Tirion
Tirion, the mystical satellite that graces the night sky of Gallidion, tells a tale of ancient catastrophe and enduring mystery. Once adorned with thriving life and vibrant colors, Tirion suffered a cataclysmic event of arcane origins millennia ago. The hubris of ancient spellweavers led to a reckless attempt to channel the primal energies of the cosmos, aspiring for godlike power. However, their ambitions resulted in a devastating failure, tearing the very essence of life from Tirion's core.
In the aftermath of this catastrophic event, Tirion's once-vibrant landscape was transformed into a barren and desolate expanse. Its atmosphere dissipated into the void, leaving behind a silent and colorless surface. Yet, amidst this desolation, remnants of the moon's former glory linger. Celestial fragments infused with raw magical energy continuously rain down upon its surface, creating luminous craters that shimmer with arcane power.
During special nights when Tirion aligns with its sister moon, Siaria, the moon's typically colorless and monochrome surface takes on reddish hues. This change in coloration is a result of the combined light from both moons, casting a crimson tint upon Tirion's once-lifeless landscape. It is during these nights that certain magics are said to be emboldened, drawing upon the enhanced celestial energies that permeate the world.
Despite its barren and inhospitable appearance, Tirion holds within its depths the echoes of a forgotten age—a time of prosperity and monumental arcane achievements. Ruins and relics dot its surface, serving as silent reminders of the civilizations that once thrived upon its now-silent shores. Travelers who brave the inhospitable terrain of Tirion's Lunarscape report encountering enigmatic phenomena. Mysterious whispers, carried upon solar winds, hint at secrets long forgotten. Ancient structures project holographic histories, revealing glimpses of a bygone era. And above all, a single, ever-present storm looms over what was once Tirion's largest metropolis, now reduced to sprawling ruins known as the Echoes of Diurna—a haunting testament to the hubris of those who dared to challenge the cosmic order.
