Luclin

Maiden of Shadows

When the various gods and goddesses of the pantheon came to Norrath, making pacts to control territories and creating life, Luclin watched from the shadows.

History

Luclin watched the meetings between the gods and the subsequent bickering and battling, yet she remained silent. She decided to claim one of Norrath's moon for herself. This barren, ringed moon would be named after her, and much like the goddess herself, it remained hidden from view. Luclin enveloped her moon in shadows she called The Veil, which kept its existence unknown by any who lived on the surface of Norrath. It is said that Luclin could only be seen by mortals from the Plane of Sky. On her forgotten satellite, she created various creatures and races of people to inhabit it, most notably the Akheva. Throughout history, various Norrathian races have found their way to Luclin's moon. Astronomers show records of Luclin being visible for short windows of time once every few centuries. Some, such as the Shissar, came to escape extinction. Some, such as the Combine Empire, came to escape persecution.
During the Age of Turmoil, powerful wizards known as scions rediscovered the means of teleportation that the Combine Empire used to travel to Luclin so many centuries ago. Through the use of the great spires found on each continent of Norrath, they were able to translocate anyone who wished to explore the once hidden moon. More importantly, these scions had control over The Nexus within the moon's core allowing travelers to freely teleport back to Norrath; a luxury the Combine Empire did not have. The influx of visitors beginning with the Shissar and up to the adventurers during the Age of Turmoil only angered Luclin and her creations.
The moon of Luclin is tidally locked with Norrath, meaning that one half is in permanent daylight and the other in eternal darkness.

Followers

Due to her affinity for the dark corners of the world, Luclin has garnered the devotion of many rogues who offer a quick prayer to her when they find themselves seeking the protection of the shadows. Many of her less intelligent creations worship her as their patron deity as well.
