap will be dangerous, as they must conceal it from the moon [[Nomon]], and Tsa promises to pretend to be Mishim and to look only on her towers.{{book ref|sa3|67}}
